The Goth Calendar

Drab Majesty + TBC
2024-02-01 19:00 - 23:00 (Europe/London) | Fabric, London, 77A Charterhouse Street, London, EC1M 6HJ
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.

2024-02-01 19:00 - 23:00 | The Craufurd Arms, Milton Keynes, 59 Stratford Road, Milton Keynes, MK12 5LT, United Kingdom
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…

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Jaz Coleman: Unspeakable - A Spoken Word Tour
2024-03-20 19:00 - 22:00 | 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.

CANCELLED IAmImperfect + Hands Of Industry
2024-03-28 19:00 - 23:00 | The Hallamshire Hotel, Sheffield, 182 West Street, Sheffield, S1 4ET,
IAmImperfect are back for another Single Release party! After their sold out event in February, they has so much fun so they want to do it all again!

IAmImperfect are a Synthpop Industrial Goth duo hailing from Sheffield. Since their debut on Ravenspurgh Goth Festival stream opening for Byronic Sex & Exile in Leeds, and In The Midwint3r Festival in Sheffield, IAI have been turning heads with their sophisticated soundscapes, pulsating rhythms, soaring guitar riffs and rich vocal hooks. For fans of Aesthetic Perfection, Solar Fake and Depeche Mode. https://linktr.ee/iamimperfect

Hands Of Industry have welded their influences of 90s dance music with 80s synth and dark wave to create their own unique and modern sound. Drawing favourable comparisons with the likes of New Order, Depeche Mode and The Sisters of Mercy, the band describe their music as “Dark Dance” – a fusion of driving acoustic drums, catchy synth hooks and samples that provide an imposing and atmospheric backdrop to the dark vocals and lyrical content. This is the electronic sound of 21st Century Britain.

The Hallamshire Hotel is in the Sheffield City Centre on West Street, about a mile from the train station. The venue is wheelchair NOT accessible as live room is upstairs and there is no lift

This line-up toured the East Coast of the USA in 2018.

LAST DUSKLast Dusk is a Goth Rock band from San Jose, Costa Rica.Founded in 2010 by bassit and singer Carfax Haddo, from the needof keeping the flame of the genre alive in a moment that there was nogoth bands at all in their country. It started as studio only project theneverything developed into a live band being the first Costa RicanGoth Rock band to play abroad.

SCHRODINGERSchrödinger combines cold and chaotic vocal feelings with a range of guitars and synthesizers that support a dense and monotonous atmosphere, which decays to the threshold of the current romantic and melancholic darkness.

Reptile 16th Anniversary : Grendel + Die Kur + Ventenner
2024-04-06 19:00 - 2024-04-07 02:00 | 229, London, 229 Great Portland Street, London, W1B 1PF
Somehow we’re still here in 2024, celebrating 16 years of highs, lows and navigating the ever-changing landscape of London’s nightlife.

GRENDEL

Officially formed in 2000 by JD Tucker, Grendel was quickly picked up by the legendary German label NoiTekk (a subdivision of Black Rain Records), upon hearing their first promo CD. This promo included the club hit “Strangers” and, after additional production & mastering, would become their 2001 debut studio album, “Inhumane Amusement”.

After a year of touring & studio work, the “End Of Ages” EP was released and soon became a staple track for DJs world wide. This was shortly followed up in 2003, by the second full length album “Prescription Medicide” album, which saw the band truly entering the limelight, becoming album of the month in many magazines such as Orkus & Zillo, reach top 5 positions in prominent underground charts, including Deutsch Alternative Charts and number 1 for several months in the Dutch Underground Charts. With the success of this album, the band did extensive touring throughout Europe & North America.

In 2005 Grendel released their now classic “Soilbleed” EP, of which the title track is to this day an unmissable club hit worldwide. This release marked a true milestone in the band’s career and saw them touring larger stages throughout Europe, reaching a far greater audience, and topping alternative & sales charts. The EP was re-released in 2006 as “Soilbleed Redux” and featured additional material, such as a cover of Leaether Strip’s “Don’t Tame Your Soul”, “One.Eight.Zero” and a remix by New York artists Life Cried.

