Jaz Coleman: Unspeakable - A Spoken Word Tour
2024-03-20 19:00 - 22:00 (Europe/London) | Stoller Hall, Manchester, Hunts Bank, Manchester, M3 1DA
An artist of fierce intellect and purpose, Jaz Coleman –heads out across the UK in March 2024 -to tell it like it is – the UNSPEAKABLE truth in the world of Killing Joke.

Jaz Coleman– the celebrated musician; composer; producer; author; lecturer; traveller; philosopher; actor and Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres, was born on 26 February 1960 in Cheltenham to an English father and an Anglo-Indian mother of half-Bengali descent.

Coleman studied piano and violin under Eric Coleridge, head of music for Cheltenham College, until the age of 17, and was a member of several cathedral choirs in England before forming the iconic post-punk band Killing Joke

Since coming together in 1978, Killing Joke, combining a fierce intelligence with a thirst for esoteric knowledge that matches a music that is visceral and almost spiritual in its primal spirit, are like no other band. This is a group who came out of punk and then set out on one of the most remarkable and idiosyncratic journeys ever.

Killing Joke has played a pivotal role in both alternative music and culture; their influence has been enormous, with an unlikely roll-call of musicians taking their cues from the Killing Joke catalogue – from Nirvana to most modern American metal to many DJs and dance music mavericks… few, however, coming close to the band’s innate power.

The intensity of the band’s repertoire has long been revered by fans, peers and critics, and this continued to hold sway with their 16th and most recent, studio album, Pylon (Spinefarm Records, 2015), showing the original line-up at its potent, pointed best.

Killing Joke, for Coleman, is not his only outside activity: while fronting Killing Joke the mercurial Coleman has created a parallel classical career.

When Coleman briefly quit Killing Joke in 1982, he declared his intention to become a classical composer. A decade of studying and ongoing Killing Joke involvement later, Coleman commenced conducting and worked with some of the world’s leading orchestras. Conductor Klaus Tennstedt described him as a ‘new Mahler’.

Jaz Coleman’s latest classical album, released on 29th November 2019 ‘Magna Invocatio – a Gnostic Mass for choir and orchestra inspired by the sublime music of Killing Joke’ was recorded with Russia’s oldest orchestra, the St Petersburg Philharmonic. This stirring body of work taps into the more melodic, uplifting aspects of Killing Joke’s musical canon, using Coleman’s ongoing journey with this hugely influential UK outfit – something central to his being since later teenage years – as the consummate vehicle for a Gnostic Mass (a ritualised celebration of the mysteries of existence).

What we have here is a passion project recorded at a time of international tension and delivered against the odds – “13 digestible epics”, five with full chorus, ordered to be experienced in a single sitting, and conceived to appeal to those not generally engaged with the world of orchestral music.

Coleman’s first purely instrumental album, released 1990, is the exquisite ‘Songs from The Victorious City’, a collaboration with sometime Art Of Noise member Anne Dudley,

In 1995 Coleman then released his first of three albums of symphonic rock music: Us and Them: Symphonic Pink Floyd, which peaked at Number One in the Billboard Magazine Top Classical Crossover Album chart for 35 weeks. Kashmir: Symphonic Led Zeppelin produced by Coleman with the London Philharmonic Orchestra followed and in 1999 the third symphonic rock album Riders on the Storm: The Doors Concerto with The Prague Symphony Orchestra and Nigel Kennedy was released.

Coleman recorded and released Pacifica: Ambient Sketches (1996) with the New Zealand String Quartet and Oceania (1999) with Maori singer Hinewehi Mohi, before being commissioned by the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden London in 2001, for his first large-scale opera entitled The Marriage at Cana. Also, commissioned by the Royal Opera House was Coleman’s Unwanted, a concerto grosso for violin, viola and string orchestra whose theme portrays the plight of the Romany people.

Further works followed and in 2003, he completed a second work with Nigel Kennedy and the Kroke Trio, through EMI Classics. He then arranged the Sarah Brightman album Harem and wrote a further 12 arias to be recorded with her.

Performances have included his Symphonic Pink Floyd at the Berlin Konzerthaus for the 20th Anniversary of the fall of the Wall. Coleman also conducted the NSO Symphony Orchestra (UAE) for the opening ceremony of the Dubai World Cup, which was broadcast to 160 countries, and the Led Zeppelin Symphony performed by the Orchestra de la Suisse Romande in Geneva 2023.

In a time when the planet seems to be descending further into chaos, who better than Jaz Coleman to follow out of the darkness.

