The Tales of Witchcraft & Wonder: Inkubus Sukkubus
2024-04-27 19:30 - 23:00 (Europe/London) | 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.

Rue Oberkampf + Soft Riot + Dimethoxy
2024-04-28 19:00 - 23:00 | Dareshack, Bristol, Vintry Building, Wine Street, Bristol, BS1 2BD
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.

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!

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..

PRESS RELEASE: A truly international and unique line up of dark experimental, electronic, mash up dance, Witch house, Gothic and Cold Wave music that goes far beyond and defies all the usual genre labels! Let’s stop the pigeon holing and just say it’s time to embrace the darkness!

Once part of the first wave of witch house acts, the one man band has since branched out to explore and mix other styles like darkwave, industrial, noise and dark ambient, crafting a style of his own. Releases include the witch house classics CDR (Disaro) and Ghetto Ass Witch, reissued on vinyl by Re:Mission Entertainment on their 10th anniversary, the debut album Doom and its follow up EP Satanico Supremo on Artoffact Records, Häxan, a live score performance to the 1920s silent film, RADICAL MACABRO, the sophomore album that earned a spot on I Die:You Die’s best albums of 2022 list, and the lastest release HYPERMOTION X 2.0, a re-recording of the 2012 EP originally released on Mishka, now issued on cassette by Dagger Forest in London, UK on December 1st, 2023.

THE SPIRITUAL BAT Bio:

From the ashes of Spiritual Bats (plural) founded in 1992, which in turn was spawned by visual arts group I Pittori Alchimisti (Alchemist Painters, est.1976), The Spiritual Bat fluctuates somewhere between old-school goth and postpunk, darkwave and psychedelic deathrock, with their own, unique blend of sounds, with Rosetta’s witchy vocals and Dario’s mighty, distorted guitars, The Spiritual Bat boasts participation in several prestigious events and festivals in Europe and the USA.

Based in Italy, the band has performed at Wave Gotik Treffen, Whitby Goth Weekend, Return To The Batcave, Gotham Sounds, Castle Party, Carpe Noctum, and have toured the USA from coast to coast several times, performing at events such as The Red Party in New York, Release The Bats in Los Angeles, San La Muerte in San Antonio TX, Vendetta Festival in Denver, Sogo Festival in New Orleans, besides innumerable other shows.The Spiritual Bat is an evolution of the “Spiritual BatS” (plural), a previous incarnation of which guitarist and former painter Dario was co-founder in 1992, shortly before going blind. The project has always featured artwork by the pictorial group I Pittori Alchimisti (Biennial of Venice, 1986 Art and Alchemy section), both on album covers and in video projections during live performances. In 1994 the Spiritual Bats opened for Rozz Williams (Christian Death) and his Daucus Karota. They are beyond excited to be playing for the UK audiences on their first ever UK tour in the land that invented gothic music!

Kontravoid
2024-05-09 19:30 - 23:30 | The White Hotel, Salford, Dickinson Street,, Salford, M3 7LW
Kontravoid’s masked mystique has remained for over a decade. Ever since the release of his self-titled LP in 2012, the Canadian-born, Los Angeles-based Cameron Findlay has perfected dark pop with his oeuvre that teeters between the EBM, electro and goth genres. His productions, such as 2019’s “Too Deep” and 2021’s “Faceless,” dive to the most derelict corners of foggy, strobe-lit clubs: there is no choice but to dance. But there is an uncanny softness and obvious songwriting ability to compose heart-wrenching songs that are both captivating and drenched in melancholy—2018’s “Undone” has been a fan favorite since it came out on Berlin’s Fleisch Records.

Onstage, Kontravoid demands the audience’s attention with his powerful performance that balances his specific concoction of harsh beats with his signature bass line rhythmic patterns. He’s toured alongside Boy Harsher, ADULT., Drab Majesty and Hide and has remixed the likes of Schwefelgelb and Kris Baha. Truly a man of the shadows, Kontravoid is an unparalleled fixture in the dark electronic arena.

