Riviera Arcade are an indie-rock band, based in Bristol/Swindon whose original songs captivate audiences with powerful rhythms, infectious melodies and heartfelt lyrics. The band was born in May, 2021 during the Covid 19 pandemic with a line up consisting of George House-English (drums), Theo Hayes (bass/vocals) and Daniel James (guitar/vocals). After just three months together, with hard work, covid infections, popped ribs, alcohol poisonings, almost lost jobs, houseshare romances, urine stained sofas and an unmeasurable number of pop culture references, the band's debut album 'Gone By 10' was completed in August
Following Theo’s departure, a gruelling search for a new bassist ensued, eventually concluding with the addition of Osian Conn to the band, having recently graduated from BIMM in Bristol. With just a couple of whirlwind rehearsals, Riviera Arcade played their first gig at short notice and are now ready for an assault on the live music scene around the South West and beyond
