A gig on Friday 28th March. The event starts at 19:30.
Phonseca launch their first new music in 5 years with their new album Everything Lasts Forever.
With excellent support from Alex Comaish and DJ Chris Faulkner.
Phonseca is the Synthpop/Ambient/Electronica project, which brings together Bristol’s much respected keys/synth player, classically trained pianist Matthew O’Connor and brilliant Swedish vocalist Kristina Sheppard.
Matthew has a rich musical background, bringing his talent to bands across the musical spectrum from House to Shoegaze, Psyche to Soundtrack, Electronica, Britpop and Rock.
Inevitably the urge to form a more personal musical landscape saw him starting to write his own music. This started the process which resulted in Between A Dream, the debut album under the name Phonseca.
The album was championed in the UK on BBC Radio 6 Music by both Gideon Coe and Steve Lamacq. With Steve Lamacq featuring it in his "Recommends" show. It also picked up lots of airplay and excellent reviews around the world.
Matthew’s classical training has an influence on his work. In addition to Phonseca, he has composed Library Music where his work has been synched on primetime T.V. like BBC1’s - The One Show and Gardeners World, Channel 5 programs and National T.V. in most of Europe.
This was the catalyst for first writing with Kristina, initially working on songs for a Disney project which followed a chance meeting at a wedding fayre, where they had stalls directly opposite each other.
Since its release, they have spent the past few years promoting the debut album while writing/recording the second "Everything Lasts Forever" which is now ready for release via Old Bad Habits Label.”
Quotes
Jason Small - Small Music Scene
"Matthew is a man with genuine talent that can't afford to go amiss. Kristina sings with stunning sublime harmonies, honestly the pair should collaborate more in future, they make a great team."
Steve Lamacq BBC6 Music
"This is a great album, really interesting stuff"
Dave Goodwin - Penny Black Music
"People say that a good album or piece of music is one that you will remember for a long time. This is one of the contenders already for that end of year top 10. Marvellous!"
Entry requirements: 18+
