The Ultimate Dreamers + Social Youth Cult

The Black Bull Gateshead 2 Mulgrave Terrace, Gateshead

The Ultimate Dreamers were influenced by Belgian cold wave and British post-punk but the teenagers set upon their own path. Frigid, organic tones with tainted with melancholy melodies, sometimes catchy, sometimes verging on the dissonant, serve as a backdrop for themes dominated by raw dreams, distressed love and social criticism. Between 1986 and 1990, they wrote and self-recorded numerous tracks, which resurfaced in 2020.

They are back in a new configuration including three original members and a new one. The repertoire is exhumed, resuscitated and enriched with new creations, which they will bring to The Black Bull in Gateshead ahead […]

Byronic Sex & Exile

‘ATTACKING THE SUN' ALBUM & TOUR AND ‘FUTURE BATTLEMENTS’ E.P

Byronic Sex & Exile is back on the road in the autumn to accompany their fifth album.
‘Attacking The Sun’ is an album of euphoric nihilism and spiritual militancy, channeling the spirit of Dionysian cruelty and joy as it explores and explodes the ideas of de Sade, Artaud, Saint Just, Rimbaud, Baudelaire, Nietzsche, Goethe, Martucci, Di Prima, and the Cultural Revolution in China amongst others - all delivered with the distinctive Byronic Sex & Exile style of uplifting majesty and malice.

The accompanying tour will take the form of a Dionysian […]

Dark Side Of The Tyne 2025: Attrition + The Ultimate Dreamers + Novyi Lef

UK Industrial legends Attrition headline Stripped in September

Formed in Coventry in 1980 by Martin Bowes and Julia Niblock. The band emerged from the experimental post-punk scene of the early 1980s and, along with other groups such as Throbbing Gristle, Coil, Einstürzende Neubauten, and In the Nursery, greatly contributed to the development of industrial music in the UK. From being part of the DIY and Cassette Culture scene in the 80s through to the release of The Black Mariah, Attririon's diversity has kept them on the cutting edge of dark music since their inception.

The Ultimate Dreamers were influenced by […]