The Cassandra Complex + Zeitgeist Zero
2024-03-16 19:30 - 23:00 | The Black Bull, Gateshead, 2.Mulgrave Terrace, Gateshead, NE8 1PQ
The Cassandra Complex are coming to the dark side of the Tyne – at the Black Bull in Gateshead as part of a select few UK dates. This is a rare chance to see one of the most influential dark alternative bands in such an intimate setting, and the only North East date on this tour.

Originating in the mid-eighties, The Cassandra Complex swiftly garnered attention for their distinct fusion of electronics, post-punk aesthetics, guitar-driven soundscapes, and the commanding vocals of Rodney Orpheus. Tracks such as “Moscow Idaho,” “One Millionth Happy Customer,” and “The War Against Sleep” catapulted them to fame across Europe. Extensive tours solidified their position as one of the foremost post-punk bands of their time.

Rodney Orpheus has also worked in the field of music technology helping to create and promote much of the tech that musicians around the world use today, particularly VST (Virtual Studio Technology) which revolutionized the music industry. He has worked with artists as diverse as Kevin Godley (10cc, Godley & Creme), Sinead O’Connor, Sisters of Mercy, Die Krupps, and Future Sound of London.

Over the years, the band’s sound has included elements of EBM, industrial, goth rock, new wave and synthpop, and the band’s sound has been described as a blend of Joy Division, the Ramones and Kraftwerk

GRIFT has become a sought-after live artist, touring far and wide as an acoustic solo-performer.

These shows promise to be an emotionally exhausting, and hugely rewarding, unforgettable experience, and we are very excited to share them with you…..

CYGNOSIC (Dark Electro)

CYGNOSIC is a Greek electronic music project created by the musician and programmer, Georgios Psaroudakis. Hailing from Athens, Greece, Cygnosic’s music seamlessly blends various genres, including Dark Electro, Industrial and EBM. What sets Cygnosic apart is its unique fusion of melodic sounds with powerful death metal vocals. CYGNOSIC has performed on various European tours, including an exclusive UK tour and this upcoming performance at Beat:Cancer will mark his third appearance in the city.

Mechanical Vein (Drum & Bass/Industrial Bass)

Mechanical Vein’s flexes a truly unique take on bass music… a drum & bass core, with a furious blend of industrial / hip-hop / metal / midtempo influences.

Mechanical Vein has collaborated with other heavy hitters such as Zardonic, Sinister Souls, MORIS BLAK, Saltee, & Faderhead. He’s also the co-founder of HYBRID BLAK Records & a member of hybrid industrial bass act Biomechanimal.

Dead Happy: (Electro Metal)Dead happy don’t write songs, they conduct experiments. If frankenstein got into the music business the result would be dead happy. The mad man behind this eccentric abomination is professor partorius who utilizes elements from the likes of mindless self indulgence, system of a down and electric six among others.

Vaein: (Leather-clad electro)Vaein is dark, leather-clad electro out of east London. A deep voice broods along thick, throbbing basslines and pulsating beats, sounding like “Neil Tennant’s (Pet Shop Boys) evil twin”

After party 11-12.15am

Karkasaurus: This dinomite duo are bringing the industrial techno beats with a dash of their typical off the wall covers, remixes and bootlegs.bring to the decks lashings of insane tunes and terrible costumes

New Model Army – “Unbroken” Album & Tour 2024

We’re happy to announce that our 16th studio album ‘Unbroken’ will be released on 26th January 2024, accompanied by a first tour of Europe (including the UK).

We started writing the album in 2021 against a backdrop of everything that is happening in a fast-changing world and in our own lives, but of course the process was interrupted by the much delayed 40th Anniversary tour and the whole Sinfonia project. We decided early on that our number one choice to mix the album would be the legendary Tchad Blake who accepted, and who now says: “not much hits me as genuine these days. New Model Army hits it for me. Wonderfully recorded and produced by the band themselves, mixing this album felt like a gift.”Full of guitars, searing vocals and with the emphasis on bass and drums which characterizes all our work, Unbroken sounds a lot like New Model Army, but different again.

The album will be available as a single vinyl version in a gatefold sleeve – either black or a limited edition in opaque red, and the CD version will be in a hardback media-book.

