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!

New Model Army
2023-12-08 18:30 - 22:00 | Rock City, Nottingham, 8 Talbot street, Nottingham, NG1 5GG, United Kingdom
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.

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.

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.

DICEPEOPLE Short bio:Dicepeople is a dark electro band from London consisting of Zmora (vocals) and Matt Brock (music).

So it’s November, you’re not ready to let Mariah Carey out of her gift wrapped box just yet, and all the Halloween events were over weeks ago, what’s a goth in Sheffield to do?..

Come celebrate our 2nd birthday out in the real world! Cryptid Queers began as a digital drag show over Lockdown in August of 2020 and had it’s first IRL show in the form of an immersive cabaret night in DINA’s basement in November of 2021.

This November, legends of the goth scene DJ Kohl and DJ L8N will be providing the soundscape for our final party of the year.

We will again be spotlighting rising monster talent alongside our main cast of some of the biggest names on the UK monster scene.

We returns to Bal Fashions on Saturday November 18th with guest DJ’s playing their own special blend of cyber, goth, industrial, and old school floor fillers in the main room til 3am with two killer floor shows of some of the best alt drag around with alternative 80s, trad goth, and post-punk in the bar.

Vision Video
2023-11-08 19:30 - 23:00 | The Prince Albert, Brighton, 48 Trafalgar St, Brighton, BN1 4ED
In 2021 Vision Video released their debut LP, Inked in Red, which told the story of lead singer Dusty Gannon (aka TikTok’s “Goth Dad”) and the darkness he saw as a soldier in Afghanistan. This story continues with 2022’s Haunted Hours, which explores Dusty’s experience as a firefighter and paramedic during one of the darkest times in recent history. Working on the frontlines of a deadly pandemic immediately after leaving the horrors of war transformed Dusty’s songwriting resulting in a more accessible album as the subject matter has touched us all.

The theme of Haunted Hours is most clearly illustrated in the lead single “Beautiful Day to Die.” Musically, the track is light and airy with a clear ‘80s Brit Pop influence. Of the lyrics Dusty explains: “I wrote this song about how I had to become friends with the concept of mortality because I was around it so regularly. The shock of seeing bodies becomes more pedestrian, and you’re even able to see beauty in some situations; like when families come together over loss, or the stories people will tell you about the deceased.” Dusty’s real-life experience is again the driving force behind the record, imparting both an authenticity and passion unique to Vision Video’s sound.

Not content to just tell his own story this time around, Dusty draws from the experiences of Vision Video’s new legion of fans, or “Baby Bats,” as they are known in TikTok circles. This new, empathetic approach to writing is fully realized in the title track “Haunted Hours” which channels the true story of a fan’s husband’s untimely passing that was transformed into arguably the most accessible, yet meaningful song the band has written. Dusty reflected on this track – “I wanted to capture the ache of loss, the weight of memory and the appreciation of memory all at once.” This sentiment is realized through the melody of an incredibly catchy chorus that captures loss wrapped in beauty.

The story of Haunted Hours would be incomplete without a discussion of the Goth Dad phenomenon. After experiencing so much pain and suffering first-hand, Dusty threw himself into a character he created on social media to help others deal with their pain, be it the loss we all share from the pandemic, or accepting yourself for who you truly are no matter what other people think. This fervent leverage of the time lockdown provided has been the story of Vision Video, the band used this opportunity to create, build a following, and reach out to the world, letting them know they are not alone. The message resonated, leading to over 600k followers across social media platforms.

Goth Dad is now part of the band, and the love and support provided by the Baby Bats has let the band flourish. Vision Video made a tough decision to not sign to a label and control their own destiny. The Baby Bats have provided the support to make an independent Vision Video successful, allowing them to make another record on their own terms, and the band is forever grateful

‘My people. Behold the return of IAMX back in full glory for touring in 2023. I need you there. All the sweat, all the tears. Bring it!’ – Chris Corner, IAMX

Androgynous and visceral, IAMX has morphed from a small-town blue-collar kid into an international pop star, that disrupts gender and genre. Fuelling electronic experimentation with punk energy and confessional lyricism, Corner’s alternative electronic sound, fashion, persona, and performances are larger than life.

Sneaker Pimps was founded in 1994 in Hartlepool by Liam Howe and Chris Corner, with the group gaining recognition for its hits ‘Spin Spin Sugar’ and ‘6 underground’. After multiple studio albums, the band took a lengthy hiatus in 2005, to then be revived again in 2016 with a multitude of contributing musicians.