Project Pitchfork will be bringing the full show to the UK for this one-off gig, complete with two drummers and huge, spectacular LED light show.

SHE PLEASURES HERSELF from Lisbon, Portugal, are regulars in the European alternative live scene. Their musical style of music is reminiscent of new wave and goth sounds of the 70s and 80s, with post punk mixed into a contemporary and luxurious wave of sonic delight.

DEVIANT UK returns to the stage after a long hiatus – a mainstay of the European goth and industrial scene since 2005 – having played around the world (including a tour with Project Pitchfork). Fronted by charismatic showman Jay Smith, they are renowned for their energetic and theatrical live performances.

Wasted Youth + Bruxism
2024-05-10 19:30 - 23:00 | Thunderbolt, Bristol, 124 Bath Road, Bristol, BS4 3ED
Wasted Youth, the original post-punk pre-goth cult band from 1979-82, features original members Ken Scott (Vocals) and Rocco Barker (Gtr), with new members Alan Temple (Drums), Josef Rosam (Gtr) and Sabrina Amade (Bass). Whilst paying respect and having great love for the ‘old’ Wasted Youth, the ‘new’ Wasted Youth are not a nostalgia act, and are eager to prove that they have something new to offer, both visually and sonically.

Wasted Youth, who reformed initially for one gig in February 2022, have gone from strength to strength ever since. They supported the Psychedelic Furs on all dates of their UK tour in 2022, including the iconic Royal Albert Hall. They built on the demand for more shows by playing four more sold-out headline shows in London, including The PowerHaus (now called ‘Dingwalls’) and The Oslo in Hackney.

In 2023, Wasted Youth took their vibrant and contemporary sound to fans old and new around the country, playing 16 headline shows, all of which were a real triumph, with fans, venues and promoters all asking for their return at a later date. Wasted Youth also played the Wide-Awake Festival in London, the Rebellion Festival in Blackpool and headlined the Portobello Live festival. Just recently, they were special guests of PWEI (Pop Will Eat Itself) at four sold-out shows in Birmingham and London. They finish the year by headlining the ‘Xmas Reimagined’ show in London, which is completely sold-out (again!) with two months still to go!

Wasted Youth plan to rehearse and record new material early in the New Year before going back on the road for more gigs in March/April and June/July 2024. They hope to add more gigs and festivals throughout the year.

Wasted Youth will be promoting a vinyl and CD reissue of their classic debut album ‘Wild and Wandering’, which has been expertly remastered and is available now for the first time since 1981 on WY Records. Available now from bandcamp.com

There’s also an album of unreleased Ken Scott (Wasted Youth) demos ‘Before, After & Later (1983-1993)’, also on WY Records, due to be released in December 2023.

There are plenty of live reviews and YouTube footage of the band (both old and current) and up-to-date Facebook and Instagram pages.

Wasted Youth have featured in four issues of ‘Vive Le Rock’ magazine in the past twelve months as well as receiving glowing contemporary reviews at online music sites such as ‘Louder than War’, ‘Kill your Pet Puppy’, ‘Whisperinandhollerin’ and ‘Darker Side of Music’ to name but a few.

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.

*DOWN FROM ABOVE*

Like an angel with dirty fingernails, DownFromAbove offer a tantalising contradiction, one that juxtaposes bittersweet melodies with menacing guitar riffs, instinctive pop sensibility against growling bass and twisted synths, driving beats and rhythms in opposition to ethereal calm.

Comprised of vocalist Anastasia Resurrection, bassist Jaemi Zahra-Hall and guitarist Rob Ackerman, and inspired by acts ranging from Blondie to Nine Inch Nails, DownFromAbove have honed their electronica driven hard rock via the highs and lows of the London club scene and are now looking to bring their distinctive blend of heavy soundscapes and trippy dark angelic vocals to a wider audience.