Our past model of taking pre-orders and ‘special editions and bundles’ exclusively through Townsend has been rendered impractical by Brexit (we extend our apologies to everyone in the EU who had problems with the delivery of Sinfonia). Instead click here for a link which should take you to local sources: NEW MODEL ARMY – UNBROKEN PRE-ORDERS

The tour to go with the album will start at the end of February and run through the year. This first lot of shows are in Europe (including the UK) but we hope to visit many places that aren’t here later in the year. Tickets will be available from Friday 3rd November 2023.

FRANKIE ROSE • www.linktr.ee/FrankierosemusicLove As Projection is the new album by Frankie Rose, her fifth studio LP and second for Night School following the reissue of her interpretation of The Cure’s Seventeen Seconds. Frankie Rose has forged an enviable musical legacy, from playing with bands like Crystal Stilts and The Vivian Girls but on Love As Projection she takes a bold step into electronic pop production. A sumptuous recorded statement, it dances in ecstasy and broods on the tumult of the western world’s decay in equal proportion. At the heart of the album is glowing, confident songwriting, resplendent in hooks and choruses but still touched with an optimism undimmed.SRSQ • www.linktr.ee/SrsqSRSQ (pronounced seer-skew) is the moniker of singer, musician, and elemental force Kennedy Ashlyn. From foundational years as co-founder of visionary shoegaze duo Them Are Us Too (alongside the late, lamented Cash Askew) through her growing body of solo work on Dais Records, she has steadily honed her multi-octave range and moodswing songcraft into an increasingly potent poetic voice. 2019’s celebrated debut, Unreality, showcased a deepening gift for melodic dynamics and emotive exorcism – a mode she half-seriously coined “griefwave.” The album’s passionate response prompted extensive live dates, further sharpening her natural performative instincts.18+ event.A Gravy Train presentation.

Ghost Dance + In Isolation
2024-02-24 19:30 - 23:00 | The Pit, Newstead, Tilford Road, Newstead Village, NG15 0BN
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, with ‘Jessamine’ following in 2022. The new album ‘The Silent Shout’ is released on 5th May 2023 through Voltage Records / PHD and includes two previously unreleased Gary Marx compositions.

Opening will be a special In Isolation acoustic set.

This demonic goth duo was spawned in July 2017 with the birth of their debut single Dog Dias and have been leaving audiences stunned by their electrifying live performance aesthetic ever since. “we can guarantee you dark noise and a truly electronic experience, with the possible side-effect of being freaked out!” https://www.kanedarecords.com/holybraille

Drab Majesty + TBC
2024-02-08 19:00 - 23:00 | Chalk Venue Brighton, 13 Pool Valley, Brighton, BN1 1NJ, United Kingdom
The latest EP from Drab Majesty marks the start of a stirring new chapter in the band’s majestic legacy. Written during a 2021 retreat to the remote coastal Oregon town of Yachats, Deb Demure leaned into the neo-psychedelic resonance of a uniquely bowl-shaped 12-string Ovation acoustic/electric guitar. After early morning hikes in the rain, Deb would record ambient guitar experiments the rest of the day, tapping into “flow states,” letting the sound lead the way. These sessions were then refined or recreated, and later elevated further with key collaborations by Rachel Goswell (Slowdive), Justin Meldal-Johnson (Beck, M83, Air), and Ben Greenberg (Uniform, Circular Ruin Studio). An Object In Motion is true to its title, capturing the chrysalis moment of an artist evolving, reborn and untethered, silhouetted against an open horizon.

This is a 14+ event (under 18s must be accompanied by an adult)Presented by DM Generation.

2024-02-03 19:00 - 23:00 | The Parish, Huddersfield, The Old Courthouse, Queen Street, Huddersfield, HD1 2SP
Established in late 2014, IST IST have forged a formidable reputation on the back of uncompromisingly intense live shows and a fierce DIY work ethic. Releasing their debut album ‘Architecture’ in the midst of the pandemic on their own label Kind Violence Records, the LP found significant success in the indie, physical and vinyl charts.

Second album ‘The Art of Lying’ was released in November 2021, peaking at number 87 in the UK Top 100 and firmly establishing the band as one of the leading lights of a new era for music born in Manchester. The release was followed by a ten-date UK tour including sold out shows in Manchester, London and Bristol, as well as a string of sell-out European dates too.

The band released their much-anticipated third album, ‘Protagonists’ in 2023 to huge acclaim, performing to a sold out O2 Ritz in hometown Manchester on the same night. The album charted at an antagonising #41 in the UK album chart, before the group embarked on a huge UK and European tour with sold out shows across the board, including 700 cap Melkweg in Amsterdam.