Widely known as the Helsinki Vampires, the quintet gained several platinum albums with »Blessed Be« and »Paris Kills« and not only reached #1 of the single and album charts in their home country of Finland, but also plunged the world into a sinful cosmos of love, death and melancholy, while outliving any other band emerging from the goth hype of the early 2000s

Support act Anzi Destruction is a Finnish rock musician. He is known for his energic and wild live shows that feature fire breathing. He was the lead singer of Stereo Junks! Prior to joining Stereo Junks! he played guitar in the glam/punk band Plastic Tears. Now an accomplished artist in his own right blending rock, punk and glam, Anzi will get this party started with a bang

2023-10-28 20:00 - 23:30 | The Angel Microbrewery, Nottingham, 7 Stoney Street, Nottingham, NG1 1LP
Glitterskull Promotions are back fresh from the our very first ‘Goth Is What You Make It’ event and this time we are collaborating with Follow Your Hertz to bring you a goth inspired Halloween showcase called ‘Halloween Is What You Make It’ with bands and alternative drag performances from the residents of Nottingham’s queer alternative DirtyFilthySexy plus music until 2am.

ATTRITIONATTRITION are pioneers in a darker electronica. Formed in 1980 in Coventry, England, influenced by a mix of punk ideology and experimental art aesthetics, they emerged as part of the early ’80’s UK Industrial scene alongside contemporaries Coil, Test Department, Legendary Pink Dots, In The Nursery, Portion Control et al.Founder Martin Bowes has steered the band through a 43 year career, fuelled by a succession of critically acclaimed albums…selling over 100,000 to date.

The band has regularly toured Europe, North America and South America, Russia and Asia, appeared at major festivals and had their music included on a number of TV and film soundtracks….

Through their career Attrition have worked with musicians as diverse as psychedelic veterans The Legendary Pink Dot’s to punk legend TV Smith to Franck Dematteis of the Paris Opera.

ST LUCIFERManchester (UK) based St Lucifer are 40% trans, 40% non-binary, 20% Post Human and 100% Queer. An expansive sound best described as a “heady cocktail of Alt/Pop/Electro/Punk/Noise”, from the breakout self-titled 2016 LP through to the incoming 4th album Disgraceland – a 40-minute odyssey of thrilling noise that is already delighting live audiences.

Having defined their sound as ‘blackmetalgaydisco’ (a semi tongue-in-cheek shorthand for their unique blend of electro-punk/anti-pop – aided and abetted by forays into dreampop, post-rock, drone metal and, on occasion, outright noise) and over the years their sound has very much been a combination of evolution and revolution.

“We’re having an 80s Disco”. It’s a blood-chilling phrase – and not in a good spooky way either.

But before you start picturing a sea of leg warmers and neon Poundland accessories dancing to Wham! I should warn you that this is a…slightly different 80s night.

Wham! are out, Wah! are in. The only Black Lace will be on our gloves. We’ll be playing an all-80s night of the full spectrum of “alternative nite” classics. From synth-pop and 2-Tone to goth and jangly indie and various random detours along the way.

The Mission will be appearing in October at:

Nottingham Rock City on Tuesday 24th

Glasgow SWG3 TV Studio on Wednesday 25th

Manchester 02 Ritz on Thursday 26th

Wayne says of the new dates: “It was always going to make sense that we finish up this world tour on home turf, back where we started all those months ago. We’ll be looking forward to it, I’m sure, and I’m particularly looking forward to the Roundhouse show myself, having never played at that venerable venue previously where so many greats have played. I’m sure it’ll be an emotional and epic night. As will all the dates. It is great to go around the world and play to different audiences from different cultures and we have enjoyed some wonderful experiences doing so over the last year, with tons more to come I’m hoping in Europe in the Spring and North America in early Autumn, but there is nothing quite like playing to our home crowd and understanding the barracking they give us. When I understand what they’re shouting at us I can reply in kind, unlike in foreign climes where I just assume everybody is shouting ‘we love you, Wayne!’ Perhaps they’re not but that’s how I prefer to understand it. All joking aside I can’t think of a better way to finish this chapter of the band’s story than playing these UK shows, and to end it at the Roundhouse somehow seems fitting.”

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. He also hates writing about himself in the third person.

DJ MYTHOZ

Our newest recruit – this young whippersnapper is all about hands in the air sounds and LOTS of beats per minute!

Club Velocity/New Mind Promotions presents: The March Violets
2023-10-26 19:00 - 23:00
October 7th 2022 marks the digital release of the Walk into the Sun 7” (unavailable since the 80’s). The perfect time to announce The March Violets reunion!

