ELECTRIC BATHS

Electric Baths formed out of the ashes of The General and Duchess Collins and Haiku:My:iq in early 2008. Simon recorded an album in between touring as guitarist for Petra Jean Phillipson in an attic overlooking the city surrounded by guitars, old keyboards and microphones.

LIVE REVIEW

Electric Baths is one man and a loop pedal and the noise he makes is amazing. At times beautiful, melancholic and trippy Simon Ritchie makes a big noise. His voice sits perfectly over the top of the guitar and harmonies and all my favourite songs from the album including ‘Atoms and Muscles’ were there on display. Another great example of the wealth of talent hidden in this city. ‘I have never seen anything like that’ said one girl on the way out, well I hope we see much more in the future.
