Designer Magazine presents The Imogen Styles at the Dry Bar Mancester

Designer Magazine have THE IMOGEN STYLES headlining our Dry Bar Gig on Friday March 2nd... last time they played we described it as "an arena show in a basement venue - epic"

Top Of The Pops performance, complete with high energy electro synths, flashy retina-searing visuals, some serious pouting and a surplus of double hand claps.
Basically, imagine the opposite of an acoustic set. That's what THE IMOGEN STYLES are all about.

"I like pop with a punch", says wired frontman and song writer Christopher Dresden Styles. "I'm not much of a fan of subtlety. That isn't to say I can't appreciate the realm of the more understated pop song, but it's not what we want to do. We want to make pop music that feels like you've been slapped after you've heard it. We want to write pop songs like 'Blue Monday', or 'It's A Sin', or 'In For The Kill'. We want people so say "wow" after hearing one of our tracks. If we were being pigeonholed, I suppose you could call us 'Exclamation Pop'. If you must."
Fronting the band alongside CDS is Syma - like the very best pop stars, she needs only one name. Imagine the impossibly charismatic lovechild of Madonna and Debbie Harry, with a commanding off-kilter vocal similar to Deborah Evans-Strickland meets a baritone Sarah Nixey. That's Syma.

The following review of their recent headline show at Manchester’s famous Dry Bar in December 2011 sums the whole package up perfectly:
"Imagine if the Pet Shop Boys were fronted by Jarvis Cocker, with Chris Lowe reincarnated as a sassy bitch".

You can't argue with that.

The same gig was also described by the experienced venue promoter as "amazing" and "like an arena show", and that they'd seen nothing like it "in seven years of putting on live music".