MØNSTER QUEEN PROUDLY PRESENTS:KONTRAVOID (USA) LIVE.Kontravoid’s masked mystique has remained for over a decade. Ever since the release of his self-titled LP in 2012, the Canadian-born, Los Angeles-based Cameron Findlay has perfected dark pop with his oeuvre that teeters between the EBM, electro and goth genres. His productions, such as 2019’s “Too Deep” and 2021’s “Faceless,” dive to the most derelict corners of foggy, strobe-lit clubs: there is no choice but to dance. But there is an uncanny softness and obvious songwriting ability to compose heart-wrenching songs that are both captivating and drenched in melancholy—2018’s “Undone” has been a fan favorite since it came out on Berlin’s Fleisch Records. Onstage, Kontravoid demands the audience’s attention with his powerful performance that balances his specific concoction of harsh beats with his signature bass line rhythmic patterns. He’s toured alongside Boy Harsher, ADULT., Drab Majesty and Hide, and has remixed the likes of Schwefelgelb and Kris Baha. Truly a man of the shadows, Kontravoid is an unparalleled fixture in the dark electronic arena.//THE TOWER (TOP FLOOR)JXN COCÕLAIS PATTAKODILON’S GRIPSOB STORYLIVE: KONTRAVOID (USA)//THE BLACK SANCTUM (GROUND FLOOR)BLACKDEATH 1334LESS THAN HUMANLITH LIMATT CCHOSTS:BROTHER OF SETMAMMA STYLISTVENOMUNHOLY TRINITYJESSI XUROTTEN HOLLOWDoor: Felicia BrookhausPhotography: El NineWelfare: Safe OnlyCASH ONLY ON THE DOOR18+ EVENTVALID I.D IS MANDATORYLAST ENTRY: 02:30AMDRESS CODE: EXTREMEFOR INFO ON BIRTHDAY OFFERS PLEASE DM.** “ This is a queer event and we are a safe space for the LGBTQIA+ community & POC.

From the ashes of Spiritual Bats (plural) founded in 1992, which in turn was spawned by visual arts group I Pittori Alchimisti (Alchemist Painters, est.1976), The Spiritual Bat fluctuates somewhere between old-school goth and postpunk, darkwave and psychedelic deathrock, with their own, unique blend of sounds, with Rosetta’s witchy vocals and Dario’s mighty, distorted guitars, The Spiritual Bat boasts participation in several prestigious events and festivals in Europe and the USA.Based in Italy, the band has performed at Wave Gothic Treffen, Whitby Goth Weekend, Return To The Batcave, Gotham Sounds, Castle Party, Carpe Noctum, and have toured the USA from coast to coast several times, performing at events such as The Red Party in New York, Release The Bats in Los Angeles, San La Muerte in San Antonio TX, Vendetta Festival in Denver, Sogo Festival in New Orleans, besides innumerable other shows.The Spiritual Bat is an evolution of the “Spiritual BatS” (plural), a previous incarnation of which guitarist and former painter Dario was co-founder in 1992, shortly before going blind. The project has always featured artwork by the pictorial group I Pittori Alchimisti (Biennial of Venice, 1986 Art and Alchemy section), both on album covers and in video projections during live performances. In 1994 the Spiritual Bats opened for Rozz Williams (Christian Death) and his Daucus Karota

Flag Promotions proudly presents TRAITRS debut UK tour, the dynamic post punk duo have seen a meteoric rise in popularity over the last couple of years with their beautifully crafted melancholic songs and mesmerising live shows, TRAITRS have quickly become one of modern post-punk’s fastest rising independent bands. They recently finished massive tours in the US and Europe with dark waves premiere act VNV NATION. Now it’s time for the UK to experience their encapsulating shows!

For fans of The Cure, She Past Away, Clan Of Xymox, Lebanon Hannover etc

They are supported on all dates by the enigmatic Sweden based artist AUX ANIMAUX see bio below.

