“I’m delighted to have been asked to take the helm for their regular local band nights and look forward to seeing the very best original bands I know grace the already famous Rec Rooms stage.
“Local favourites, and now 2019 Horsham Battle of the Bands winners, Machina released no fewer than four singles in 2019 – Hide, Devil on the Run, Cycles and What It Takes – and say they have new songs and big plans coming in 2020.
“Formed at the beginning of 2016, Vektrill are a three-piece alt rock band from Worthing who have played at impressive venues such as The Borderline in London and The Chill Bar in Illfracombe. They launched their debut album Dualistic Principle in October 2019, with single Prisoners getting repeated plays on BBC Introducing. 2020 sees the band booked for the Concorde 2, Brighton in March.

In July 2018, new vocalist Luke Harland-Cole joined the band and they recorded two further EPs. The single California was released in October 2018 followed by an accompanying music video in January 2019 (which you can watch at: https://tinyurl.com/ybrayx97)”