IST IST return in 2024 off the back of a Live album recorded at that landmark Amsterdam show, with plenty more to come in their tenth year…

Once contenders for the mantle of Britain’s most self-conscious band — guilty, by their own admission, of pandering to audiences’ tastes following their move from Pompey to London — Hotel Lux have crafted an identity that is truly their own on their bold 2023 debut album ‘Hands Across The Creek’. The band’s classic influences — Dr Feelgood, The Stranglers, Ian Dury — meshed with the sounds of artists like Neil Young, Brian Eno and The Waterboys, and, in the end, Hotel Lux found themselves “doing the whole ‘haha, that’s what the fourth album will sound like’ thing” on their first, says Cam. They decamped to The Wirral, with Bill Ryder-Jones (The Coral, Arctic Monkeys) as multi-faceted influences, £20 Casio keyboards and marauding song structures fell into place. Lead single ‘Common Sense’ was inspired by the RMT strikes, trade union leader Mick Lynch, and the media’s treatment of Jeremy Corbyn. It’s a rhythmic anthem full of funk bass, machine gun snares and clattering guitars reminiscent of Television or Glasgow icons Orange Juice. It’s the band’s most euphoric and danceable single to date. With ‘Hands Across The Creek’ Hotel Lux look to become something their early critics might have not foreseen: a band full of confidence, with the ability to transcend their peers and carve out their own corner of British music tapestry.

Dlina VolnyJennifer TouchKK Verkefni

Live at Kazimier Stockroom on Wednesday 24th January 2024.

Swamp Booking proudly presents the UK/EU tour of Dlina Volny during January/February 2024 which will stretch great lengths across the continents in the winter months. The band will be performing new material and also performing the many loved hits of their previous releases on historic synth-wave label Italians Do It Better.

Dlina Volny ft will also be supported by Jennifer Touch on the majority of their tour who has also released several highly acclaimed records via UK label FatCat Records.

FFO: Desire, Chromatics, Italians Do It Better

Dlina Volny translates into the English word “Wavelength.” Their name is a homage to their fascination with sine waves & the physics of sound. The Belarusian trio’s sophomore album Dazed is a self-proclaimed “Love Thriller”. Mixed by Dean Hurley, frequent David Lynch collaborator & producer, the record is gorgeous. Elegant synthesis is flanked by the brut low end of the rhythm section. The instruments set the stage for contralto vocals that hover like a warm fog on a chilly night. Hurley is also the engineer who brought us Jorja Chalmers’ “Midnight Train” earlier this year, as well as remixes for Italians Do It Better flagship artists Desire & Chromatics.

On Dazed, Masha Zinevitch’s voice wails & pivots between Ales Shishlo’s assault of morse-code arpeggios & icy sheets of Vad Mikutski’s guitars. Dlina Volny’s music vaporizes on the event horizon where Eastern European Post-Punk collides with Western Synthwave. The album balances mystical narratives & dreamlike fantasies sourced deep in the trio’s subconscious. Walking the tightrope that separates pain & euphoria, the lyrics wrestle with polarity. Anxiety vs passion, & hope vs the deep despair that surrounds negative space.

Berlin artist Jennifer Touch returned with her second album MIDNIGHT PROPOSALS, released via Fat Cat Recordings 17th February. Showcasing her unique sound in the saturated world of electronica, J Touch successfully combines dark 80’s vintage synths with industrial soundscapes, delivered with a visceral post-punk snarl that is home on that dancefloor and off, as a live musician or in her DJ Sets. As a child, Touch was led to believe all the melodies in the world had already been used, rendering being a musician futile and pointless. Ignoring the bollocks, her desire for self-expression through music prevailed, and after the Berlin wall came down, her early musical tastes expanded beyond 80’s pop, later embracing the bleak and rough techno of Berlin’s burgeoning underground. Crucially, there were machines out there that would enable her own creations. You’ll rarely find an artist today so devoted to sound or as deeply immersed in the affective reverberation of old synths. She calls it Post-Wave-Cold-Pop-Acid-Romance, rubbing sonic shoulders with PJ Harvey, Tempers and Depeche Mode. Jennifer Touch is an artist on a journey, not afraid to share the intimate details on route to her destination, wherever that may be.

https://tarantella.sumupstore.com/

If there is any ‘on the door’ entry, the price will be £20 (cash only), so we strongly encourage you to get a ticket.

As always, these are e-tickets. You will NOT receive a physical ticket or a download ticket. You just need to turn up on the door where we’ll have your name on a list. If you are buying more than one ticket, they will all be in the name of the person paying for them, so if your guests are arriving separately, make sure they know whose name the ticket is in.

