Anyway, fast forward 29 years and here we are in Exeter’s Lemon Grove, standing backstage, drinking water and waiting for the stage times from the promoter. Read on to find out how the evening unfolded....

MEN IN THE SKY RELEASE THEIR BRAND NEW EP VERSION 1.0.1....

November 7, 2014

Fusing atmospheric synth melodies with driving guitars to produce innovative electronica that draws as much from the jazz-blues of Jeff Beck and the funk of Chic as it does from classic British New Wave. Men In The Sky’s eloquent production aesthetic echoes the classic 1980s output of New Order and the iconic work of super-producer Trevor Horn, while the band’s guitars recall Depeche Mode’s venture into rockier, grittier territory in the late 80s / early 90s.
