BIO

Formed in 2022, Deutsche Fabrik is an electro synth pop duo consisting of Richard Smith (vocals) and Peter Greatorex (synthesisers).

Originally performing cover versions of 80s synth pop classics, they quickly established themselves as one of the finest bands around. Performing in the UK and abroad, their shows have been wowing audiences.

In 2024 they decided that the time was right to release their own compositions. Richard is a lyricist who has been playing guitar and singing in bands since the 80s, and Peter has been producing songs for many years. They have combined to produce something very special.