In the meantime, Grendel started working on their third full length album, entitled “Harsh Generation”. This was to become one of the most important & influential albums for the contemporary industrial & Electronic Body Music movement, marking new territory and a more matured sound & style. After it’s release in 2007, it remained on top positions of alternative charts, such as the DAC, GEWC, DUC for maximum periods of time. To this day, this is also an unmissable part of any industrial/ebm DJs arsenal. Due to the success of this album, Grendel spent the following years touring extensively & intensively worldwide, drawing increasingly larger audiences.Eventually, in 2009, the “Chemicals + Circuitry” EP was written & recorded. This turned out to be a slight diversion from the band’s familiar sound, but received much praise and again reached top positions in the charts (DAC, GEWC, DUC, etc.), with the title track quickly becoming a favourite amongst DJ’s and listens alike.

This success would prompt a rework of the song on their following album, “Timewave Zero”, in 2012. Although returning to a more familiar sound, it would take on influences from a variety of contemporary dance music, such as trance, electro and house. This, again, would mark a big milestone in the band’s progress, branching out from familiar ground and reaching a wider audience. Much praise was given for this and it would gain not only top chart positions, but also high sales.

And most recently, in 2012, Grendel released the “Timewave : Zero” album. This album is both a return to their signature sound and taking on various influences from contemporary EDM styles, such as Trance, Complex Electro and House. All of this together has created the most mature Grendel sound to date and has gained highly positive feedback from both fans and media, scoring top positions in the DAC, GEWC, mail order sales charts and more. In the years that followed, Grendel toured extensively on the success of this album in both Europe & North America.

During this period, JD moved to the UK in order to pursue various endeavors & career moves, where he became heavily influenced by the rich music, art and fashion culture of London. This resulted in a more refined and mature style, both musically and visually, incorporating his love for both contemporary and old school music of various genres.

After much hard work, October 2017 marked the release of the eagerly awaited album, “Age Of The Disposable Body”. Not only did this album offer a rich palet of sounds & styles, but also a huge step forward vocally and lyrically, marking a new chapter in Grendel’s evolution. This album focussed on the contemporary political situation in both Europe & North America, regarding populist politics & the cult of personality. It also saw guitarist Emanuelle Trinci involved in the creative process and guest appearance by Seamus Bradd of The.Invalid. The album received critical acclaim & praise from both fans and press alike and reached top 5 positions in both sales & DJ charts.

