Ro Nova

Club Orbit is a new quarterly night at Paper Dress Vintage in London, launched by Bad Apple Live and Ro Nova, with Ro Nova headlining and Vanity Fairy as special guest.

Ro Nova blends synthwave with forward-thinking pop, setting 80s nostalgia against ethereal vocals. The self-produced debut EP, Orbiting, was followed by support from BBC Radio 1 and BBC London. A collaboration with Schiller brought wider attention: their album Illuminate reached number one in Germany, and Ro Nova then joined Schiller on a second European tour that included the Uber Arena in Berlin. Recent appearances include The Great Escape and Scala, and a sold-out debut headline show at SJQ.

Vanity Fairy has been championed by BBC 6 Music and has drawn comparisons with Barry Gibb and Kate Bush for a shimmering falsetto. The second EP, Top of the Pops, released on Moshi Moshi Records, offers a playful take on kitsch pop and classic disco. Earlier support slots include Warmduscher, Katy J Pearson, Lime Garden and Girl Ray.

Club Orbit is a quarterly night devoted to 80s synthpop and electro, aimed at synth-driven acts and the audiences who follow them, with retro futurism as its starting point, moving between analogue nostalgia and space age fantasy. It is presented by Bad Apple Live and Ro Nova at Paper Dress Vintage, a Mare Street venue that mainly hosts pop, rock and indie concerts.
