the French Electric
Formed from far flung parts of the UK (London via Guernsey via Northern Ireland via Lancashire) with
a mutual love of the darker shades of '80's indie, the French Electric bring broken dystopian soundtracks

Let us now deal with the facts: cracked facts, empty facts, distorted facts, blind facts, secret facts, unknown facts, guilty facts. Singer Dominic Otero spits lyrics like a man on fire, firing out songs of the city, songs of dancing through the early hours, songs of a frenzied man with too much to say and no time left to say it. Drummer Alex Sabga has been killed at least 37 times and looks none the worse for it, his stints on ‘Band of Brothers’ and ‘Alexander’ provide many a tour bus yarn.
