Empire of the Sun at the Fillmore

Empire of the Sun

Empire of the Sun is an Australian electronic music duo known for their eclectic and vibrant sounds, blending elements of synth-pop, new wave, and dance music. Formed in 2007, the group consists of Luke Steele of The Sleepy Jackson and Nick Littlemore of Pnau. They quickly gained a reputation for their theatrical live performances and elaborate costumes, which perfectly complement their otherworldly music style.

Influenced by the likes of David Bowie, Prince, and Kraftwerk, Empire of the Sun transports listeners to a fantastical realm through their lush, synth-heavy soundscapes and catchy melodies. Their music often evokes a sense of escapism, inviting audiences to step into their utopian universe where anything seems possible.

Some representative songs by Empire of the Sun include:

• “Walking on a Dream”: This track is perhaps their most iconic, with its dreamy synth lines and uplifting chorus. It’s a perfect introduction to their unique sound.
• “We Are the People”: A song that combines infectious hooks with an anthemic feel, highlighting the duo’s knack for crafting universal and emotive tunes.
• “Alive”: Known for its pulsating rhythm and euphoric vibe, this song captures the essence of their sound and energy that makes their music irresistible for dancing and celebration.
