Dream Wife
Bungalows and Bears // 23rd July
Hailing from London, Brighton and Iceland, Dream Wife had an interesting start as a band, forming at first as a ‘fake girl band’ for an art project before realising their collective potential could work for real. There’s nothing ‘fake’ about their talents; as they take to the stage expect energetic guitar pop with all the attitude of Bananarama. Ones to watch indeed.
