Heaven, The CFR, Sunday Artist
About This Event
Heaven, the Sheffield synth-pop group centered on vocalist Glenn Gregory with Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh, plays Mercury Lounge with The CFR and solo act Sunday Artist. The bill places Heaven's electronic textures and pop-song frames against The CFR's darker new wave/post-punk and Sunday Artist's direct, song-focused sets, emphasizing tone and structure rather than spectacle.
