Hard Light: The Scarlet House + Dots + Cheryl Holland + MHO + A Short Dark Stranger

The Fox & Newt, Leeds 9 Burley Street, Leeds

Hard Light are proud to present another night of dark electronica for March 2025!

Featuring our headline act (all the way from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne…)

The Scarlet Hour (10.10pm)

Synth-based darkwave duo The Scarlet Hour were formed in 2021 in the North East.

(Backseat Mafia)
“…an atmospheric misery-goth groove… impressively current and fresh” (The Goth / Post-Punk Revival Blog)