AUX ANIMAUX is a darkwave artist based in Stockholm, Sweden. Her songs draw inspiration from the 80s dark wave and goth bands, as well as occultism and horror movies.

aux animaux was born and raised in Istanbul. She is a self-taught musician that worked as a professional bass guitarist for several years up until moving to Sweden 15 years ago. With aux animaux, on stage she sings as well as alternating between theremin and bass guitar. The theremin, which she considers to be her source of sorcery, is the only instrument that is played without actually touching.

aux animaux released her first songs in 2017. She has been touring both in Sweden and rest of Europe, opening for artist, such as She Past Away, Hante., Then Comes Silence among others. Her debut EP ”Black Holes” had more politically loaded songs that were about animal rights, feminism, criticising the society, whereas the sophomore EP ”Stockholm Synthrome” combines this approach with a more personal one, among others narrating her decade long struggle with misophonia. In the fall of 2021 she released her single ”Haunted” that she co-produced with the Swedish dark wave band abu nein. In spring of 2022, she released her EP ”The Hydesville Episode”, which she produced and mixed entirely on her own that’s more experimental than her previous work reminding of horror movie soundtracks. In December 2022, aux animaux released ”Hauntology” consisting of 4 original songs and 4 remixes of these made by Tobias Bernstrup, Priest, Majestoluxe and the artist herself.

Mutant Movement brings you the best tribute bands from around the globe, a Goth double bill with a Sisters of Mercy tribute and Goth covers band.

The Smurphs as they’re known in the North are known for their Marathon sets and this will be no exception so be prepared to stay out late, they cover every era of the Sisters, some say better than Eldritch & co.

Back in 1993 a Ginger haired Guitar God visited Colorado USA. Whilst there he was thinking of his girlfriend back home in Blighty, a Sisters fan, and as a result purchased Floodland and Vision Thing from the local mall. About one year and one girlfriend later Ginger visits Huddersfield and witnesses an excellent gig by a band called Sister Sludge – a Sisters covers band. They were drunk, they were ropey but Ginger was impressed… The rest is history!

Cover of Dark are a Leeds based covers band specialising in Goth and Alternative 80’s hits.Playing the best of Goth by the likes of Bauhaus, The Cure and The Cult, All About Eve, The Fields of the Nephilim, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Mission and more. Alternative 80’s hits include songs by Billy Idol, Martha and the Muffins, Gary Numan, Soft Cell and the Psychedelic Furs. Formed in 2023, Cover of Dark are an exciting live band who having gigged successfully in Yorkshire and are looking forward to a busy 2024 around the UK.

Midas Fall + Westenra + Yellow Belly
2024-05-27 18:00 - 23:00 | The Fulford Arms, York, 121 Fulford Road, York, YO10 4EX, United Kingdom
MIDAS FALL – to discover Midas Fall is to delve irreversibly into all the passion and beauty, sadness and joy that only rare artists can conjure, falling deeply in love in an instant and feeling happily captured there. Combining elements of electronica, post-rock and alternative rock with progressive and gothic undertones, the band deliver taut, shimmering soundscapes led by the hauntingly melancholic vocals of Elizabeth Heaton. And as a live act, they will leave you breathless, shell-shocked, and part of something very, very special….

WESTENRA lead the way in dramatic, immersive modern gothic-rock, shifting effortlessly between fiery and delicate, ferocious and introspective, a glamorous Romanticism stamped with steely self-preservation and a fiercely independent spirit….

Both bands will play a full set.

Our special guest for the night is YELLOW BELLY – a hugely talented performer, effortlessly combining melancholy melody with a lush, beautiful calmness, creating soundscapes that are both emotionally complex, and deceptively direct.

This is a Bank Holiday event, and so we will open the doors nice and early. Doors at 6 and plenty of time to socialise before the bands take to the stage at around 7…..The Velvet Sheep presents ‘Cold Waves Divide Us’ – come shake your hooves with us!

