Zanias Biography: (Fleisch records /Noiztank/ Candella Rising)

Zanias is a singer, performer, producer and DJ based in Berlin. She found her voice when she teamed up with Ryan Ambridge to form Linea Aspera, and later the band Keluar with Sid Lamar of Schwefelgelb. There she co-founded the body music record label ‘Fleisch’. In 2016 Zanias released her debut EP ‘To the Core’ on Vienna’s Noiztank label, followed by an EP of remixes by producers such as Dax J and Unhuman in 2017. Her live sets are a spectacle and catharsis led by an intense vocal performance, while in her DJ sets she expresses this emotive force in the form of evocative melodies intricately woven through industrial beats and EBM basslines.

Esprit D'Air + Diamond Black – Cardiff
2023-02-17 19:00 - 23:00
Esprit D’Air has just announced their new tour dates, which will kick off on 17 February 2023 in Cardiff, and will lead the band onto a 7-date journey across the UK, ending with a private party in London on 25 February for their Patreon members only.
Joining them on main support are dark goth rockers Diamond Black, fronted by Ben Christo of The Sisters of Mercy.
The award-winning band re-entered the Official Charts six times this year following their successful self-promoted tour of the UK in London, Newcastle, Glasgow, and Manchester.
Kai (Esprit D’Air) will be joined by session musicians Jan-Vincent Velazco (Pendragon, Gus G) on drums, Takeshi Tokunaga on bass, and Yusuke Okamoto on guitar.
Esprit D’Air’s most recent album, Oceans was released on 18 February. The album peaked in the Official Charts at #8 in the Rock and Metal Albums Chart and #5 in Independent Albums Breakers. The album includes collaborations with members of the iconic gothic rock group The Sisters of Mercy and Japanese metalcore band Crystal Lake, plus remixes by Heavygrinder, and Shirobon. The new album Oceans is receiving support and praise from Loudwire, Kerrang! Radio, as well as from members of Cradle of Filth, The Sisters of Mercy, and The Birthday Massacre.

“Catchy and atmospheric, with incredible vocals and an otherworldly guitar solo. What a song!”
– Richard Shaw, Cradle of Filth
“It’s a really unique blend of djent, industrial, electro, goth, emo, metal and much more. I love the dramatics and cinematic quality it has, with haunting, melancholy colors swooping betwixt the cruel, relentless jaws of the machine.”
– Ben Christo, The Sisters of Mercy
“Leviathan is a wonderful song, feels like a modern day opera with heavy guitars set on fire! Melancholic and haunting, the vocals cut deep. A truly inspired song.”
– Michael Falcore, The Birthday Massacre

Reformed in 2016, Esprit D’Air is a Japanese electronic rock/metal solo project led by vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and producer, Kai. In 2018, Esprit D’Air won ‘Best Metal Album‘ at The Independent Music Awards in New York, for the release of their debut album, Constellations, judged by an esteemed panel featuring Slayer, Amy Lee (Evanescence), Sepultura & more.
Kai is not seeking a major record label but instead, follows a strong DIY ethos and produces everything himself to be as self-sufficient as possible. Consequently, they record and produce their own releases in their own home recording studio, and book and promote their own shows.
Kai adds:
“The Oceans album took almost four years to create. My laptop containing all of my work-in-progress was stolen in 2019 and I had to start all over again from 2020. In the past two years, I worked hard and collaborated with awesome people to finish the album and we also have our fans to thank for crowdfunding it.”
The 20-track album Oceans is out now on Apple Music, Spotify & hmv.
Tickets are available here.

ABOUT US

Ritual Noise was started in 2011 by veteran DJs of Lancaster’s alternative music scene, SonofSam and McBain – out of a desire to showcase contemporary dancefloor friendly EBM and Industrial music with a heavy dose of Hard Dance and Hardstyle thrown in. We’ve put on regular events at Lancaster’s Park Hotel and Yorkshire House with guest DJs and live acts from across the UK. We play a wide range of genres under our umbrella of “alternative electronic music” – covering everything from dance floor friendly synthwave at early doors – to pounding gabber in the early hours! We’re not afraid of shameless floor fillers, cheese and cheeky bootlegs / remixes – and we try not to take ourselves too seriously!

