Laced with an icy synth, The 1975 provide cool indie pop with an edge of rock in their dance-y guitar riffs and melodic vocals. On tour with their freshman album out now, these Manchester lads are out to hit the big time, having already appeared on NPR, Fuse, VH1, and are currently vying for BBC's Teen Awards. It's hard not to imagine these guys winning, but with their youthful energy, talent and fresh faces, the world is already theirs for the taking. Tonight, these guys are here at the Observatory for tricks and treats.
