Tickets are now available for REPUBLICA at The Garage!
REPUBLICA dominated the charts, radio, MTV, press, media, films, magazines and stages worldwide from the late 90’s with their iconic fiery frontwoman Saffron and their self dubbed ‘techno-pop, punk rock, electronica’ musical sound.
They were part of a new wave of strong female fronted bands including Garbage, No Doubt, Elastica, Hole and Skunk Anansie during the Britpop era. Touring the UK, writing, recording, producing and mixing all their own songs, they were signed by legendary label DeConstruction and by the Head of RCA in America. They toured the States relentlessly achieving huge success with their single ‘Ready To Go’ becoming a top ten US chart hit, appearing on the Conan O’Brien show and featuring in Rolling Stone magazine.
Returning to the UK and Europe where their debut album went Top 3, with appearances on Top of the Pops, TFi Friday, The Big Breakfast, This Morning etc. Headline slots followed at Glastonbury, V-Festival, Reading and Leeds, Phoenix Festival, T-In the Park, Roskilde, Rock Am Ring & Rock In Park, Pinkpop etc.
Achieving Multi Platinum sales of over 3 million albums globally, with No1’s in Mexico and Poland, Top 10s in UK, Spain, Russia, South America and the Eastern Bloc countries, they built up a huge live following with Saffron appearing in and on countless magazine covers including the Melody Maker cover four times.
Their anthemic hit singles ‘Ready To Go’ and ‘Drop Dead Gorgeous’ have appeared in over 300 films, adverts and TV series, becoming huge sports anthems. Legendary Horror movie director Wes Craven personally asked to use ‘Drop Dead Gorgeous’ in his movie ‘Scream’ which Republica played at the movie premiere in Hollywood. The song became and still is a huge gay anthem worldwide. Saffron has always supported the LBGTQ+ community headlining many Gay Prides every year.