Live..PSYDOLL(from TOKYO/JAPAN)“Ｊ-CyberPunk shock for you-// Cyberpunk + Industrial + Goth + Deathrock x Manga = PSYDOLL”Military, commercial, and household robots currently produced and sold by general companies such as S@NY, Yotsubishi, Matsugami Electric Works, Tachi, and Sasoyo are usually called DOLL, whereas PSYDOLL ( Psycho -Doll) refers to illegal robots that have been manufactured or modified without permission for other purposes.Since DOLL products are closely related to human life and can pose a threat to human life in the event of a problem, their safety standards are set at an excessively high level in developed countries. It is provided.On the other hand, PSYDOLLs that have been illegally manufactured or modified are not only questionable about their safety, but also have the potential to lead to serious accidents (in fact, just under 30% of fatal accidents in Japan last year involved PSYDOLLs ) . Although the government is dealing with severe punishment for bootlegging or modifying PSYDOLLs, cheap PSYDOLLs using cheap parts from Asian countries satisfy personal tastes. The illegally modified PSYDOLLs , the underground production of PSYDOLLs, and the street sales of PSYDOLLs continue unabated.PSYDOLLs are to be reported as soon as they are discovered, captured, and disposed of.Several specific models of PSYDOLL are wanted, and posters similar to those of fugitives from extremist or religious groups have been posted at key points in police boxes, stations, and airports.It is quite easy to replace the face and body parts of PSYDOLL itself, but many of the PSYDOLLs that are being arranged have specific personalities and tastes built into their files, so many of them are not original. They don’t really like changing their faces, age, or gender settings, and many of them continue to run away by disguising themselves or using false names as if they were human criminals.In addition, even if the company name, type, etc., and model version are official, problems are later discovered with the model or lot, and even though a recall order has been issued, the company is reluctant to recall or destroy it and somehow avoids it. The robot being ordered is sometimes referred to as a PSYDOLL .Live-Psydoll +The Brickyard, Carlisle. July 15, 2005BBC Web England Cumbria Review by Robbo“Then I’ll show you something completely different.”As the Monty Python announcer says in the first place, Psydoll is just that.It was something completely different.You might think it’s just another three-piece rock band, but one of them is a woman…And all the members are Japanese! What on earth is going on here?And then it started…a crunching, crashing, electronic heavy metal sound.Soundtrack for a series of late-night manga corners. It’s J-pop from the Nine Inch Nails generation.Dressed in a head-to-toe cosplay dress, Kaname’s cute Neoki clutches a microphone along with a portable keyboard and sings in unforgettable fashion.The lyrics flowing over the audience are all in Japanese, but that doesn’t really matter.It’s a sound and a feeling, and it covers the unfeeling elements (the parts you can’t feel) that are counted.While playing the guitar, Ucchi to the left of Neoki (Nekoi’s mistake lol) is as still as a rock.Looking like an extra from the movie Blade Runner, he was the life and death of the guitar throughout.To the right of Neoki, standing, jumping and dancing, Loveless (Uenoyama) is an extraordinary percussionist.He uses electronic drum pads, cymbals, tom-toms, and theremins all with an electronic beat, and strums the theremin.A surreal band, PSYDOLL. It’s really Saidor.+VENUS FLY TRAP“Electro Post Punk from Northampton”Review of Time Lapse 1989 – 1994 “This is the true avant-garde sound, but it came about when the term no longer had the impact it had in the early eighties. Compilation that seeks the most emblematic moments of the three albums (“Totem”, “Pandora’s Box” and “Luna Tide”) edited in the period indicated by the title. Post-punk, gothic rock and a dose of experimentalism that make us have a set of songs that is both dated and emblematic of a genre that has a very specific spirit” -Fernando Ferreira, WOMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjjrBkaCALYhttps://www.facebook.com/thevenusflytrapuk“Another band with Sci-fi leanings are Northampton’s darkwave duo VENUS FLY TRAP. Like an uninvited guest they knock on your cranium with insanely catchy riffs and once inside they’re not leaving. Opening with their 1986 debut single, the addictive ‘Morphine’, vocalist Alex Novak and guitarist Andy Denton share an undeniable chemistry as a punchy ‘Sabotage’ follows along with the car crash that is ‘James Dean’. Latest single ‘Vitesse’ gets an airing and, despite the decades that separate these songs, it’s a really cohesive gig. Two choice covers close their set, first Suicides ‘Rocket USA’ and then the Cramps ‘Human Fly’. VFT have been quite active recently and it’s paying off with some really tight performances and tonight’s gig makes them many new admirers.”PULSE MAGAZINE

The band’s main music contributor is lead vocalist, lyricist, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Nero Bellum, who is the only remaining original member.Heartlay is a visionary French band that blends contemporary metal with alternative subgenres, striking imagery and cathartic lyricism.

Ghost Dance……

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.

After a successful first event last year, Arcane Exhibitions returns to The York Medical Society, on the 20th of April, to curate another multi-sensory market experience. The latest edition of THE CURIOUS EMPORIUM will see the ancient traditions and practices of the spring festival; BELTANE brought imaginatively to life, within the walls of the historic York Medical Society. Smell the ceremonial bonfires as they burn, see the beautiful yellow of the May flowers, hear the birdsong, take part in ancient rituals and feast in our pop-up vegan and gluten free cafe, which has tea and coffee, alongside a selection of home made cakes!

