SUMMARY:Fiat Lux + Promenade Cinema + HaHa Hats
DESCRIPTION:The Seventh Wave presents… \n\n\n\nFiat Lux \n\n\n\nFiat Lux have enjoyed an incredible renaissance since they reformed. \n\n\n\nTheir “comeback” single “It’s You” was voted one of the “Best Songs Of The Decade” by The Electricity Club; Universal Music digitally re-released all their Polydor 80’s back catalogue following the success of the remake “Secrets 2017” and Cherry Red Records made a well selling retrospective CD boxset of their Polydor years: “Hired History Plus”. \n\n\n\nThe latest album on 9 x 9 records\, “Desire & Belief”\, follows up their recent studio LPs “Saved Symmetry” and “Twisted Culture” (No12 in The Electric Cafe’s Best Of 2021). Expect excerpts from them\, plus a hearty helping of their 80’s classics. \n\n\n\nPromenade Cinema \n\n\n\nPromenade Cinema create cinematic synthpop with dark allure and melodic intensity. Lush synths and compelling vocals build songs that stay with you long after they end. Their music draws you into a world of shadow and splendour\, where emotion and atmosphere take centre stage.Refined\, evocative\, and unforgettable. \n\n\n\nHaHa Hats \n\n\n\nDrawing inspiration from the Ian Dury\, Gary Numan\, and a touch of Nick Cave\, their songs combine quirky storytelling\, vintage synths\, and unpredictable energy. \n\n\n\nHaHa Hats have spent years crafting their distinctive sound from a homemade shed studio. With five albums\, five EPs\, and six new singles from the Lost Poperty series\, the band continues to grow its audience and reputation. \n\n\n\nTheir live shows are equally unpredictable\, featuring a rotating cast of guest musicians and a healthy dose of creative chaos. With HaHa Hats\, every performance is a surprise-and that’s exactly the point!

SUMMARY:Test Dept + Bruise Blood
DESCRIPTION:The Seventh Wave presents… \n\n\n\nTest Dept \n\n\n\nFormed in London in the early 1980s\, Test Dept are regarded as one of the pioneering forces of ‘industrial music’\, recognised for their groundbreaking sound and powerful performances that pushed the boundaries of music\, art and protest while exploring political and social issues. \n\n\n\nCentred around the founding duo of Paul Jamrozy and Gray Cunnington since resurfacing in the mid-2010s\, the group recently signed to the Artoffact label and have started to issue a series of carefully curated box sets along with a brand new album targeted for 2026. \n\n\n\nTest Dept continue to break down barriers and are sonic material handlers\, investigative agitators\, authentic industrialists\, utilisers and recyclers of society’s debris. They engage with the current cultural and political climate\, exploring new ways of expression in a strategic programme of actions\, and are needed now\, more than ever! \n\n\n\nBruise Blood \n\n\n\nBRUISE BLOOD is artist and musician Mike Bourne\, founder member of Teeth of the Sea and Hirvikolari. \n\n\n\nBRUISE BLOOD channels the frequencies of forgotten epochs and future crimes into a singular\, dissonant hymn.

SUMMARY:Cabaret Voltaire + Gazelle Twin
DESCRIPTION:Stephen ‘Mal’ Mallinder and Chris Watson have announced details of their Final UK Tour\, starting on 10 October 2026 at Birmingham Town Hall and finishing at the Sheffield Octagon on 25 October\, with Gazelle Twin confirmed as special guest across all the dates. \n\n\n\nThese dates follow news of this year’s highly anticipated sold-out tour\, which marks 50 years since the live launch of one of Britain’s most influential electronic bands\, Cabaret Voltaire\, at the Sheffield Students Union Refectory on 13 May 1975. \n\n\n\nTalking about the newly announced dates\, Stephen Mallinder\, says: “What a wonderful opportunity to go round the block one more time and share that with one of the most unique and spectacular artists we know. The connective tissue between ourselves\, our history\, and the world Gazelle Twin now conjures up\, will be out there and shared with people. It seems like a special\, magical moment. ”Composer\, producer\, and performance artist Elizabeth Bernholz\, aka Gazelle Twin\, will be special guest across the tour: “Pinch me. Go on. I’m feeling excessively lucky at the prospect of touring with Cabaret Voltaire in 2026. They are electronic music pioneers\, but also the loveliest\, kindest folk in music that I could ever hope to share the stage with. \n\n\n\nIn the current climate of social turmoil and political manipulation\, the prescient work of Cabaret Voltaire continues to be necessary. The sounds\, words\, images and films of the band still resonate loudly\, continuing to challenge the status quo. The events in 2025 and 2026 will curate this essential work and to acknowledge the timeless energy and to mark the continuing significance and power of what Cabaret Voltaire achieved. Original members Chris Watson and Stephen Mallinder are committed to stay true to the enduring vision of Cabaret Voltaire. The performance will cover the arc of their formidable output – from early experiments\, and the first Rough Trade / Factory releases\, through the band’s Doublevision video label and into the work with renowned producers such as Adrian Sherwood and Marshall Jefferson. Stephen Mallinder explains\, “The live set is built from scratch but faithful to the original tracks. Everything has been painstakingly reconstructed with the original technology and processes to build the tracks. But as with all Cabs live shows there is an element of unpredictable\, the new. Chance meets causality.”
