Male Tears + Death Drive + Strange Futures

The Lexington, London 96-98 Pentonville Road N1 9JB, London

Male Tears (US) is a Los Angeles-based three-piece weirdo-pop and dark synth project led by singer-songwriter James Edward. Formed in the aftermath of the pandemic, the band has quickly become a standout name in the modern darkwave and synth-pop underground, known for blending camp aesthetics, sharp emotional flair, and dance-floor melancholy.

The group first gained attention with their 2021 self-titled debut album, now considered a cult favorite for its fusion of glittery synth-pop nostalgia and melodramatic, tongue-in-cheek songwriting. They followed with Trauma Club (2021) and KRYPT (2023), a deeper dive into shadowy club textures and romantic gloom that solidified their […]

Twin Tribes + Denuit

The Dome, London 2a Dartmouth Park Hill, Tufnell Park, London

Twin Tribes was formed in 2017 in Brownsville, Texas, a border town with a unique cultural blend that subtly influences their music. Luis Navarro and Joel Niño Jr. bonded over their shared love of post-punk and darkwave, deciding to create music that paid homage to the brooding, atmospheric sounds of the 1980s while adding their own modern twist. Despite coming from a region not typically associated with the goth or darkwave scene, they carved out a niche and quickly gained recognition within underground circles.

Their DIY approach played a crucial role in their early success. They self-released their debut album, […]

Kontravoid + NUXX

MOTH Club, London Old Trades Hall, Valette Street, London

Presented by Club.The.Mammoth. & Night Terrors

Support from NUXX

Kontravoid’s masked mystique has remained for over a decade. Ever since the release of his self-titled LP in 2012, the Canadian-born, Los Angeles-based Cameron Findlay has perfected dark pop with his oeuvre that teeters between the EBM, electro and goth genres. His productions, such as 2019’s “Too Deep” and 2021’s “Faceless,” dive to the most derelict corners of foggy, strobe-lit clubs: there is no choice but to dance. But there is an uncanny softness and obvious songwriting ability to compose heart-wrenching songs that are both captivating and drenched in melancholy—2018’s “Undone” […]

Slash Need + The Mall

Quarry, Liverpool 17 Love Lane, Liverpool

Moonfrog and Quarry come together to present to you The Mall and Slash Need on 18.02.26

The Mall

The Mall is music for punks who dance. In the suburban wasteland of middle America, malls exist as decaying artifacts of conspicuous consumption–forgotten tombs haunted by the ghosts of capitalism’s failures. Using sequencers and analog synths, the Mall’s Mark Plant raises the dead to get glamorous amidst decay. Fusing the shimmering, plastic qualities of 80s dance electronica with the punishing, visceral energy of midwestern hardcore, the Mall soundtracks the liminal space between beauty and anger, celebration and cynicism, resilience and destruction. Performances […]

Corpus Delicti + Twisted Nerve

La Belle Angele, Edinburgh 11 Hastie's Cl, Edinburgh

Formed in Nice in 1992, Corpus Delicti quickly made their mark on gothic rock with their debut Twilight (1993), followed by two more genre-defining albums before disbanding in 1997. Their fusion of post-punk energy and dark melody earned international acclaim, a US tour, and a lasting cult following.

Over two decades later, their reputation has only grown: reissues on Cleopatra Records, praise from Postpunk.com, Ascension, and Sens Critique (which lists them among the 35 must-have gothic rock bands alongside Bauhaus, The Cure, and Joy Division), and a dedicated global fanbase keeping their legacy alive.