Should you find you cannot make it after buying a ticket, we unfortunately cannot accept refunds. If you want to sell/transfer tickets on to someone else, then there are a few rules to prevent fraud.1: Find someone who wants to buy your tickets and ask them for their email address.2: Send us an email from the address you used when you purchased your tickets, with how many tickets you want transferred and the name and email address of the buyer.3: We will change the names on our master list and then email confirmation to the buyer at the address givenDon’t send any money to the seller until you’ve received that confirmation email from us. Feel free to message one of us on here if you want to double check. There are always loads of scammers trying to trick people into buying fake tickets, so hopefully this will prevent anyone here getting conned. The deadline for doing this is midnight on the 28th December 2023. We cannot accept any changes after this time as we need time to make sure the correct list of names is on the door. There are no exceptions to this, sorry.

Trashville: Vanity Kills + Killing Miranda + The Pink Diamond Revue + Ruby Alexia
2023-12-30 20:00 - 2023-12-31 03:00 | Cart & Horses, London, 1 Maryland Point, London, E15 1PF
For this second Trashville we decided to go for a Pre-NYE party with an ALL STAR lineup of Bands, performers and DJ’s!!!WE ARE GOING BIG.

VANITY KILLS:Conceived in 2012, Vanity Kills is the semi-aborted brainchild of former Al B.Damned guitarist and musical nomad, Joe “Crow” Aaron. Rounded out by a revolving door of friends and mourners, Vanity Kills began as a way of exercising the small town demons that occupy the space between the ears of its founder.Musically, they incorporate sleek electronics, venomous vocal hooks and chainsaw guitar riffs to form the soundtrack to the cyberpunk horror flick world in which we now reside.https://officialvanitykills.bandcamp.com/

KILLING MIRANDA:We are exceptionally excited to have the band back for this exceptional event!The band was formed in London in 1998 to perform material originally recorded and released by Richard Pyne as a solo project and its initial line-up consisted of Richard Pyne (aka ‘Filthy Rikky’) on vocals and programming, Dave Irvine (aka ‘Irish Dave’) and Dave Turner (aka ‘Alien Dave’) on guitar, Chris Wareham (aka ‘Big Chris’) on bass and Belle on drums, programming and production.sadly Belle passed away in 2023. After a long Hiatus, the band reformed with Reuben (Stereo Juggernauts) on drums to pay homage to Bella at Belle Fest, and due to popular demand, they graciously accepted to play Trashville!!!

THE PINK DIAMOND REVUE:The Pink Diamond Revue similarly are a battle between humanity and somethingmore synthetic. Even the trademark ongoing onstage conflict-come-love-affair between guitarist Tim Lane and the mannequin Acid Dol takes on a sinister edge as he nudgesher askew with his guitar or adjusts her shades between tracks. Musically and visually too The Pink Diamond Revue are a constant war between a golden age of American rock’n’roll and a dark, dystopian future.https://www.thepinkdiamondrevue.com/

RUBY ALEXIA:No need to introduce the internationally published performer, model, actress and 50% of Trashville.Ruby will be performing a very special new act: Medical. Not for the faint of heart!!!And finally, to keep you dancing ALL NIGHT LONG: Vade Retro and Steve Nine, seasoned and renowned international DJ’s: Antichrist, Slimelight, Voodoo..They have done it all! Now for YOUR pleasure in Maryland at Trashville!!!Poster by the excellent Daniella Batsheva as always!

Dancing and Laughing presents: Aging and Aleing
2023-12-30 18:00 - 2023-12-31 00:00 | The Goodness Brewing Company, London, 5a Clarendon Yard, Coburg Rd, London, N22 6TZ
Dancing and Laughing founder, Nathan Nothing, likes to have birthday parties. Last year’s was an approximation of a Dancing and Laughing night (north London’s recent incarnation of Manchester’s old post-punk and synth night), but it was in south London, in the Distortion brewery. Now that Nathan has defected to north London, it’s time to do something for his new locality.

Yes! That’s right! It will be at the Goodness brewery, near Wood Green.

Delicious, fresh beer! Dancing, laughing and drinking indeed! You can order Yes! IPA in the emphatic style of fictional actor Steven Toast!

This time we will probably have no Dancing and Laughing regular DJ’s! We will have, in order of distance from the venue:

Gertrud Stein (Achtung Achtung!)Cavey Nik (Dead & Buried)Ali* (No Alternative, Bristol)

Post-punk, synthpop, dark indie and minimal wave (plus something else on playlists before 8pm).