S Promotions & Deadfall present:

IAMWARFACE is a Nu-Rock Band formed in Brighton 2016 by singer/producer Matt Warneford. The name is a cunning metaphor for his own original style of bombastic high-energy groove based electro-rock, which has been affectionaly branded “Rocktronica” by none other than legendary Virgin Radio host Eddy Temple Morris. The aim of IAMWARFACE has always been to create a new, edgier kind of rock sound, echoing the rebellious creativity of the early 90s and punk danger of the 70s.https://www.facebook.com/iamwarface

Neon Fields is an electrifying and dynamic British alternative band with a distinctive identity. The trio from the southwest UK deliver a unique, sophisticated style that captivates audiences with cinematic soundscapes, industrial tones, and creative narratives.Drawing from diverse influences, they seamlessly traverse multiple genres to produce their unique brand of music.Neon Fields’ passion for music is evident in their creative and innovative approach to songwriting, as they strive to push the boundaries of what is possible in the genre. With their undeniable talent and unwavering dedication, Neon Fields is undoubtedly a band to watch out for in the future.https://www.facebook.com/neonfieldsband

Jan Doyle Band + The Webb + Dead Happy
2024-06-14 19:30 - 2024-06-15 02:00 | Sidney & Matilda, Sheffield, Sidney Street, Sheffield, S1 4RH
Finally we can announce the full line up for our event at Sidney & Matilda on the 14th June.

We had already announced it’s a long long overdue return of The Webb whose fantastic stage presence and overal popular madness almost certainly goes without saying. They were due to return with the HRH Punk event but with the o2 closed down due to congrete issues that obviously never happened.

Jan Doyle Band plan to make the evening all about them obviously with it being the birthday of The Futurist (And indeed it is he who is behind Night Shift events and posting this now in matter where he pretends it isn’t). So that’s something to shout about. Probably.

But most importantly right now we can announce that the utterly incredible experience that is Dead Happy will finally return to Sheffield. Their bizarre industrial metal disco is absolutely unique and is almost impossible to describe but trust us it is absolutely astoundingly good. They did play our festival a couple of years ago to great appreciation but due to certain reasons they weren’t quite able to play as long as they normally do which we hope to correct this time. They’re not long back from having taken Japan by storm too so perhaps we will see a bit of that influence rubbing off.

But anyway we’re so damn excited to have them back as there’s nothing else like them on the planet.

OH AND IF THAT WASN’T ENOUGHWe’ve got DJ Orpheus down all the way from Whitby to delight your ears with some fantastic Goth music and such like! Having experience the delights of his DJ work at Crafty Cove last year we feel this is quite the coup to have his handywork involved. He’ll keep us going long after the live music has stopped (and between the bands most likely).Tickets are available now. If you want them. But it’s ok, it’s a fair bit of time away, we can wait!

Reptile House - Tribute to the Sisters of Mercy + All The 1s
2024-06-15 20:00 - 23:30 | The Hat Factory, Luton, 65, 67 Bute St,, Luton, LU1 2EY
Following a successful tour across the UK with Lizzie and the Banshees, Reptile House bring their tribute to the alternative rockers Sisters of Mercy to Luton.

Whether you’re a fan of the early EPs classics like Alice and Floorshow or you love the big production hits like Dominion and Lucretia, we have the three albums and EPs covered. Reptile House have been a working band for nearly 9 years, starting life as a Dark Side of the 80s cover band before developing into an original band as Souls of Misfortune. After a number of requests for the Souls to play Sisters sets, Reptile House was formed towards the end of 2022. During 2023 the band played alongside the fabulous Lizzie and the Banshees and Liqueur at venues across the UK.

The band have won over crowds at London’s Garage, Bristol’s Dareshack, Glasgow’s Ivory Blacks, Newcastle’s Cluny as well as festival performances in Whitby (Goth Weekend) and the South West.

Expect convincing renditions of your favourite Sisters tracks with visual representations to take you back to the glory days of the 1980s and early 1990s, along with a visual interpretation capturing the look and feel of Wake, The Royal Albert Hall concert from the summer of 1985.

Get your goth on and get dressed in your black finery for a night of pure dark side on the 80s!

