CHILLI FM SPOTLIGHT

Sonic in Arcadia: the band that plays the songs other bands skip

Every cover band on the coast can do “Mr Brightside”. Sonic in Arcadia would rather play the track you forgot you loved, and watch a whole bar realise it at the same moment.

Sonic in Arcadia playing live

Why we love them

They pick songs the way a good radio show does: not the obvious hits, but the ones tied to a memory. A road trip, a first love, a summer festival. Rock, alternative and indie at heart, with a few well-chosen pop surprises thrown in.

Their show, TimeMachine – The Soundtrack of Your Life, is built around that idea, and it works. You don’t stand and watch Sonic in Arcadia, you end up singing along to something you haven’t heard live in twenty years.

Our tips

See them first

Catch them at a local gig before you book them for anything. Their website lists where they’re playing next.

Best for

A crowd that grew up on rock and indie: birthdays, festivals, works parties and bars that want a busy night.

When you book

Tell them who’s coming and what era they grew up in. Their whole show is about matching songs to memories.