The Goodness brewery is in Haringey, fairly close to Wood Green tube station, slightly further from Turnpike Lane, and easily accessed by popular bus routes such as the 41 or 67. They serve tasty pizzas, so come early to get your dinner before the dancing happens!

It is a birthday party but the brewery is open to anyone with an interest in the Dancing and Laughing night, or who just wants to drink some craft beer. Invite whoever you like!

Yes!

Sextile
2023-12-05 20:00 - 2023-12-06 00:00 | Dareshack, Bristol, Vintry Building, Wine Street, Bristol, BS1 2BD
SEXTILE ▾ sextile.bandcamp.comSupport TBA.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Tickets ▾ hdfst.uk/e95359━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Since emerging in 2015, Sextile have been a party-provoking force on the LA underground, capable of kicking up a riot with the raw-edged squall of a synth or the sharp-elbowed jerk of a guitar. Originally formed by Brady Keehn and Melissa Scaduto after the pair relocated from New York to LA, Sextile released their debut album A Thousand Hands in 2015, with its Grand Canyon-sized echoes, haunted screams, and post-punk invocations, before pushing synths further down the front with 2017 effort Albeit Living.Sextile’s taste for electronics matured on the throbbing EBM-meets-industrial pick-me-up of 2018’s 3 EP, cut from an analogue stash that included their trusted Korg MS-10 and LinnDrum, but the band put things on ice shortly after its release. Sextile guitarist, synth player, and original member Eddie Wuebben, who joined Sextile in 2015, tragically passed away in October 2019. Cameron Michel later re-joined on guitar and synths. Separately, they each turned their focus to other projects, with Scaduto on S. Product, Keehn on Panther Modern, and Michel as a visual artist. In 2022, the group reconnected and dropped their first new material in three years via the split single “Modern Weekend / Contortion” and “Crassy Mel”.Now they return refreshed, renewed, and ready to rage with a serotonin-boosting new album, a new group dynamic, faster BPMs, and an even wilder new direction. Recorded in Yucca Valley, Push bounces and bops at the fringes of hardcore dance music, with the hallmarks of drum & bass, gabber and trance illuminating the record like glowsticks at a ‘90s Fantazia rave. Push releases on September 15, 2023 on Sacred Bones Records.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━18+ event.Presented by DM Generation.

The Devil and the Universe + Dead Lights +Vanilla Sugar
2023-12-03 19:00 - 23:00 | The Lexington, London, 96-98 Pentonville Road N1 9JB, London, N1 9JB
DEVIL & THE UNIVERSE Biography:

Two cards selected from the 78-piece tarot card-set as utilised by the most famous occultist of the 20th century Aleister Crowley, were behind the first step. ”The Devil” and “The Universe” were the cards pulled that would prophesize a name for a musical-magical-transcendental composition & transformation project: THE DEVIL & THE UNIVERSE. The three goat masked musicians set out to create an eclectic blend of styles, sounds and atmospheres. Tribal drums meet 80’s electronica, industrial beats merge with middle eastern percussions, soundtrack like atmospheres conjure up dreams of a future that never was. A dance ritual for a future past. An exercise in trance for a past yet to come. Thus far they have released 6 albums and numerous Eps and singles.

www.thedevilandtheuniverse.com

DEAD LIGHTS BIOGRAPHY:

Glamgoth? Cyberelectro? Industrial Dance? DEAD LIGHTS presents all of these and more as they mould modern EBM into catchy songs with surgical precision. Bass-heavy, buzzing magnetism with pummeling, yet groovy, mechanical rhythms, delivered with an ’80s UK synth-pop flair and an urgency that is tangible.Founded in 2020, the international duo (UK and NL) immediately found themselves separated by the sea and a pandemic. Connected through a lust for dark electronic dance music, Saul and Richard still managed to make an impact with their output. Two years later they were finally able to meet in person and present their songs on stage. After their live premiere at Wave Gotik Treffen in 2022, they toured in Germany, the UK (with Zanias), and early 2023 they supported Front Line Assembly on 10 shows (EU), followed by several festival gigs in Europe.DEAD LIGHTS will release their new album ‘Glitterspit’ (Digi/CD/2LP on DarkTunes Music Group) on 13 October.

VANILLA SUGAR Biography:

A based Vanilla Sugar pushes the envelope of unprecedented sound. Her eclectic style blends melodic and growl vocals, synthesizer, guitars, heavy beats and savage drops.Vanilla Sugar is an experience that is both refreshingly unexpected and addictive.

