Dec 11, 2019
All dark wave, cold wave, post-punk, deathrock, goth, noise rock show.
0:25-4:00
THIS COLD NIGHT
(Austin)
Black Cherry
— Like the name of the album Black
Cherry, a tart and sweet concoction of guitar and synth, incredibly
emotionally nostalgic for 80's era dance-floor and cold
wave.
4:01-7:02
TRISTESSE LOYAL
(Germany)
Radiation
— Languid German vocalist dripping
disdain on electronic effects and beat; and super catchy to
boot.
7:03-10:16
LAS ERAS (Buenos
Aires)
Caraza
— Bass-heavy, depressive side of pop
ala New Order style. I liked the touch of early industrial in the
following song.
10:17-11:54
DEE BEE RICH
(Germany)
middle class
— You know Berlin has it going on,
their music follows no pattern which means the scene is truly
independent and vibrant and inspirational. A fun jangling noise
trip. These guys are hip.
11:55-17:44
EDWARD KA-SPEL
(London)
Waves Unchained
— Legendary Edward with his
poetry.
17:45-21:52
SUB-SAHARA
(TX)
10-15
— A touch of emo-punk vocals with
melodic-driven guitars.
21:52-28:15
CAUSA DE MUERTE
(Chile)
Gelosia
— Female-fronted goth singing in
Spanish. Sad face and shit, band recently no longer
together.
28:16-31:15
THE WRAITH
(LA)
Of the Earth
— Must be in the LA water. Deathrock
rockin' goth through the veins, the vocalist reminded me of Mission
UK.
31:16-35:10
STATIC PALM
(London)
Sacred Heart
— My favorite type: sexy, danceable,
darkly throbbing electronic with vivid threads of melodic synth and
heavy bass. English men know how to do it.
35:11-40:35
SHADOWLANDS
(Portland)
Demons
— Siouxsie-sharp vocals singing in
incredibly dense, guitar-driven, emotional and sweet compositions
held tightly within dark lyrics.
40:36-44:22
PLEASURE POLICY
(CA)
Thousand Years of Tears
— Deeply baritone is always the vocal
of a vampire.
44:53-49:41
SINDICATO VERTICAL
(Spain)
Sweet Riot
— "You fucking lie." The lead singer
is super charismatic; talking, muttering, shouting, singing,
yelling. Everything I want from a man.
49:42-53:12
GRANE
(AU)
Sophia
— Australian punk and deathrock led
by a steel-edged female vocalist ala early Courtney
Love.
53:13-56:08
CLOSED MOUTH
(France)
never
— Prolific dark alternative band,
creeping a spider dance across a gloomy ocean.
56:08-END
DELILUH
(Toronto)
Lickspittle (A Nut In The
Paste)
— A theatrical poetic symphony of
instrumentation. Whimsical noise alternative, wholly
unique.