Visit our 12 dynamic sellers of the weird and the wonderful, who all have a plethora of hand-made items, which you can’t get in any shops. Our traders will be announced one by one, as we head towards the big day, so keep your eyes on our Facebook page to see who we have trading with us! Just search “Arcane Exhibitions” on Facebook to find it! By attending and (hopefully) making a purchase from one (or more!) of our traders, you are supporting alternative culture and independent businesses, which are two things very close to our hearts!

The event is multi-sensory. Each room has strong theming, a customised sound track, visual stimuli and scent profiles galore, from the moment you walk through the door!

You may experience strange activity at the event. The building is reportedly haunted by 2 interactive personality ghosts and 1 poltergeist, so if you feel a little tap on your shoulder, or see something out of the ordinary, you probably won’t be the first! We encourage anyone who is interested in paranormal studies to attend.

Everyone and anyone is welcome to attend, however we are exploring dark themes in our decorations, so very small children might get a bit scared! Disabled access is possible and assistance dogs are also welcome.

Chelsea Wolfe’s latest album, She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She, is a rebirth in process. It’s about how such a moment connects to our past, our present, and our future. It’s a powerfully cathartic statement about cutting ties, as well as an important reminder that healing is cyclical and circular, and not a simple linear process. As Wolfe explains, “It’s a record about the past self reaching out to the present self reaching out to the future self to summon change, growth, and guidance. It’s a story of setting yourself free from situations and patterns that are holding you back, in order to become self-empowered. It’s an invitation to step into your authenticity.”On She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She, there are references to shedding exoskeletons, to excommunication, and to permanent fissures. The liminal, the in-between, and the unseen are recurring characters. As Wolfe puts it, “like the dark moon, that void space can feel unpredictable and looming, but it also holds so much potential, mystery, and excitement.” Dense and minimal, raw and opulent, intimate and expansive, the production also breaks apart then rebuilds—samples of the band are cut and pasted back together, heavy guitars dissolve into trip-hop breaks; the vocal delivery is both hushed and soaring.

Founded at the end of 2016 by three DJ’s Rue Oberkampf combines 80s ecstasy with the atmosphere of fog-shrouded, strobe-lit dance temples of the techno era. The combination of urban electronic music’s gritty drive with Julia’s French-German vocals reminds some critics of a more forceful version of Deux or Kirlian Camera: yet at the same time it creates something entirely original. See their performance, know your religion….theirs is a transformative experience. They embody ecstasy, the transcendence of societal boundaries, and a dark longing for the here and now. Their concerts are magical ceremonies that electrify the masses.Rue Oberkampf now performs headlining shows, such as at Wave- Gotik-Treffen (Germany), Monitor Festival (Portugal), as well as in London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, and more. In addition to their own tours in Canada and Europe, Rue Oberkampf opened for acts such as Molchat Doma, Lebanon Hanover, DAF, and Drab Majesty.The band has released various singles, EPs, and albums on Young and Cold Records, Motor Music, Ant Zen, and No EMB Blanc / Genetic.

The Tales of Witchcraft & Wonder: Inkubus Sukkubus
2024-04-27 19:30 - 23:00 | May Hill Village Hall, Longhope, All Saints Road, May Hill,, Longhope, GL17 0N
The Tales of Witchcraft & Wonder events were established in 2016 by Gloucestershire band Inkubus Sukkubus as a way of celebrating the dark folklore and customs of Great Britain. They have variously been held in specially-chosen historic venues – such as Blackfriars Priory; St Briavels Castle; The Barn at The Fleece, Bretforton; and The Folk of Gloucester. In 2024, the band is celebrating its 35th Anniversary, and so they’ve chosen the magical surroundings of May Hill in the Forest of Dean to mark the occasion (the Gloucestershire ‘witches’ hill’ with the distinctive clump of trees on top). Weekend tickets include camping in a private woodland clearing – featuring stone barn with wood-burning stove and kitchen, outside firepits, gas-fired showers and composting toilets – and run from Friday, April 26 to Monday, April 29, 2024. Tickets also include entry to a special evening on Saturday, April 27 at May Hill Village Hall – just a few minutes’ walk from the campsite. As ever, the band will be joined by their creative friends, so expect storytelling, Border Morris dancing, ghostly tales, music, magick, licensed bar and comradeship.