2023-12-02 19:00 - 2023-12-03 02:00 | Lending Room, Leeds, 229 Woodhouse Lane, Leeds, LS2 3AP, United Kingdom
“Timeless and elegant”, RHOMBUS surely need no introduction. They’re promising a rejuvenated live set, with the return of a few old classics you won’t have heard for a while. This will be their first show with us since back in November 2021.

THE BLACK RIDERS CULT are also familiar faces. The trad goth rockers’ make a well-deserved step up to the “special guests” slot off the back of an ever-improving live show and back catalogue.

DHAMPYRES open proceedings with their Carpe debut. Musically toward the “rock” end of the goth spectrum (seven colours, all black), but with a polished sound, they should appeal to fans of the like of Gothzilla, Ghost, and Elusive. On stage 7:30, and their live show shouldn’t be missed!

CARPE NOCTUM is the biggest and longest-running regular goth club in the north of England. Our resident DJs HGV and Misrule boast a wealth of experience, with residencies at illustrious Leeds club nights such as Flock and Black Lodge under their belts, alongside guest appearances at clubs and festivals throughout the North, including repeat appearances at Goth City Festival, Tomorrow’s Ghosts, and Infest. Weaving sets from a broad palette of dark alternative genres and subgenres, fuelling and fuelled by the dancefloor, their ethos is that the party is all! Expect tracks old and new, bona-fide classics and hidden gems, foot-stompers and lightbulb-changers.https://www.facebook.com/Goth.Up.North/

THE LENDING ROOM is Leeds’ finest big small venue! With state-of-the-art lighting, PA and engineers, you can get up-close-and-personal with some of the best acts around today, and still sidle back to the bar in short order.

Dark Side of the Tyne: Witch of the East + Play/Dead + Noyvi Lef
2023-12-02 19:00 - 23:30 | The Black Bull, Gateshead, 2.Mulgrave Terrace, Gateshead, NE8 1PQ
Witch of the East:

Witch of the East’s music has been described as “the best ear movie valentine anyone has ever made for you, exploring light, dark, tension and release.” “The Queen of grungy aural occultism” with elements of Goth, alternative, Shoegaze and Dark Wave, This promises to be a very special live performance

Play/Dead:

Play/Dead have been described as one of the most underrated bands in the UK. Trying to label them doesn’t really do them justice, but if pressed to do so the closest I could probably get would be “covering a wide spectrum of industrial rock/metal with elements of darkwave and no-wave” – listen for yourself.

Noyvi Lef:

(it’s pronounced “No-Wee-Leff”)Taking their name from a 1920’s Soviet arts publication, NOVYI LEF (pronounced No-wee Leff) offer an angry, political take on electroclash, plying their trade in architectural punk via analogue synth screams and squeals. The result is a very striking cold electronic sound, almost similar to some aspects of NDW, and early 80s british synth music from the industrial north with a modern twist.

B-Movie + Dicepeople
2023-11-25 19:00 - 23:00 | The Angel Microbrewery, Nottingham, 7 Stoney Street, Nottingham, NG1 1LP
B-MOVIE BIOGRAPHY

BACK TO THE FUTUREPioneers of 80’s electronic music, B-Movie, released their first new material in 30 years during 2013 via the German imprint No Emb Blanc. A new EP entitled Distant Skies and the first ever album, The Age Of Illusion, recorded by the original line-up of the Mansfield four-piece, were released much to the delight of a very loyal fan base across the globe.

The recordings heralded an end to a silence of nearly three decades for the band, who released three critically-acclaimed singles, Remembrance Day, Marilyn Dreams, and Nowhere Girl, and one album, Forever Running, during their career.Echoes of B-Movie’s intensely melodic, post punk, synth-driven sound can be heard in many indie and dance acts of today: American electro-punk indie band, The Faint, reworked B-Movie’s Remembrance Day into Southern Belles in London Sing on their Wet From Birth album; and then B-Movie’s internationally most famous song, Nowhere Girl, was re-mixed by cult DJ Adam Freeland for the Warner Brothers album Future Retro. In 2000, UK music magazine Uncut released an album entitled, Dawn of Electronica, a tribute to the early innovators of electronic music, B-Movie were featured alongside Depeche Mode, Soft Cell, Art of Noise and Giorgio Moroder. The sleeve notes read: ‘B-Movie’s Remembrance Day, though it might not have stormed the top 40, was quintessential synth pop; the lugubrious vocals and heroic gravitas, the stabbing keyboard as rhythmic device and air of icy melodrama/melancholia.’