▼▽▼▽▼▽▼▽▼▽▼▽▼▽▼▽

ABOUT THE VENUE

Kanteena is a 500m2 repurposed warehouse, in the centre of Lancaster. Now a bustling food court, bar, social space and venue, the collaborative, DIY spirit of it’s rebirth is signified by the acts, artists and events that we have hosted as well as those yet to come.Atika is Kanteena’s intimate 120 capacity upstairs venue with it’s own sound system and bar.(Please note the room is accessible by stairs only)We’ll be transforming the space with our own decor, lighting, UV and lasers!

DJ MCBAIN

Andy has been DJing Lancaster’s alternative scene since dinosaurs roamed the earth and started the Ritual Noise club nights in 2011 with partner in crime DJ SonofSam as a way to showcase the contemporary, club friendly sounds of EBM and Industrial Dance. Since then he’s kept himself busy playing various guest slots across the country including 3 appearances at the UK’s biggest Industrial / Alternative Electronic music gathering, Resistanz. He’s also a producer, mix engineer and member of Lancaster’s Industrial pop stars CYFERDYNE and in recent times has taken to streaming on Twitch (like every other DJ in the known universe)Andy has a penchant for shameless floorfillers, bootlegs, melodies and things that are probably too fast to dance to.

The Electric Ballroom began as a busy Irish club playing host to a wide variety of performers including the likes of Jim Reeves. In the past decades, acts such as Sid Vicious, Madness, The Clash, Richard Ashcroft, Snow Patrol, The Killers, Stereophonics, U2, Phil Lynott, The Boomtown Rats, Joy Division, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Public Enemy, Blur, Supergrass, Garbage and The Smiths have drawn huge crowds to the venue. The Ballroom has also hosts some of the best club nights in London from Ultimate Power, to Suicide Girls, Sin City, Section 8, and many, many more.

Zeitgeist Zero + Death Ingloria + Jan Doyle Band
2023-02-18 19:00 - 23:00 | The Vortex Bar and Nightclub, Wakefield, 8 King street, Wakefield, WF1 2SQ
Ethereal electronica and dark gothic sounds. An amazing audio visual experience brought to you by Leeds’ Zeitgeist Zero, London’s Death Ingloria and Doncaster’s Jan Doyle Band

Zeitgeist Zero’s sound is a combination of heavy guitars and industrial electronics. They are absolute juggernauts of the UK goth scene who have a brilliant following on social media and have played hundreds of shows throughout the UK and Europe. Their take on goth tends towards the heavier side and combines with a Deborah Harry/Shirley Manson like vocal. However, the vocal’s pop melodic sensibilities contrast the lyric’s darker themes.

Their unique music has received favourable press coverage, including BBC Radio 6, Sonic Seducer and Devolution. The band has built a loyal following leading to festival appearances at Wave Gotik Treffen, Infest, Whitby Goth Weekend and a headline appearance at Goth City Festival. Their last album, Ghosts of Victory, received huge critical acclaim and was lapped up aplenty by fans. Featuring such live classics as Pushed To The Edge and the more pop Don’t Pop My Bubble – they’re songs you just can’t get out of your head.

The band has worked with top music producers Steve Whitfield (The Cure), John Fryer (NIN) and John Rivers (The Specials). Their three albums and EP have met with international critical acclaim. ‘Dead To The World’ and ‘The Blackout’ were voted “Album of the Month” by popular German music magazine Dark Spy. Lead singer Teresa is also a graduate filmmaker responsible for the band’s video content. The music videos for Satanic Sex Witch and Plastic Diamonds received tens of thousands of views.

Death Ingloria explores Humanity’s depths, its heights, and its inevitable conclusions through rock music, comic art and animation.​

Death Ingloria’s albums are complete Science Fiction story told across songs, comic book pages and animated videos which play out during Death Ingloria’s performances. Each comic is the narration of the story, the songs the voices of the characters.

Death Ingloria played has Club Antichrist (the worlds largest Gothic fetish club), has been made into holograms to perform on two stages simultaneously cross London at The London Sci-fi Film Festival. They have performed at London’s historic 100 Club, hosted stages at Swansea Comic and Gaming Con, played London Anime and Gaming Con as well as supporting Sonic Boom Six, Johnny Dowd, Jimmy Gnecco, Senser and Italy’s Elegy of Madness.