PURE INDUSTRIAL special - Riotmiloo & Jose Macabra live
2024-06-29 15:00 - 2024-06-30 01:00 | New River Studios, London, 199 Eade Rd, Harringay Warehouse District, London, N4 1DN
Pure Industrial grew out of Nik Panic’s dissatisfaction with London’s 90s club scene. Already active as a DJ since 1983, he was convinced that he could offer something better. Relying on word of mouth and networking, the club night made a strong impact from the start, soon developing a loyal following. He then built on this and began to put on live acts, including Noisex, or VNV Nation, Mesh, Inertia and more. As he says, «The club is an important fixture in many people’s lives, they made friends for life at Pure Industrial, some who played live have gone on to have a fine musical career. » Since the club’s heyday, Panic has become a respected filmmaker and is now a member of the A/V post-industrial duo Sz. Berlin ± Panic. He’s remained closely supportive of the London industrial scene, occasionally DJ’ing and following the latest developments. Now he feels London is crying out for another dose of pure industrial, but with a contemporary twist. He is resurrecting the night in different times, but with an unchanged mission – provide industrial people with great entertainment for little money.

For the return of Pure Industrial he has hand-picked two veteran London acts from the scene, known for their uncompromising performances. Playing live regularly in London and abroad since 2008, Riotmiloo’s action-packed performances are emotionally and sonically intense events. Think riot girl meets contemporary industrial with a French twist. Tonight she will present her latest album «Blackout » (Ant-Zen), named by Reflections of Darkness as number 2 on its top 10 list of 2023 industrial releases. Nik says « I wanted Riotmiloo to play live because I love their music and because they are released by Ant-Zen and I have been championing the label’s music from day one. »

Jose Macabra was a leading figure behind another notorious London underground club night – Antagony at Union in Vauxhall. Jose brings numerous elements to his performances, including electronics, field recordings, noise and industrial, plus his distinctive vocals. Ritualistic, unpredictable and cathartic, his performances take audiences on an immersive journey. Jose recently performed at the prestigious Elektroanschlag festival in Germany. Nik has long admired Jose’s approach and has selected him to complement the sound of the evening and add another dimension to it.

There is no booking fee on the tickets, and the first release is only £10. Following the live acts, the action will move to the venue’s bar area, open for drinks and pizza until 1AM.

STELLA WEMBLEY

A graduate from Conservatorio di Musica “San Pietro a Majella” of Naples, Stella Wembley is the new rising star of the UK Dark Synth/Gothic Scene.

Stella Wembley is an accomplished music producer, video director, composer, lyricist, multi-faceted musician and truly exceptional vocalist.

Stella captivates with her own particular take on the genre.

Alluringly she leads the listener into a haunted realm where, with powerful and evocative deep lyrics, she lays bare her soul in a psycho-drama of tragedy and melancholic sensuality.

She sings powerfully, yet with a hint of vulnerability, like a beautiful damned siren calling us to join her in her dark universe.

Stella Wembley is a visionary artist who seems to defy description.https://stellawembley.com

DEAD BLOOD CELLS

Dead Blood Cells are a Kent UK based Industrial Darkwave band.

Formed in very early 2017 in Medway, they bring together a number of influences including Darkwave, Electro-Industrial and more of those tricky Post-Punk genres.

It is a marriage of hauntingly sweet dark vocals with industrial noise. They have appeared on Cleopatra Records Unquiet Grave 2020 compilation, Slava Ukraini ( a Darkwave/EBM Charity compilation in support of Ukraine).

Described by one reviewer “They had a song that told you they are Industrial, but there was more than this mixed up in this cacophony stage presence.

There was punk, experimental and something that vaguely reminded me of some of Fad Gadgets sound.”https://deadbloodcells.com/

BIG CAT CHIC

Big Cat Chic is band with a gothic image but which skates across genres from grunge to dream pop to electronic and punk.

Fronted by Eliza (he/they) the songs tackle big concepts from religious trauma and gender identity to ‘itty-bitty prick boys’ Big Cat Chic focus the lens on issues via the use of character, sound and image.

Described by Louder than War Magazine as having a Cocteau Twins otherworldliness!

https://www.instagram.com/bigcatchic/https://linktr.ee/bigcatchic

JD ROBERTS

Leeds-based musician playing a mixture of dark ambient and melodic ambient, his compositions paint picturesque and sometimes grotesque landscapes.

