   About Slovakia
...a 3-piece based in Bath, UK, formed in late 2006. Memorable melodies and luscious harmonies combine with a solid, inventive ryhthm section and beautiful keyboard tones to create songs that draw you in with interesting arrangements and quirky yet razor-sharp lyrical observations.


"The combination of synth, Jon’s reverbed falsetto and a solid unit of bass and drums create a rich and warm soundscape that is both musically diverse and engaging...The lack of guitar in the group takes away that slightly brittle edge which works perfectly for this band. Jon’s voice is able to soar in an ocean of colour that I immediately thought would sound great on record. Records such as Radiohead’s Kid A sprang to mind. A rich palette."

We are launching our acoustic nights at The Full Moon on Stokes Croft tonight, and our bigger nights at The Attic are kicking off on Thursday.... we've got Babel, Sustatic, Yes Sir Boss and Mango Factory headlining for us in the next few weeks.. and there's a couple of festival pre-parties thrown in for good measure... and now that the sun's out, we've got that lovely big courtyard at The Attic to chill out in.

More details in the blog.

Hope to see you soon
