Heaven, The CFR, Sunday Artist
About This Event
Heaven, The CFR and Sunday Artist share a bill at Mercury Lounge. Heaven brings Sheffield synth-pop built around vocalist Glenn Gregory and synthesizer architects Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh, favoring structured electronic textures over spectacle. The CFR contributes a darker new wave/post-punk edge with a large streaming audience, and Sunday Artist offers song‑forward rock/pop as a grounding counterpoint.
