SynthWest with Sinestar, Low Tide Theory & Kira

SynthWest is essentially a group of electronic music fans who all reside in the SouthWest of England and who are dedicated to creating exposure of electronic music in the Westcountry, and further afield. It all began with the creation of the SynthWest Facebook group on 21st November 2013 to discuss and share information about electronic music with likeminded individuals. This quickly grew into a conversation about the feasibility of putting on a live event in the SouthWest of England, something which is now happening on the 25th October 2014. The organizers are delighted that for our inaugural event the line-up comprises three of the UK’s finest contemporary electronic acts, all of whom are based in the West Country.

KIRA, hailing from Taunton, are an electronic/ synth based duo creating beautifully moody electronica ranging from ambient to dance. Fronted by Kira with her soft, yet seductively alluring vocal style, the act is backed by emotive string arrangements and rich analogue tones. KIRA draws on its musical influences… from the likes of Japan and DAVID BOWIE to MASSIVE ATTACK and the Boards of Canada. They marry this range of styles with old and new production techniques to create their unique soundscape.

From North Devon, Electronic / Synthpop band LOW TIDE THEORY have been developing worldwide attention for their brand of retro inspired electronic pop. They have created a sound that is familiar but also totally their own, with multi-layered harmony vocals and a funk bass guitar. LOW TIDE THEORY’s influences include OMD, NEW ORDER, PET SHOP BOYS, GARY NUMAN, THE STRANGLERS, TEARS FOR FEARS, amongst others.

Last year some of us had the chance to see SINESTAR live when they were support for MESH at their show in Duisburg. Now the band from Bristol that fuse 80’s style synth led sounds with the soaring vocals and harmonies of modern day MUSE is headlining the show. Throw in some dance inspired grooves for good measure and you start to form a picture of where the band are coming from. SINESTAR take their influences from many different genres and styles from the past five decades to create a sound which is uniquely and unmistakably their own.