B-Movie have now recorded further new material in the form of a another album due in 2016, entitled Climate of Fear for US label Cleopatra Records. It could be described as ‘retrofuture’ given it both looks to the past but also has its feet firmly planted in the present day.

The band continue to tour, connecting with fans old and new, playing one off dates and festivals in the UK, Germany, Spain & Greece.

Zardonic + Witch Of The Vale
2023-11-19 19:00 - 23:00 | Zed Alley, Bristol, Host Street, Bristol, BS1 4UA, United Kingdom
Flag Promotions are proud once again to bring a new sound and fusion line up together with the masked performer known as Zardonic from Venezuela, he meshes the worlds of Drum and Bass and Heavy Metal together in a pioneering new way! Federico Ágreda Álvarez, known to the world as DJ and producer Zardonic, has harnessed the power of the nexus between Drum & Bass and Heavy Metal to create the sound that is now known as Metal & Bass. Born and raised in Venezuela, inspired by America, and based in Germany with a passport book stamped into oblivion, he also represents a union of cultures. In his music, these elements charge forward on a collision course towards a future without creative or spiritual borders. Instead, the award-winning artist draws an inimitable energy from this confluence. Following a prolific string of releases, high-profile remixes and video game collaborations, packed shows on multiple continents, and 100 million-plus streams, he realizes the power and potential of his vision like never before on his 2023 full-length offering Superstars [MNRK HEAVY]. “It’s been a long road trying to find the perfect flashpoint between the metal and electronic worlds,” and his journey is only just getting started!

Joining him will be Witch of the Vale who are Erin and Ryan, an unsettling electronic duo from the serene shores of Loch Lomond and the remote Outer Hebridean Isles. In December 2020, they released their debut album Commemorate with Cleopatra Records, available to stream and on CD and vinyl . They have also since been featured in the official movie soundtracks for Baphomet and Scavenger.

Erin and Ryan began creating music together after identifying a shared love of a particular style of dark, melodic and at times quite heavy industrial music which they felt was missing from the current scene. Having taught themselves how to record, mix and engineer their own unique sound, the first song they wrote together Trust the Pain would go on to be ranked one of the top electronic tracks of 2019 by The Electricity Club and amodelofcontrol and was later remixed by Leaether Strip and become a dancefloor favourite.

Their debut album released in December 2021 to critical acclaim, went on to reach number 1 both the gothic and the industrial music charts on BandCamp. Later they released more remixes and one of the most popular streamed tracks was Commemorate remixed by none other than Zardonic! And now they are very much looking forward to supporting him on his first UK Tour!

B-MOVIE BIOGRAPHY

BACK TO THE FUTUREPioneers of 80’s electronic music, B-Movie, released their first new material in 30 years during 2013 via the German imprint No Emb Blanc. A new EP entitled Distant Skies and the first ever album, The Age Of Illusion, recorded by the original line-up of the Mansfield four-piece, were released much to the delight of a very loyal fan base across the globe.

The recordings heralded an end to a silence of nearly three decades for the band, who released three critically-acclaimed singles, Remembrance Day, Marilyn Dreams, and Nowhere Girl, and one album, Forever Running, during their career.Echoes of B-Movie’s intensely melodic, post punk, synth-driven sound can be heard in many indie and dance acts of today: American electro-punk indie band, The Faint, reworked B-Movie’s Remembrance Day into Southern Belles in London Sing on their Wet From Birth album; and then B-Movie’s internationally most famous song, Nowhere Girl, was re-mixed by cult DJ Adam Freeland for the Warner Brothers album Future Retro. In 2000, UK music magazine Uncut released an album entitled, Dawn of Electronica, a tribute to the early innovators of electronic music, B-Movie were featured alongside Depeche Mode, Soft Cell, Art of Noise and Giorgio Moroder. The sleeve notes read: ‘B-Movie’s Remembrance Day, though it might not have stormed the top 40, was quintessential synth pop; the lugubrious vocals and heroic gravitas, the stabbing keyboard as rhythmic device and air of icy melodrama/melancholia.’

B-Movie have now recorded further new material in the form of a another album due in 2016, entitled Climate of Fear for US label Cleopatra Records. It could be described as ‘retrofuture’ given it both looks to the past but also has its feet firmly planted in the present day.

The band continue to tour, connecting with fans old and new, playing one off dates and festivals in the UK, Germany, Spain & Greece.
