Dreamcicle: The Story
Dreamcicle was born in the neon glow of suburban nostalgia, in the heart of Asheville, North Carolina—a city known for its creative spirit and mountain views. The seven members, all born in the early 2000s, grew up on the sounds of their parents’ record collections: A-ha, Erasure, Book of Love, Pet Shop Boys, and the shimmering synths of the 1980s. Their parents’ stories of mixtapes, VHS movie nights, and late-night radio inspired them to chase the magic of a decade they never lived through.

How They Met:
The band’s origin traces back to a college open mic night at a cozy Asheville coffeehouse, “The Velvet Bean.” The singer/keyboardist, Jules, posted a flier on the campus board: “Looking for dreamers who love synths, harmonies, and the 80s.” The flier, decorated with hand-drawn cassette tapes and pastel colors, caught the eyes of Maya (drummer), Leo (bassist), Cass (guitarist), and Rowan (keyboardist/producer). They met for coffee, bonded over their favorite retro tracks, and decided to jam in Maya’s parents’ garage, which was already half-filled with vintage keyboards and VHS tapes.

Where They Practice:
Dreamcicle practices in a converted attic studio above Maya’s family’s craftsman house, just outside downtown Asheville. The space is filled with string lights, old movie posters, and a wall of synthesizers. Sometimes, they project 80s movies—like “The Breakfast Club” or “Blade Runner”—on a white sheet as they rehearse, letting the visuals inspire their sound.

Local Reviews
Asheville Indie Pulse:
“Dreamcicle is a synth-pop fever dream, channeling the best of the 80s with a modern twist. Their harmonies shimmer, their synths soar, and their live shows—complete with movie projections—are pure nostalgia magic.”

Blue Ridge Beat:
“Five young musicians, one shared obsession with the past. Dreamcicle’s debut EP is a love letter to the 80s, but their energy is all their own. Don’t miss their next show at The Orange Peel.”

Mountain Sound Online:
“Dreamcicle’s lush synths and heartfelt lyrics make you want to dance and dream at the same time. Their harmonies are tight, and their stage presence is electric.”
