Cruz)

opening up for the epic band She Past Away this past week.
Retro-goth with intense vocals and lyrics.

PINK TURNS BLUE
(Germany)
Tomorrow Never Comes

for 32 years playing moody goth-heavy darkwave with the most
romantic lead singer ever. This album, The AERDT - Untold Stories,
was released in 2016, and they finally tour in
September.

he is FINALLY touring 'cause dude is hailing from Aukland, and this
is one of my favorite songs, ever.
20:13-24:45
SHE PAST AWAY
(Turkey/Greece)
Yukseliyor Deniz
— One of the best modern goth bands,
the legendary lead singer is equipped with a unique low and deep
vocal. He breathes and you die. I was excited to see their show
last week completely sold out; the bay area represented
well.

THE HOWLING FOG

The Needle's Falling

upcoming album is heart-wrenching in all the best ways. The
vocalist is just incredible.

Больничные койки

from the middle of nowhere and recreating the gloom lined with
unique, somehow joyful AND melancholy melodies.
34:04-38:19
BOY HARSHER
(MA)
Fate
— One of my favorite bands, and they
are a duo from Western Mass! They are dance synth with a very dark
edge; and they shine in their instrumentals.
38:20-43:32
FACS
(Chicago)
In Time
— Chicago always has an influence.
This one is a weird, unexpected, stark and often minimalist,
industrial-influenced post-punk with a Chicago-influenced
avante-garde edge.
44:03-47:18
THOUGH LEADERS
(Oakland)
Unless Awake
— Romantic post-punk saturated with
shimmering melody created by LEGENDARY musicians in the Bay
Area.
47:18-52:26

Somewhere Below
— I wasn't expected the vocals to go
where it did, portions in this raspy metal-style.

Oxytocin
— The more popular band of the bunch,
a duo from Los Angeles creating a frothy new wave pop.

north.
