Voice Farm
Voice Farm is a music and video collective based in San Francisco known for their outrageous live shows and videos. Vocalist Charly Brown and sound designer Myke Reilly form the core of the group. Voice Farm's musical style has evolved from their influential early 80's synth-pop sound into what they describe as "post totalitarian cinematic electro-pop". A fascination with popular culture and media continue to fuel Voice Farm's creative projects. Guitarist Ken Weller and back-up singer Marilynn Fowler are featured on the groups latest album, entitled Super Nova Experts (2009).
