Miami Horror fills the Observatory June 20
Electro-pop group Miami Horror will be performing live at the Observatory in Santa Ana on Thursday, June 20.
Featuring a disco-house style of electronic music with psychedelic visions, this show will kick off their live return to the United States. Fans can expect a fun filled dance party with band member Josh Moriarty rocking out on the guitar.
“We love California. I can’t quite put a finger on it, but the crowd is definitely different,” Miami Horror says about performing, specifically in Orange County. “They like to party.”
Miami Horror, now based in Los Angeles, but formerly from Melbourne, Australia is comprised of producer and DJ Benjamin Plant, Vocalist and Guitarist Josh Moriarty, Drummer Aaron Shanahan and Keyboardist Daniel Whitechurch.
The group says their influences include film, photography, music and basically everything. Recently 70s music has been their greatest influence.
“It’s hard to know these things from inside, but I guess you could say we attempt to make it (our music) different by keeping things colorful and visual, lyrically and with sounds,” Miami Horror says. “There’s lots of variety between tracks also.”
According to the group, the name Miami Horror represents the two different styles of Miami Horror’s music; the two words each having a strong visual side.
“It represents the two sides we like to explore in our music,” the group says. “The upbeat summer side and the darker epic side.”
Their debut album “Illumination” was released in 2010 and they are currently working on their second album.
“We’re halfway through the next album and it’s going well. We plan to have it out later in the year and will tour after that,” Miami Horror says.
Miami Horror will go on at 8 p.m. Tickets are $10 and the show is open to all ages.