New album Death Ingloria II: Death By Admin follows the demise of Humanity through the eyes of one lonely and disconnected young office worker as he accidentally destroys the world via a series of minor admin errors.

Jan Doyle Band weave and wind their own unique path through synthpop industrial goth and punk with a spectacularly engaging live show. Never content with repeating a sound they are always adventuring and moving forwards.

“A band half way to old school goth snagged on David, slipped in a puddle of glam; in a sense… The Clash on acid. PVC galore, glam metal hair & makeup for days.”

Club Velocity/New Mind presents Kristeen Young + Strange Cities
2023-02-22 20:00 - 23:00 | The Facebar, Reading, Chatham Street, Reading, RG1 7JE
Yves Tumor, Kate Bush, Diamanda Galas are all attempts to explain hard-to-describe, multi-genre artist, Kristeen Young. But, they are wrong. You can’t find a comparison because there isn’t one, and isn’t that a nice change? She plays piano/keyboard in a dissonant bashing style, sings using a wide range with operatic vocals, and her lyrics eviscerate in a playful way like an afternoon with a Victorian child ghost. You’ll be dead but you will have enjoyed your own life’s kill. And ….speaking of…..her new (self-produced) album, The Beauty Shop, is a song cycle based on the life of a serial killer, with each song also representing a different major emotion. “But, it’s really about how life kills our emotions,” she interjects. The album’s lived-in imagery originates from the beauty shop her foster/adopted mom had in a room in the little St. Louis house where she grew up. Besides the audio of the album, Kristeen has also shot and edited 6 song videos (herself) for The Beauty Shop and plans to release a visual version of the album in 2023. Never on a record label, or with management, continuously navigating on her own, Kristeen has always been the epitome of DIY. Shortly after arriving in New York (where she now resides) she met legendary producer, Tony Visconti, who brought David Bowie to one of her shows and ended up recording a duet with Kristeen (a song she wrote called Saviour). She also toured several times as Morrissey’s opening act. Dave Grohl discovered one of her songs on a mix tape and then contacted her….which lead to him to playing drums on her entire 2014 album, The Knife Shift. Nick Zinner (Yeahs Yeah Yeahs) was guitarist for her 2017 album, Live at The Witch’s Tit. Her first live show post-pandemic was Riot Fest, September 2021. Following by her own curated night at SxSW 2022. Since the June 2022 release of The Beauty Shop she’s been filling rooms in New York, San Francisco, St. Louis, London and Manchester…. touring on her own. She has a West Coast tour booked for early December 2022.

Strange Cities :San Francisco post punk band Strange Cities was formed from the ashes of several Bay Area bands. Featuring former members of In Letter Form, Murder of Lillies, NRVS LVRS, and Upstairs Downstairs. Drawing on influences such as Echo and the Bunnymen, The Chameleons, & JAMC, Strange Cities’ sound also reflects the foggy, jagged, industrial landscape that inspired their name. Whether stitching up pieces of a broken past or reflecting on an unknown future, their music skirts the fringe of noise and nihilism, melodic and melancholic, tragedies and trajectories. A post-post punk if you will.

With Daniel Nakazo Clark (vocals and guitar), James Levis (guitar), Clayton Vorheis (bass and vocals) and Dan Caporale (drums).

The band recently toured the western half of the US with Gene Loves Jezebel. On that tour they met Smiley, UK based producer and drummer for GLJ, The Alarm. Archive, Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros. Strange Cities will be heading to Fleet to work with Smiley at his studio, Sunshine Corner in Feb. , 2023 ,coinciding with their debut tour of the UK .

Kontravoid + Vigilance State + TBA
2023-02-25 19:30 - 23:00 | The Lubber Fiend, Newcastle Upon Tyne, 81 Blandford St, Newcastle upon Tyne
Swamp Booking announces the Winter 2023 shows of LA-based musician, producer & DJ KONTRAVOID ( @fleisch_berlin ), following an intense touring year in the US with artists such as Kris Baha, Mvtant, Lunacy & and a memorable performance at Substance Festival.

