about
Astral Pattern is a London based band formed in early 2013. After the split of their previous band S.C.U.M, Astral Pattern (Huw Webb, Melissa Rigby and Bradley Baker) coalesced at the beginning of 2013 after a inspiring trip to Düsseldorf to see their favourite band Kraftwerk play a homecoming show. Their first track Sitting In The Sun taken from the Light Poems EP debuted on The Guardian website in June 2013.