Armed with a synthesizer and clarinet, his live performances involve improvisations on a background of sounds and images that brings the audience into an ethereal, elusive dimensionhttps://linktr.ee/JDRoberts

DJ SET

UK TOUR 2024

AYRIA

Electro-ebm-dark-dance-industrial act Ayria was formed in 2003 by Canadian singer-songwriter Jennifer Parkin. For two decades now, listeners have been hooked on her driving bass synths, addictive stompy beats, melancholic vocals and unapologetically feminine aesthetic. In 2022, AYRIA released her sixth full-length album and Artoffact Records debut, This is my Battle Cry signalling the beginning of a brand new era, showcasing a slick-more mature sound while still giving a nod to AYRIA’s previous ear-candy laced works. The album features 10 new tracks including the addictively catchy songs “Stranger Danger”, “No One Asked You” and the intensely dark title track “Battle Cry”. The Battle Cry tour has included legs in the USA, UK and will hit Canada later this year before Ayria plans the next music release.

UK Touring quote: Jennifer Parkin of Ayria

“2023 marked the 20th anniversary of Ayria and after a long pandemic, I returned to the stage to tour my 6th full length release `This Is My Battle Cry’ and also to do a full retrospective playing tracks from every previous release. With a headlining slot at the Resistanz Festival in Sheffield, UK back in April, 2023, I was re-inspired and it motivated me to tour again and reach a live audience. Ayria then embarked on a 22 date USA leg of the Battle Cry tour back in October and November, 2023 and we are now planning a return to the UK for 8 more shows on this tour. The pandemic reminded me that life is too short and it’s now or never. The UK has always been one of my favourite and most supportive markets to tour, and getting to hit the road with UK’s Inertia, who are one of my favourite touring partners is a real treat. Having done this touring combination in both 2014 and 2016 for the Paper Dolls tour, we knew we HAD to do it again as the combination brought something really special to audiences and works so well! I’m really looking forward to playing for the UK audiences again soon!”

INERTIA

The UK’s Inertia are back in 2024 with a brand new album and dates in the UK and USA.The band who are fronted by Reza Udhin (Killing Joke / Black Volition / The Devout), will be celebrating their 32nd anniversary in 2024 by releasing their 14th studio album ESTRANGED ICON.It features the singles “New Format” Featuring Violins by Matt Howden from the band Sieben and “Scowl”, which featured guitars by KMFDM and PIG’s Steve White, the single peaked in the German Alternative Charts at number 2!The band, who have embarked on 12 USA tours, plus several UK and European tours over the years, look forward to bringing their unique and energetic show to stages in 2024.

BLACK LIGHT ASCENSION

Black Light Ascension have been around in some form or another since 2011.The original album Ashes was a surprise underground hit, finding itself played in German clubs and festivals.Through several line up changes the solid core of Andrew Trail (vocals guitar writing) and Hunter Barr (live loops, synth and very percussive riffing)The following 3 albums, Post Future Recordings, The Austerity Exhibition (featuring another club hit Dark Angels, thanks a lot to the brilliant video by Gabriella Edvy)and Flesh Ghosts continued to show development in sound design, concept and execution. Live too, the two piece standing very front of stage, daring the audience to call them out, yet drawing them slowly in.BLA have played the coveted Wave Gothic Treffen twice, the second time headlining one of the stages on Saturday night.Post pandemic, post Brexi,t Black Light Ascension really felt driven to perform more to audiences all over the United Kingdom Despite the timing , it was surprisingly successful. Thanks to Reza from Inertia, BLA are set to do the same trick twice, but with the formidable presence of Ayria, this whole line up will be incendiary.

2024-08-09 19:30 - 23:00 | Cart & Horses, London, 1 Maryland Point, London, E15 1PF
MECHANICAL CABARET:

Post-Industrial Synth-Punk from Roi Robertson, together with Stephen J. Bellamy and Tobie Chandler for live shows: Mechanical Cabaret combine edgy, often downright filthy synthesizer experiments with sampled found-sound, off-kilter melodies and a spiky electronic energy, with Roi’s deadpan baritone and sardonic lyrics, delivered with a healthy dose of typically British dark humour.

