Introduction Electric Sheep 2016 Guide

up about being alive, their dark lyrics topher R. Weingarten, Music Critic

Band Manifesto We are your voice. We are not afraid to speak back, shout it, or scream it. The world is trying to pull us back, we won’t let it. We all know it isn’t what they think that matters it ’s what you think. Be in control. Don’t let them silence you. Are you worried of being judged? We all are, it’s in our DNA, it’s how we manage to get by but does it really matter? No, it’s about being yourself, sticking together and doing what you want with nothing holding you back. We are tired of those you think we will surrender and lose hope, together we WILL be heard, we will prevail.

Fan Review “I was finally able to watch Electric Sheep live. After waiting for three hours on their website for them to release presale tickets I managed to get ahold of one. I was shocked and completely excited to receive the confirmation email twenty minutes after I purchased my ticket. I thought I didn’t get one since the site had crashed exactly at the time of ticket release. They haven’t been together for long but the way their voices melt into one and the way they get you to feel strong is worth waiting three hours. I could see the stage lights going on and off as if they were cheerfully lighting up for their performers. Electric Sheep came out and their music spoke to me in ways I would have never thought, the crowd was going wild with the intense showI can’t wait to see them again this fall, It was amazing.” Rebecca Walsh, Fan Reviewer

Electric Sheep 2016 Guide

Electric Sheep was created in 2015 after vocalist Charlie Prescott reunited childhood friends Alex Ryder on drums, Dan Marston on keyboard, and Nate Kingsley on electric guitar. They met at John Muir elementary school and became friends soon after joining their school choir and being paired together for their school’s spring show. They began to play at small festivals throughout California as well as winning several band competitions in the Los Angeles area where they signed with Columbia Records for their first album: Weekend Wars which will be released by the end of June 2016. Opening up with a three month tour in September 2016 through California, Europe, and Australia. The band members sing about family values, teen isolation, and bullying amongst other controversial topics while using an upbeat tune that completely contradicts their lyrics giving their sound and story additional layers. “A lot of the songs are about isolation and being the underdog. It was nice to get them out and take ownership over the things that I wanted to run away from,” said drummer Alex Ryder when asked why he decided to be a part of this band. This Indie pop/alternative rock band music style is consistent with loud upbeat tunes with experimental mixes. We are excited to see what Electric Sheep has in store for us.
