Press
“The evening commenced with Thought Thieves. A five-piece local band featuring live drums, pads, guitar, bass, and of course plenty of synth, they served up a guitar-driven New Wave sound. Lead singer Mike Johnson delivered powerful melodies in a voice reminiscent of New Order's Bernard Sumner—especially on "All I Pretend," a darkwave track with driving beats, in which Ariane Kokes's postindustrial synthscape provided a perfect counterpoint to Johnson's warm vocal presence.”