They’ve been provoking audiences for 25 years, where Roi really comes into his own as a dynamic, energetic front-man, playing many headline shows and club gigs over the years, and supported the likes of such musical luminaries as Fad Gadget, Nitzer Ebb, Suicide, DAF, Front 242, The Damned, Karl Bartos of Kraftwerk, Sigue Sigue Sputnik, Frontline Assembly, Sheep On Drugs, and many more!

DEAD AUDIO SAINTS:

Electronic-Infused-Rock-NoiseDead audio saints create electronic-infused-rock that delivers just what the listening public has been searching for.https://li.sten.to/yxOiCqQhttps://www.facebook.com/DeadAudioSaints

THE MEME PUNKS:

Based in London, The Memepunks have been delighting audiences with their unique style of mashups and unconventional covers since 2011. No song is sacred and no genre is safe from their madcap musical experiments. From kazoo and accordion solos to TV theme tunes, The Memepunks will stop at nothing to surprise and amuse.

They’ve supported acts including Professor Elemental, Aurelio Voltaire, Rasputina, Abney Park and Manuskript, and performed at the WGW 80s Night, Club Antichrist and EMF Festival. Now with 50% more guitar, The Memepunks are looking forward to unleashing new material in advance of their appearance at Infest Festival.

Twin Tribes + Wingtips
2024-08-26 19:30 - 23:00 | Hope & Ruin, Brighton, 11-12 Queens Rd, Brighton and Hove,, Brighton, BN1 3WA
Hailing from Texas, Twin Tribes is an emerging force in the darkwave scene, turning heads in 2018 with the release of their debut album “Shadows” that featured dark melodic sounds, synthesizers, lyrics about the undead, and the occult and parallel universes. They returned in 2020 with the ten-track album “Ceremony” with an evolved sound that explored love and loss while showcasing their progression as a band. Band members, Luis Navarro and Joel Niño, Jr., are set to release their newest offering, “Pendulum”, in January of 2024.

With songs that are both dynamic and introspective, they balance the darker shades of the emotional spectrum with an energy and momentum that gives their music a powerful sense of urgency and drama. Their lyrics dig deep into the personal turmoil of love, life and loss, and have forged a new aesthetic that fuses the gothic with the romantic, viewing emotional themes through a darker lens.

—SILENT STAR— LondonSilent Star are a coldwave/synthpop duo from London whose “sparkling, soaring synth waves” embody “the rhythm of concrete walls”. They amassed close to 200,000 plays on YouTube after being picked up by Young & Cold Records, who took the band under their wing on the back of the success of their self-released debut single Star Of The Sea. The label released Silent Star’s first 12″ EP, The Cross Of Stamford Hill, which was followed by another single, The Estuary Shore — the first fruit of their work with Y&C producer Daniel Hallhuber. This spring they release another, The Cold Now, a duet with the Terror Bird singer and Sally Dige collaborator Nikki Nevver, featuring mixes by Hallhuber and the Antipole associate Paris Alexander.
The band have toured Europe twice, most recently with labelmates Videotraum and Terror Bird, and in London have headlined the legendary goth night Slimelight and have supported Xeno & Oaklander, the KVB and M!R!M.

Cadence Noir + Jan Doyle Band + Memory Theatre
2024-08-30 19:30 - 23:00 | The Yorkshireman, Sheffield, 10 Arundel Gate, Sheffield, S1 2PP, United Kingdom
Cadence Noir join us for the first time with their hugely gripping sound that combines goth punk and a folk edge. But this is folk more akin to the Pogues with that wild and powerful edge. Loud heavy guitars clash with violin and thundering drums in an astonishing display. This band that has played Bloodstock hugely blew us away first time we caught them in Nottingham.

Jan Doyle Band once again join us with their unique flavour of goth combining new wave, new romantic, punk, industrial, darkwave and who knows what else, all presented with that infamous Bowie esque glamour.

Memory Theatre make their night shift debut with a darkwave wave electronics fueled sound that decidedly impressed us when they got in touch. Definitely the kind of sound that we were looking to present that offers something a little different..
