🎹 Southern Maltings Welcomes Our Friends Electric 🎶
If you’ve ever found yourself wondering whether the 80s only produced 40 songs—thanks to the endless parade of tribute acts and compilation albums recycling the same hits—you’re not alone. But for those of us who truly lived through that neon-drenched, synth-soaked decade, we know the truth: the 80s were a goldmine of musical brilliance far beyond the usual suspects.
That’s where Our Friends Electric come in.
This isn’t just another retro band. This is a full-blown homage to the synthesiser and the underground anthems that defined a generation. Our Friends Electric specialise in the tracks that slipped through the mainstream net but were absolutely essential to every sixth form disco, bedroom mixtape, and youth club dance floor. These are the cult classics that shaped our adolescence—the ones that still make your heart race and your feet move.
Expect a night of nostalgia, energy, and electric vibes as Our Friends Electric bring the forgotten gems of the 80s back to life. If you’re a true aficionado of the era, this is your chance to hear the songs that mattered—the ones that made growing up in the 80s unforgettable.
The event is being held on the first floor of the Southern Maltings building. Please check with the event organisers if using stairs is problematic.
