See all- EAT STATIC LIVE!The Old Cold Store at The Vat & Fiddle, Nottingham
I saw the legendary Eat Static live in Bristol back in 2021 and didn't think I'd get the opportunity to see him again - and now here he is live in Nottingham! 🤩
This will be a great night for lovers of electronic music and will certainly sell out so I would suggest grabbing tickets early!

All are welcome - see you there! 🙌
ABOUT EAT STATIC
Eat Static is Merv Pepler, an electronic music project from England, UK formed in 1990.
Their first album release, Abduction, immediately established the extra-terrestrial/U.F.O. obsession which is a running motif in their samples, track and album titles, and release artwork. The band's name is taken from a sample (as found on the track Eat Static) from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
Although most often associated with the psychedelic trance genre, Eat Static's music actually spans almost all forms of dance music, including drum and bass, (acid) techno, trance, hard tek, prog house, IDM, ambient and breakbeat.
As such it is well-compared to other hard-to-categorise children of the British rave scene, like The Prodigy, Underworld, Orbital, Aphex Twin and Leftfield.
The electronic elements are frequently mixed with elements of Latin and world music, jazz, which helps to give the band's work its distinctively tongue-in-cheek humour, along with the often kitsch vocal samples from B-Movies and TV.
