House & Garage Orchestra

An electronic concert at O2 Academy Leeds by House & Garage Orchestra, an act also credited under the names The House and Garage Orchestra.

House & Garage Orchestra is an electronic act whose name refers to two dance styles, house and garage. Its name joins two styles that share a steady, dance-led pulse. The project is also credited under the names The House and Garage Orchestra.

Both styles grew out of club culture, house in Chicago and garage in New York, from the late 1970s into the 1980s. Both are built on repeated four-to-the-floor rhythms, with synthesised and sampled sounds.

The concert takes place at O2 Academy Leeds, which hosts concerts and shows in Leeds, and suits listeners drawn to house and garage sounds.
