The Origin of the Machines

Performer Name: The Origin of the Machines

The beginnings of The Origin of Machines can be traced back to circa 2015 when Station (Bass and Headaches), bored of ‘Traditional’ bands (and also fed up of guitarists getting all the glory), conceived an idea where the bass would be the prominent instrument. After going through drummers faster than Spinal Tap he gave his old mucker Hobbit (Drums and IT Wizardry) a shout. The 2 plodded on for several years writing obtuse lengthy songs with a revolving door of singers including some guy called Gareth and Burkey/Wonky who had previously been in Alchemy/The Cow Said Wonky with Station. After the Pandemic, Station and Hobbit found themselves back as a 2-piece once more until, circa 2021, Station persuaded the enigma and all round Bloody Nice Bloke that is Suchy to eschew his guitar and join the fold on keyboards and samples. Now only missing a vocalist it was suggested (by whom we genuinely can't recall) to give Pixie a shout, as it was felt that she would suit the truly anarchic direction of the band‘s music by bringing an equally anarchic performance element to the fold. This show is in Treorchy Rugby club and is acting as a fringe event for the Rhondda Arts Festival.
