Folk Rock from Electric Fuchsia

Based between Milwaukee, Chicago and Dublin, Electric Fuchsia are a pop-focused indie rock outfit formed during the pandemic lockdowns of 2020. Originally started as a casual songwriting project between musicians Joe Kopecky and Socrates Kaitson, the longtime co-writers found themselves creating more and more material until they’d amassed a huge variety of songs.

As the project began to take form and flourish, the pair linked up with a former band mate in the Dublin-based lead guitarist Keith Banaszak. Now working as a trio across the Atlantic Ocean, they write and record their music working remotely from their own home studios to deliver their shared sonic vision.

Having previously worked together in the rock band Crete during their college years, gaining traction in Chicago and the surrounding areas, they went their separate ways to pursue other careers. Now reunited as Electric Fuchsia, they’ve made their introduction and bring us their debut single with the track titled “Grand Theft Heartache”.

With their first outing, they lay down a dazzling retro folk rock song full of warm acoustic instrumentation peppered with lightly gritty electric guitar and transportive lyrics that take you on a journey. Despite never being in the same room while recording, the band’s musical chemistry is clear and easily overcomes the distance between them on a stunning debut single of timeless songwriting and accomplished musicianship.
