Seoul-based shoegaze/indie band Lilly Eat Machine (@lillyeatmachine) are new to the scene but are already getting people excited.
Here they talk to us about their musical journey so far.

HOLY MOLY! It's...
WEDANCE
위댄스 Wedance
This enigmatic two-piece have been gone for way too long, but now, with a new album on the way, will be breaking the deadlock by performing on the HOLY MOLY! stage.
MARRAKECH
Realtive newcomers Marrakech made waves a few years ago with their exciting brand of house-inspired indie. They also have a new album on the way and this is the first chance to hear them play new music from it live!
ECHO AND THE MACHINE
Echo and The Machine
Quite possibly THE most underrated live band on the scene, Echo and the Machine, fuse psychedelia with electronic indie to make a cacophonous wall of incredible sound. Their live performances have so much energy. They're not to be missed.