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.

There will be strictly no pressure !Our chosen charity is a cancer one and is down to personal illnesses and losses. I guess many of you will be aware of the tragic loss of Kathy of Manchester’s Rockers shop and Rock ‘n’ Roll Hellkat fame. Hopefully we can all make a small contribution to future prevention.Appropriately enough we’re going for the ‘Stand Up And Shout’ cancer charity of the late Ronnie James Dio.https://diocancerfund.org/donate/

Travel

Lancaster is readily accessible by car, bus and train as it’s just off the M6 (junctions 33, or 34) and has a West Coast train line primary station, but the trains do have a hugely annoying habit of finishing early on a Saturday evening.

Staying over?

In that case, what about staying over ? The Royal Kings Arms Hotel, the Crows Hotel and the Ibis are all very nearby and are good prices The Sun, The Royal, The Borough and the Toll House are also worth a look. Booking.com will give you a few more slightly further away, like the Holiday Inn and Premier Inn.

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” has been a fan favorite since it came out on Berlin’s Fleisch Records.

Onstage, Kontravoid demands the audience’s attention with his powerful performance that balances his specific concoction of harsh beats with his signature bass line rhythmic patterns. He’s toured alongside Boy Harsher, ADULT., Drab Majesty and Hide, and has remixed the likes of Schwefelgelb and Kris Baha. Truly a man of the shadows,Kontravoid is an unparalleled fixture in the dark electronic arena.

London-based Black Doldrums revisit the Northern Quarter after a stormer of a show for Deco Records last year. Originally a duo founded by Sophie Landers (drums) and Kevin Gibbard (guitar/vocals) they are now a fully fleshed out a trio with Matt Holt joining last year on bass,

Black Doldrums deal in a dark, shoegazing psych that melds gothic post-punk with a leather-clad rock’n’roll spirit.

2023-01-06 19:30 - 2023-01-07 02:00 | The Blue Moon, Cambridge, 2 Norfolk Street, Cambridge, CB1 2LF, United Kingdom
The year is 2023 – you’ve survived those final working days, the festive events, various meals, new years’ antics….. finally the Calling is here to get you back to the tunes that matter!

Note, there’s only a music license until 11pm, so get along in good time to have a dance – however the pub itself is open until 2 so there’s far more time to socialise.

Please bring cash along for donations to keep us going!

To everyone attending, if you can, please take a LFT before attending. We want to make this as safe as possible for everyone attending. Let’s work to keep everyone safe – and if you choose not to, please respect those wanting to social distance and wear masks.

Entrance is free but any donations are massively welcomed (will need to be in cash). They’ll be used to cover costs and split across the DJs, no plan for any profit, although that is always nice!

Sheep on Drugs + DELIVERANCE Industrial Club Aftershow
2023-03-09 08:00 - 23:00 | Legends-Edinburgh, 71 Cowgate, Edinburgh, EH1 1JW, United Kingdom
SHEEP ON DRUGS BIOGRAPHY:

Mocking pop culture and sneering at authority, the U.K. duo Sheep on Drugs began with the credo “sex is death, drugs are for sheep, buy the product.” Formed in 1990 by vocalist Duncan X (aka King Duncan) and multi-instrumentalist Dead Lee (aka Lee 303), Sheep on Drugs combined sleazy rock and trashy techno and released their first single, “Catch 22,” a year later. A grotesque cabaret-styled live show supported the release, and soon aggressive dancefloor singles like “Motorbike” and “15 Minutes of Fame” and “Track X” (later covered by Grace Jones as “Sex Drive”) All industrial and Ebm club favorites. They made their full-length debut in 1993 with ‘Greatest Hits’ on the Island label!

Later the duo formed its own label, Drug Squad, which released the EPs Suck and Strapped for Cash, both in 1995. Martin Atkins’ Invisible label would compile the EPs in 1996 as Double Trouble. A year later the new album One for the Money appeared on Invisible, but Duncan exited the band soon after the release. Lee experimented with the side project Bagman while a remix album (1997’s Never mind the Methadone) and a live album (1998’s Two for the Show) kept the Sheep on Drugs machine rolling. Duncan had become a famous tattoo artist in London by now, so when Lee contacted him for a reunion, Duncan agreed to contribute, but he was unable to join full-time. F**k from 2005 was the next release and it worked in more of the dance music Lee had been experimenting with in his Bagman project.

