STATE CITY DISCO

Delusions of Grandeur

About Me


STATE CITY DISCO is: pop glamour, urban grit and electro frenzy.
STATE CITY DISCO speaks of: modern and future worlds, sawtooth waves, neon cocktails, cheap jewellery, bad housing and good clubs.
STATE CITY DISCO:
…fails to respect musical borders
…is a nation unto itself
…commands and conquers the dancefloor
…if your name’s not down, you’re not coming in.



Once upon a time in a land called Disco were four individuals who wanted to shake up the scene, and decided to create a place that would tower over the realm of music and dance like a neon-lit skyscraper, the State City Disco.
"State City Disco was phenomenal and lived up to our expectations. Alex Surguy took to the stage with might and energy and delivered 'Excitement' with loads of enthusiasm and attitude" - Electroqueer live review
Alex Surguy, lead vocals, loves to put on a show and thinks just standing there singing is just laziness.
Mitzi Lyle synthesiser and vocals, mixes synthesized precision with raw electro power. Don't fiddle with it, it's not a toy!
Jackie Aslan
, guitarist and mc, mixes indie and urban sounds with her rock riffs, and will not stop shouting at you until you are out of your seat and dancing.
Juliette Gilford, dancer and vocals, has got the dance moves and sassy vocals to make Beyonce look like your dad at the local disco!
"This band of young enthusiasts know where to tip their hats to the past whilst creating something rather entertaining in the process" Glasswerk
