This will be Empathy Test’s first headline tour of the USA.
About this Event
Empathy Test was formed in London, England, in 2013, by childhood friends Isaac Howlett
(vocals / songwriting) and Adam Relf (production / composition). The pair captivated
listeners from Europe to the USA, with the icy tones of their synthesizer-laden debut track,
"Losing Touch", after it was used in a viral YouTube animation celebrating Liverpool Football
Club's 2013/2014 Premier League season, by artist Richard Swarbrick.
Since then, Empathy Test has self-produced and crowd-funded the release of three stunning
albums: “Losing Touch” (2017), “Safe From Harm” (2017) and “Monsters” (2020). Empathy
Test's "big dramatic sound, [which] swoons ecstatically between the nostalgic and immediate
(KCRW), has earned them comparisons with Depeche Mode and A Flock of Seagulls, as
well as modern synth-pop acts like CHVRCHES, Purity Ring and Hurts.
Despite being offered more than their fair share of record deals, Empathy Test has chosen to
make their own path, building a legion of dedicated fans around the world, while still
managing to earn features from the likes of Vice on HBO, MTV's Catfish, Netflix, Line of Best
Fit, Earmilk, PopMatters and many more. Celebrity fans include legendary electronic
musician Midge Ure (Thin Lizzy, Ultravox, Visage) and Boy George (Culture Club), who
described them as “a musical orgasm” via his official Twitter account.
NITE are an electronic rock band from Dallas, TX, comprised of twin brother producers Kyle
and Myles Mendes. The duo combine elements of, and are inspired by, the sounds of '80s
and '90s new wave, post-punk and dance music