Throughout the years they released several more albums and EP’s, check out their Bandcamp for their impressive back catalogue!

These days the line up consists of original member Lee Fraser and Johnny Borden (Computers/Guitar/Keyboards/Vocals) & (Keyboards/Vocals) respectively.

Frontman Lee Fraser has an re-invigorated energy and emphasises “Sheep On Drugs were 30 years ahead of their time. That’s why Duncan’s old beard is in fashion now. But now I am ready for the hotseat. DastarrrdLee and Motley, that’s Johnny are going to blow your tiny minds. We’ll have some droogies to help, yet to be confirmed…Little Alex has grown up and gone to the side of good. He still likes the ultra-violence and the old in out in out. But now the ultraviolence is for the bad guys, the old in out in out is now for the ladies, for which Alexander the Great (that’s me Willy WonKy) is a Perfect Gentleman…”sheepondrugs.co.uk

Wolfgang Promotions Present the kind of night you would expect to find Noel Fielding at in London or Berlin:

Entry £8.50 OTD or Ticket £8.80 (with Booking fee)

Punk/Goth/EDM/Industrial/Electronica (This is Bat Country!)

TWIN NOIR – Two Punks and a tape machine, Vinyl Realise party in STBC record shop – TWIN NOIR, that‘s Cody Barcelona (Voice, Guitar, Sound) and Ian Volt (Voice, Bass).The two musicians are artists in the best sense. With TWIN NOIR they go all out: they plan nothing less than to conquer the entire (civilized) world with their sometimes dark, sometimes satirical-dadaistic, but always technoid-melodic sounds. „2 Punks and a Tape Machine“ is the name of their 11-song debut – and their credo.www.twinnoir.com

MATT HART – under the band, expect to hear beats of Industrial, Dark/Harsh Electro and EBM blended together all under the Wastelands of 3808 Man VS Machine, a narrative built on a concept of the year 3808, a post apocalyptic world where the last survivors of humanity fight for survival, against the machine overlords. Both the music and the aesthetic stand out on a stage and the energy brought to a live performance is outstanding. Blending an exquisite mix of the old gods of industrial the legends of harsh electro and the new gods of dark bass. Recently won the highly regarded German magazine Sonic Seducer Battle of the Bands competition (24/02/2022). This industrial artist from London, UK is set to bring you music you want to hear. As a DJ (for this performance) —- you’ll get similar musical genre sounds, definitely beats to make you move.https://matthart.bandcamp.com

ISONET – Solo electronica project from musician Thoby Davis formed off the back off live experimental electronica outfits ‘Triamethyst’ and ‘The DMT Experiment’. Isonet’s music covers a wide range of genres and approaches to music making, from live looping, drum machines, sequencers, synthesizers to live vocals and violin but often with a cinematic epic feel that seeks to inspire and uplift audiences and party goers alike. And with a largely improvised musical style Isonet can guarantee that no two performances will ever be the same…https://isonet.bandcamp.com

AESTHETIC PERFECTION is a 100% independent industrial pop project made up of Los Angeles-born, Austrian-based producer Daniel Graves and New York based drummer Joe Letz. Over a career spanning 20 years, six full-length albums, and numerous singles and music videos, Graves and crew have reinvented dark electro, combining industrial, pop, goth, and everything in between.

Despite flying under the radar of mainstream audiences for decades, AESTHETIC PERFECTION are no strangers to the music world; the band has clocked countless sold out dates on headlining tours across both Europe and North America. Their success on smaller stages prepared them for their most recent adventure: supporting Till Lindemann (RAMMSTEIN) on his debut tour for his Lindemann side project.

Adding that to their growing list of accolades, such as collaborating with the likes of Richard Z. Kruspe (RAMMSTEIN), Jinxx (BLACK VEIL BRIDES), Celldweller, Nikki Misery (NEW YEAR’S DAY), Sebastian Svalland (PAIN / LINDEMANN) as well as featuring tracks on Netflix original programming and the Underworld: Awakening soundtrack, AESTHETIC PERFECTION continue to poise themselves as a force to be reckoned with. With their most recent full-length album, Into the Black, under their belt, the band is ready to take the next step and spread the gospel of Industrial Pop to an ever-widening audience – with full rein of their creative output.