Since the last March Violets tour in 2015 we’ve been shocked at how many musical friends have passed over and out. And after Simon Denbigh’s life-changing stroke, it’s no surprise we all thought that was it for the Violets.

When, in 2021, Jungle Records released Big Soul Kiss (The BBC Sessions double album) for Record Store Day 2021 it sold out its entire pressing in 24 hours. We were amazed at the response, absolutely amazed. We faced a choice – to fade away quietly or go out with a celebration.

We feel for Simon, and honour his massive artistic contribution & intense vision as one of The March Violets founding members. He’s irreplaceable, so we’re not going to try. We believe the legacy of The March Violets deserves a far better conclusion than sinking into silence, and now is the right time to do it.

There are many surprises to come. For the first time The March Violets are releasing our full back catalogue, with worldwide distribution via Jungle Records.

Founder-members Rosie Garland and Tom Ashton are joined again by William Faith (musician and vocalist with Faith & the Muse, Conflict and The Bellwether Syndicate) and we are excited to be back in the studio creating brand new material & planning live dates for 2023- 2024.

Our luckiest number! We’ve been going thirteen whole years and we want you to come celebrate with us. As ever, we’ll have cake for the early birds, and sweets scattered around the place. And speaking of sweetness, we have the wonderful BONZAI BONNER of Shoot Your Shot and Lezzer Quest fame joining us. They’ve been with us from our first year in Nice ‘n’ Sleazy, and we’ve been supporting their nights for a good nine years now ourselves, so it only feels right to celebrate this special anniversary with them.

DARK HART – A Night Of Gothic And Dark Music

Featuring

Westenra (The only goth band from the legendary Whitby, the home of Whitby Goth Festival), plus supports Play/Dead & Dimension Breakers.

WESTENRA

Melodic Gothic Rock from Whitby. Luciferia (vocals), Karl (guitar) and Dominique (bass) create dark & emotional, yet uplifting & danceable songs that will appeal to fans of Siouxsie & The Banshees, Fields of The Nephilim, Within Temptation and Evanescence.

Since exploding onto the UK goth scene in 2019 ::WESTENRA:: have been building a reputation for captivating live performances of their stylish and atmospheric sound. Their debut album “First Light” was released in January 2021 to rave reviews, followed by a cover version of the Cliff Richard classic “Devil Woman” in March 2022 – a taster for the new, bigger sound featured on the four track EP “BREATHE” which was released in July 2022. Their version of Iron Maiden’s “Number of The Beast” – originally meant as an exclusive live performance to celebrate their headlining the WhitbyKrampus Run Ball – was released in February 2023, with proceeds going to the Whitby Krampus Run chosen charities.

May 2022 saw Whitby Abbey invite the band to perform within its grounds as part of their celebrations for the 125th anniversary of the novel Dracula – this generated substantial national and international exposure for the band, with the area that they preformed in front of now known as “The ::WESTENRA:: Arches”.

2023 will be another exciting year for ::WESTENRA:: as they will be releasing new material ahead of playing the prestigious TOMORROW’S GHOSTS FESTIVAL in Whitby in October, supportinggothic rock superstars THE MISSION.

PLAY/DEAD

Recently reviewed as one of the most underrated bands in the North East with a style impossible to pigeonhole. Industrial, alternative, heavy, dark, synth, rock and metal are but a few adjectives employed to describe the sound of the creative duo that is PLAY/DEAD. Roy Mc – an accomplished classical composer, writer and musical oddity.

And Mr Rochester – a self-styled and innovative provocateur, create scores which delve deep in humanities more carnal ruminations. Part autobiographical, part concept PLAY/DEAD explore love, hate, death, religion, desire, greed, control, submission and everything else lurking in the cracks in between.

PLAY/DEAD have released two full length studio albums. Suicide, Rock & Roll (2018) and Subliminal Messages (2022) Their music is a journey of symbolism, introspection and contemplation. Know for volatile, punk rock level live performances, wit and satire there isn’t anything else out there quite like PLAY/DEAD. Fans of Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, Rammstein and Marilyn Manson will not be disappointed.

DIMENSION BREAKERS

Dimension Breakers are a fusion of revolutionary music and controversial facts of human existence. Each band member has a wide musical background that makes this band one of its kind. Our goal is to deliver unique piece of art, unforgettable experiences of our performances and make people aware of the true value of life.

We wish both listeners and musicians stop supporting abusive practices of streaming platforms, and start supporting hard working artists who do their best to bring joy to their fans.
