The Future Sound of Exeter       • • •       www.fsoe.org

The Future Sound of Exeter is a non-profit collective which promotes innovative local music, in particular the exotic and the electronic. We specialise in live music and put on big names as platforms for local support acts - as listed on our links page. Our nights are multi-facted 'events' rather than mere gigs, as we use projections, DJs and decor in the auditorium with more live music and DJs in the bar too.

The St David's Ambience Society is our original, less dancey, incarnation and the name of our label: SAS Records.

Hear The FSOE Show on Phonic FM: tune in to 106.8FM every Wednesday 6-8pm from 20 Feb — 12 March
