Aidan Cross
Singer / Songwriter

"Cross swings between the flamboyant flares of Bowie and Bolan, whilst shining from the shadows of kohl-eyed goth-rock, combined with the magic realism of esoteric cabaret. He’s a real debonair dream-maker, a talented singer/songwriter that radiates from the flourishing art of experimentation and all things avant-garde. Like a graduate straight from a post-Bauhaus School of art, Cross is a great advocate of freedom of expression, that challenges pre-conceptions and redefines and reunites cinema and art."

​

Aidan Cross is a singer-songwriter, guitarist and keyboardist based in Northwest England, known predominantly as lead singer with the Art Rock band Weimar.

​

After a brief acting career in the mid-00s, Aidan formed the post-punk band The Bacillus in late 2008. The Bacillus released the album "I Can't Adapt To This Prison You Call Society"in 2011 before going their separate ways.

​

Following the dissolution of The Bacillus, Aidan began collaborating with multi-instrumentalist Johann Kloos, leading to the formation of the experimental act The Bus Pass in 2013 with Brian Benson on drums.

​

After a stint playing guitar for Black Light Mutants aside a string of shows with The Bus Pass, Aidan and Johann's sonic experiments led to the formation of more crystallized songs, which were fully realized with the evolution of the band into the collective Weimar (named in honour of the German Weimar Republic of the 1920s and its subversive art and cabaret), with John Armstrong on bass and Anthony 'Eddy' Edwards on drums. Weimar made its debut on the live circuit in late 2016, and in 2022 released the album "Dancing On A Volcano" to widspread critical acclaim.

​

Aidan has also collaborated on the side with numerous artists including The Junta, Ian Moss, Class Actions, The Rev Terry Rice and Conrad McQueen of The Last Of The Fallen Angels.
