The Gospel + Dead Man’s Couch + Dogviolet

The Waiting Room, London Stoke Newington, London

THE GOSPEL

The Gospel are a cinematic goth band based in Manchester, infusing ornate arrangements with the vintage grittiness that oozes from the 1970s analogue synthesizers they use, their otherworldly music deftly traverses the void between Nick Cave and Goldfrapp.

DEAD MAN'S COUCH

Blending alt-rock edge with grunge grit, Dead Man's Couch deliver a sound that’s raw, loud, and unapologetically real.

DOGVIOLET

Dogviolet fuse post-punk grit, gothic atmosphere and folk-tinged melody into something intriguing and hard to look away from.

£12.10

Nuovo Testamento + TBC

Oslo, London 1a Amhurst Road, London

Nuovo Testamento is the Los Angeles & Bologna-based trio lighting up the dance floor with their uniquely dark italo disco-flavored pop hits. Following the release of the coldwave cult favorite Exposure EP in 2019 on Avant! Records, their widely acclaimed full length New Earth exploded onto the dance floor. Including instant synthpop staple “the Searcher,” alongside Hi-NRG homage “Michelle Michelle” and goth-tinged hits like “Golden Boy,” New Earth is widely considered across genres to be one of 2021’s best underground albums of the year.