The instability of the music business in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic led to the launch of the “12 Singles in 12 Months” project in 2021.

IST IST: Manchester
2023-03-31 18:30 - 23:30 | O2 Ritz Manchester, Whitworth St W, Manchester, M1 5NQ, United Kingdom
Scruff of the Neck presents

Delivering a resolute punch with an acerbic sting in its tale, new single “Stamp You Out” sees the Manchester band return to the spotlight with commanding form and typically uncompromising style.

From its blistering post/punk guitar lines to its punishing percussives, “Stamp You Out” creates an impending atmosphere of anxiety throughout. With Adam Houghton’s trademark baritone vocal booming with all the force of an omnipotent autocrat at the lectern of a police state; it makes for a powerful statement of intent that instantly envelops listeners back into the shadow-strewn world of IST IST.

Speaking about “Stamp You Out”, Houghton says:

“[Stamp You Out] tips its hat to the previous IST IST where the modus operandi was to try and make an impact in the most forceful way; pounding drums and bass and repetitive lyrics. I remember watching a news report where a politician, whose name I forget, just kept saying: ‘we need to stamp this out’. I was thinking ‘we need to stamp you out’, so I wrote an aggressive fight song and a call to arms about it.”

The single is accompanied by an official video that sees the band deliver a voltaic performance of the track against a flurry of incandescent lights. Watch it here: https://youtu.be/5iHGzYCGHTk Of the video Keating adds:

“We felt like the track is a straightforward rock song which required a straightforward video and we didn’t want to over-embellish the visual aspect. For existing IST IST fans, it re-affirms what we’re all about, and for anyone new it tells you everything you need to know.”

The new single is also accompanied by the announcement of IST IST’s third studio album ‘Protagonists’, out 31 March 2022 via Kind Violence Records. After securing their status as one of Manchester’s most exciting acts with their 2020 debut ‘Architecture’, and then consolidating the title with its 2021 follow-up ‘The Art of Lying’; new album ‘Protagonists’ arrives as something of a new dawn for the four-piece. As Andy Keating says:

“This was our first straightforward album, which sounds strange given it’s the third one. Our first album was a little bit of a back catalogue, and the rest was written in the same vein to have a coherent record. The second album was a stab in the dark and written and recorded during lockdown restrictions, but it broke us into the top 100. ‘Protagonists’ feels like the first album where there’s no pressure.”

An album all about new beginnings, with a nod to the trials and tribulations of love, tricky family relationships and the feeling of being trapped by the past, ‘Protagonists’ arrives as an attestation to a band sure of their own identity. With the time and space to experiment in order to solidify their own sound, Keating adds:

“We originally started just exploring sounds and textures which appealed to us, and it evolved into fully-fledged songwriting. There are some elements which hark back to our ballsy days of a heavy sound, but we feel like this is a band expressing themselves how they want to.”

Owing its title to songwriter Adam Houghton’s magpie-like method of writing, ‘Protagonists’ finds the frontman taking prominent characters that have caught his imagination, whether fictional or non-fictional, and transplanting them into dystopian worlds with new and uncertain outcomes. As Hougton explains:

“My process has always been taking inspiration from everything around me including but not limited to TV, Books, Movies, Newspaper, Articles on Wikipedia, Crime Documentaries etc. I then use these sources to craft fictitious stories around an imagined persona. The title ‘Protagonists” seemed to work with this method.”

Blurring the lines between fact and fiction and traversing a broad spectrum of genres, tracks like “Nothing More Nothing Less” — a “simple love song written from a woman’s perspective” — take on a gauzy and ethereal pop-tinted quality, while slightly more menacing moments like “Fool’s Paradise” and “Trapdoors” find closer alignment with the band’s brooding, brazen rock roots.

From future favourites like “Something Has To Give”, a jittering guitar track about “a stick or twist situation”, to fully fitted-out classics like the anthemic “Emily” (a live fixture from the band’s earliest days, which has finally found its place on this record), ‘Protagonists’ will provide plenty to pore over for fans new and old.

