Hello Cosmos: An Immersive Live Experience
Hello Cosmos are a Manchester-based band and collective of creatives. A four-piece at their core, the band are led by songwriter and bass player Ben Robinson, the co-founder of the celebrated Bluedot & Kendal Calling festivals. Also features the talents of mainstay members Angela Chan on viola/synths/vocals (notably a member of the Mercury-shortlisted Lanterns on the Lake and a touring member of Placebo), powerhouse drummer Simon Robinson (brother of Ben) and the uniquely styled guitarist Adrian Ingham (assisted by a stack FX pedals); together as Hello Cosmos they are a meeting of minds of telepathic harmony with immense capability.
With each new studio session, Hello Cosmos expands its sphere of collaborators, inviting a growing cast of guest musicians to add their own fuel to the creative mayhem. The band’s laissez-faire approach has seen them work with over 50 artists worldwide to date, with members of The Pleasure Temple Ritual Band, Post War Glamour Girls, Galaxians, Lost Colours and more, lending their expertise.
Unfurling a string of stimulating singles, EPs and a debut album since their formation in 2017, Hello Cosmos found their breakthrough with the obliterating electro-punk of the ‘Run for President’ EP; winning over supporters at BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music and Radio X, to Under The Radar and Louder Than War in the process.
Big Society
Their music has been described "a gorgeous melting together of sleazy riffs lathered in distortion and something altogether more tender" by DIY Mag. They have been compared to various artists, including MGMT, War On Drugs, King Creosote, Alabama Shakes, and even Harry Styles.
Their exploration of sound has captured the attention of discerning ears, earning them radio support from luminaries like Huw Stephens on BBC Radio 1, BBC Introducing Manchester, Radio X (including John Kennedy's X-Posure Hot One), XS Manchester's Shell Zenner, Amazing Radio UK, and the US, cementing Big Society as a force to be reckoned with in the indie-rock scene.