1919 + Twisted Nerve + Gothzilla
2024-05-03 19:00 - 23:00 | Audio Glasgow, 14 Midland Street, Glasgow, G1 4PP, United Kingdom
1919 SHORT BIOGRAPHY:

Cult post-punks 1919 remain “head and shoulders above” the rest.

A pioneering goth band through singles such as “Cry Wolf”, their Machine LP, and two Peel sessions in the early ‘80s, 1919 returned after a 30-year hiatus to release 2017’s critically-acclaimed Bloodline LP (Westworld) and 2019’s Futurecide (Cleopatra). The band emerged from quarantine in 2021 with their fourth studio album, welcoming new bass player Ding Archer (PJ Harvey, The Pixies, The Fall) to the fold, and following vocalist Rio Goldhammer’s bid to become Mayor of West Yorkshire (NME). Citizens of Nowhere (Manic Depression) saw the band labelled “head and shoulders above other denizens of the shadowy genre” in Vive Le Rock. After receiving mainstream media attention in 2022 for their fundraising efforts in the wake of the invasion of Ukraine, 1919 returned their powerful live show to the road in 2023, with shows in Los Angeles and Mexico City following their debut appearance at Leipzig’s Wave Gotik Treffen.

TWISTED NERVE BIOGRAPHY:

Twisted Nerve are a Scottish punk band formed in Edinburgh by Craig Paterson (vocals), Norbert Bassbin (bass), Colin Moxey (guitar) and Keith Hamilton (drums). As the 80s progressed they developed a unique sound, closer to goth, perhaps with inspiration from Killing Joke and Siouxsie & the Banshees. For some reason, no one had reissued their music until last year when US label Secret Records put out Archive Vol. 1 & 2. The first volume is a straight-up reissue of their 1984 mini-album Séance, which is an impressive document of the band at their height. The second LP, called Never Say Goodbye, compiles their singles, compilation tracks and demos. The sound here is much more raw, still punk almost. Both are now sold out on bandcamp, but some distros like Under the Radar still have copies. The group reformed in the new millennium and are still playing together, they play a rare Glasgow show with cult legends 1919.

GOTHZILLA BIOGRAPHY:

GOTHZILLA hail from Dunfermline, Scotland and return to the live scene after an enforced hiatus with main man Tim Jarvis. The band are excited at finally getting to play new tracks from the acclaimed third Gothzilla album called Auras, released in 2020. They also released their new album of awesome covers ‘Gothzilla – Other Peoples Stories’ on 5th May 2023, always a great live act, so do turn up early to catch their set!

Skeletal Family are:

Anneka Latta – VocalsStan Greenwood – GuitarsRoger “Trotwood” Nowell – BassIan “Karl Heinz” Taylor – Keyboards / SaxophoneAdrian “Ozzy” Osadzenko – Drums and Percussion

Being one of the more prominent Indie / Alternative bands from the early / mid 1980’s, Skeletal Family enjoyed relatively major national and international success. From topping the National UK Indie Charts for three weeks in Autumn 1984 with debut album “Burning Oil” (above other contemporary northern bands The Smiths & New Order) to recording seven BBC Radio One sessions for John Peel, Janice Long & Kid Jensen.

Their impressive live show at this time brought them to the attention of The Sisters of Mercy front man Andrew Eldritch, who, after seeing a local performance, invited them as special guests on their 1984 Black October tour. The next two years saw the band gracing the stage with acts such as Siouxsie & The Banshees, Spear Of Destiny & The Mission etc..