Recorded and mixed by Michael Whalley and IST IST at Milkshed Studios, the album was mastered by the legendary Greg Calbi and Steve Fallone at Sterling Sound (The National, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol).

A compulsive, character-driven record from a band hitting their creative zenith, IST IST will release ‘Protagonists’ in Spring of 2023.

Genre-wise Swedish Agent Side Grinder has always existed in some kind of twilight zone. Deeply rooted in early electronic and industrial music as well as proto and post punk, their sound is driven by iterative, suggestive beats and sudden bursts of untamed ferocity — built on equal parts dissonant samples and elegant melodies.

Their upcoming album ‘Jack Vegas’, preceded by the single ‘Waiting Room’, will be out early 2023.

Bad Vibrations is delighted to welcome Black Doldrums to The Lexington on 14th April 2023.

Kevin Gibbard and Sophie Landers produce a dark psych, contemporary form of gothic post-punk under the name Black Doldrums.

Their songs contain hook and lead tribal drums and euphoric guitar textures that frame lyrics about purpose and introspection.

The duo have been building up a devout following since their self-released ep on a limited number of cassettes ‘Exit City Lights’ before their first official signing to independent shoegaze label Club AC30 in 2018, releasing two sold out vinyl ep’s in 2018 and 2019, ‘Sad Paradise’ and She ‘Divine’.

In 2020, Black Doldrums collaborated with electronic duo ‘TVL’s Jared Artaud, producing their debut album with grammy award winner Ted Young.

In early 2021 Black Doldrums recruited Matthew Holt on bass guitar and in March the same year, Black Doldrums signed to psych/post-punk giant Fuzz Club Records who released the band’s debut album ‘Dead Awake’ on 11th March 2022.

Delivering a resolute punch with an acerbic sting in its tale, new single “Stamp You Out” sees the Manchester band return to the spotlight with commanding form and typically uncompromising style.

From its blistering post/punk guitar lines to its punishing percussives, “Stamp You Out” creates an impending atmosphere of anxiety throughout. With Adam Houghton’s trademark baritone vocal booming with all the force of an omnipotent autocrat at the lectern of a police state; it makes for a powerful statement of intent that instantly envelops listeners back into the shadow-strewn world of IST IST.

Speaking about “Stamp You Out”, Houghton says:

“[Stamp You Out] tips its hat to the previous IST IST where the modus operandi was to try and make an impact in the most forceful way; pounding drums and bass and repetitive lyrics. I remember watching a news report where a politician, whose name I forget, just kept saying: ‘we need to stamp this out’. I was thinking ‘we need to stamp you out’, so I wrote an aggressive fight song and a call to arms about it.”

The single is accompanied by an official video that sees the band deliver a voltaic performance of the track against a flurry of incandescent lights. Watch it here: https://youtu.be/5iHGzYCGHTk Of the video Keating adds:

“We felt like the track is a straightforward rock song which required a straightforward video and we didn’t want to over-embellish the visual aspect. For existing IST IST fans, it re-affirms what we’re all about, and for anyone new it tells you everything you need to know.”

The new single is also accompanied by the announcement of IST IST’s third studio album ‘Protagonists’, out 31 March 2022 via Kind Violence Records. After securing their status as one of Manchester’s most exciting acts with their 2020 debut ‘Architecture’, and then consolidating the title with its 2021 follow-up ‘The Art of Lying’; new album ‘Protagonists’ arrives as something of a new dawn for the four-piece. As Andy Keating says:

“This was our first straightforward album, which sounds strange given it’s the third one. Our first album was a little bit of a back catalogue, and the rest was written in the same vein to have a coherent record. The second album was a stab in the dark and written and recorded during lockdown restrictions, but it broke us into the top 100. ‘Protagonists’ feels like the first album where there’s no pressure.”

An album all about new beginnings, with a nod to the trials and tribulations of love, tricky family relationships and the feeling of being trapped by the past, ‘Protagonists’ arrives as an attestation to a band sure of their own identity. With the time and space to experiment in order to solidify their own sound, Keating adds:

“We originally started just exploring sounds and textures which appealed to us, and it evolved into fully-fledged songwriting. There are some elements which hark back to our ballsy days of a heavy sound, but we feel like this is a band expressing themselves how they want to.”

