SUMMARY:Massive Ego + Dead Lights + Larva + The Silent Era
DESCRIPTION:Stigmata Presents The Symphony Of Flies UK TourMASSIVE EGO UK – 30th Anniversary Dates!DEAD LIGHTS (UK)LARVA (Spain) THE SILENT ERA (UK) \n\n\n\nMASSIVE EGO Biography: Formed in 1996\, UK synth-pop/electronic darkwave act Massive Ego emerged from the short-lived New Romantic revival known as Romo\, attracting early critical attention with a favourable live review in Melody Maker. Across a three-decade career marked by frequent line-up changes\, including members such as Dan Black (The Servant/Planet Funk) and Dean Bright (Dead Or Alive)\, the band has maintained a strong presence on the European alternative circuit\, appearing at festivals including Wave-Gotik-Treffen\, M’era Luna\, Amphi\, Infest\, and Whitby Goth Weekend\, alongside extensive touring throughout the UK and mainland Europe. Difficult to categorise stylistically\, Massive Ego combine confrontational lyricism with a striking visual identity\, epitomised by vocalist Marc Massive’s performative aesthetic\, earning them adevoted underground following. Releases such as Noise In The Machine (2014) and the albums Beautiful Suicide and Church for the Malfunctioned signalled a shift toward a darker and more abrasive sonic palette. In 2024\, guitarist Porl Young (Rosetta Stone) joined the long-standing core line-up.Throughout 2025\, Massive Ego unveiled four singles from their forthcoming new album. Their current single features guest vocals from Boy George alongside a remix from current dark scene favourites\, Actors\, signalling an especially significant period for the band as they navigate 2026\, reaffirming their enduring capacity for reinvention within the margins of electronic music culture. \n\n\n\nWith the announcement of their first-ever headline UK tour\, and new album\, Symphony Of Flies\, out on 8th May through Out Of Line Music\, it marks a high-profile 30th-anniversary year. \n\n\n\nDEAD LIGHTS Short Biography:Glamgoth? Dark Electro? Industrial Cyberfunk? Disguised as dark\, sleazy synthpop\, DEAD LIGHTS create their own personal blend of monumental synth bass lines and gritty sounds\, elaborate vocal arrangements and brutal\, dance-orientated beats. Founded in 2020\, the international duo Saul (UK) and Richard (NL) have defined their own style\, combining elements of glam\, goth and industrial with a modern\, personal twist. Their energetic live performance has brought them to many international venues and festivals. DEAD LIGHTS: progressive EBM for the 21st century. \n\n\n\nTHE SILENT ERA Short Biography: Distorted\, cinematic and intensely emotionalalt-rock from London. Touching on goth\, industrial\, shoegaze and post-punk.”….a remarkable band making extraordinary music.” – The Big Takeover“This album is extraordinary and defies easycategorization…”

SUMMARY:The Spiritual Bat + Kee + Liight
DESCRIPTION:I’m Not From London presents… \n\n\n\nA dark night of gothic nu-wave and post punk with more than a passing nod to Italy. Do not miss this… \n\n\n\n★ THE SPIRITUAL BAT \n\n\n\n* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * \n\n\n\nOne of few European bands in the scene that has carried out several coast-to-coast tours in the USA. The Spiritual Bat is based in Italy and has performed at several festivals in Europe\, such as WGT\, Whitby Goth Weekend\, Return To The Batcave\, Gotham Sounds\, Castle Party. The project evolves from “The Spiritual BatS” (plural)\, conceived in 1992 and features artwork by the Alchemisti Painters. \n\n\n\n★ KEE. \n\n\n\n* * * * * * ​Kee. What or who are they? Interesting question. There is not too much information out there about this band\, which I imagine is how they like it. Here is what I do know\,: they are an alternative psychedelic electro collective from Nottingham who have been described as “Portishead on steroids”\, not a bad description to be honest. ​ \n\n\n\nTheir latest track “Sound” is heavy on atmosphere with an air of mystique and intrigue. The lead vocalist has an enchanting and mesmerising singing style. Her voice is soulful with a dark rock undercurrent and a hint of macabre cabaret thrown in for good measure. On this track her voice sounds like a heady concoction of Beth Gibbons\, PJ Harvey and vintage Bjork. Kee’s signature sound is almost impossible to classify and that’s what makes it so damn satisfying and entertaining. This is electronic music with enough darkness and intrigue that alternative rock fans can easily get on board with. I cannot stop listening to this track and this is testament to how good this exciting and ground breaking new band really is. ​ \n\n\n\n– Lisa Knight – Accidental Music Reviewer \n\n\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/kee.band \n\n\n\n★ LIIGHT \n\n\n\n* * * * * * * * * Coldwave from nottingham. Our new EP “Self Destruct” is out now on all streaming platforms. ​linktr.ee/liight_band ​linktr.ee/liight_band

SUMMARY:The Sisters Of Mercy + TBC
DESCRIPTION:Top-notch rock’n’roll psychedelia with a punk edge. At their peak in the mid 80s they stimulated sales of black hair dye and crimpers like no band before or since. The Sisters of Mercy achieved early underground success after forming in Leeds in 1980. They had their commercial breakthrough in the mid-1980s and released three studio albums\, including their last studio album Vision Thing in 1990. This was followed by the compilation albums Some Girls Wander By Mistake and A Slight Case Of Overbombing in 1992 and 1993 respectively\, and the band have been touring ever since.
