British electro band Delphic supported Bloc Party in Helsinki

Manchester based Delphic are gathering a lot of hype around the world. They have been existing over a year now and already they have been supporting Bloc Party on their European tour and soon they will be releasing their debut full-lenght album.

Delphic mix electro with indie type of music making it sound fresh and interesting. They have been said to be the missing link between the Chemical Brothers and New Order, between Underworld and Muse.

Last February CityVice met three members of the band before their Bloc Party support show in Helsinki's Ice Arena. Matt, Richard and James turned out to be really nice blokes and even organized us six free tickets to that evening's show. So lots of love and respect from CityVice to the guys from Delphic. <3