Owing its title to songwriter Adam Houghton’s magpie-like method of writing, ‘Protagonists’ finds the frontman taking prominent characters that have caught his imagination, whether fictional or non-fictional, and transplanting them into dystopian worlds with new and uncertain outcomes. As Hougton explains:

“My process has always been taking inspiration from everything around me including but not limited to TV, Books, Movies, Newspaper, Articles on Wikipedia, Crime Documentaries etc. I then use these sources to craft fictitious stories around an imagined persona. The title ‘Protagonists” seemed to work with this method.”

Blurring the lines between fact and fiction and traversing a broad spectrum of genres, tracks like “Nothing More Nothing Less” — a “simple love song written from a woman’s perspective” — take on a gauzy and ethereal pop-tinted quality, while slightly more menacing moments like “Fool’s Paradise” and “Trapdoors” find closer alignment with the band’s brooding, brazen rock roots.

From future favourites like “Something Has To Give”, a jittering guitar track about “a stick or twist situation”, to fully fitted-out classics like the anthemic “Emily” (a live fixture from the band’s earliest days, which has finally found its place on this record), ‘Protagonists’ will provide plenty to pore over for fans new and old.

Recorded and mixed by Michael Whalley and IST IST at Milkshed Studios, the album was mastered by the legendary Greg Calbi and Steve Fallone at Sterling Sound (The National, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol).

A compulsive, character-driven record from a band hitting their creative zenith, IST IST will release ‘Protagonists’ in Spring of 2023.

Anne Marie Hurst was the backing vocalist for the Goth Rock group the Elements in Keighley UK (until 1982). In December 1982, she helped form Skeletal Family. After departing from Skeletal Family in 1985, she co-founded Ghost Dance with Gary Marx (formerly of The Sisters of Mercy). Ghost Dance released several indie chart hit singles through Karbon Records, which were later compiled on the ‘Gathering Dust’ album. In 1989 they signed to Chrysalis Records and released the ‘Stop The World’ album and two more singles, with ‘Down To The Wire’ peaking at no.66 in the UK singles chart.

In 2019 Anne Marie reformed Ghost Dance with ex Harlequyn members, Tim Walker, Phil Noble and Dave Wood, then in 2020, Stephen Derrig (formally of Original Sin) completed the line up and work commenced on a new album. Both Harlequyn and Original Sin had played several support gigs to the original Ghost Dance line-up in the late 80’s. The new single ‘Falling Down’ was released on Voltage Records in August 2021.

Support for the evening comes from THE VENUS FLY TRAP

With their emotive melodies, propulsive rhythms, angular guitars and dark cinematic electronics, TRAITRS have quickly become one of modern post-punk’s fastest rising independent bands. Consisting of Sean-Patrick Nolan and Shawn Tucker, TRAITRS formed during the summer of 2015 in Toronto, Ontario Canada. The duo recorded demos with producer/engineer Josh Korody (Nailbiter, F*cked Up, Japandroids, Dilly Dally), garnered the attention of Pleasence Records label head James Lindsay and released their debut cassette Rites And Ritual in April 2016. After gaining buzz in the European and North American dark music scenes, TRAITRS released their critically acclaimed LP Butcher’s Coin (Pleasence Records, Manic Depression Records, Alchera Visions) in May 2018. Backed by the strength of lead single ‘Thin Flesh’, the duo embarked on a series of lengthy tours overseas, performed in over a dozen countries including showcases at Wave Gothic Treffen, Castle Party, Extramuralhas, Nocturnal Culture Night, Wavefest, Canadian Music Week and Pop! Montreal. Their relentless touring schedule and work ethic caught the attention of Schubert Music Publishing’s Thomas Thyssen and Eric Burton, and in October 2020 they announced TRAITRS as the first signing to their brand-new record label Freakwave Records. This year, TRAITRS will release ‘The Sick, Tired And Ill’ EP on 30 July 2021 and the full-length LP ‘Horses In The Abattoir’ on 19 November 2021.
