A Murder of Crows Festival — live event
Kite: Kite creates a dark wonderland of droning synthesizers and throbbing beats, full of majestic melodies. With spectacular lights, breathtaking projections and sometimes cat statues shooting laser beams from their eyes – Kite´s live show has given them a reputation as one of the best live bands not only in Sweden but in the entire world. Frank the Baptist: Frank the Baptist, a genre-crossing rock/post-punk band, emerged from the southern California dark alternative scene in the late-nineties, an unpredictable and refreshing voice that was soon embraced by the goth scene. Founder Frank Vollmann, originally hailing from New Jersey, brought a vitality and immediacy to his music, indicative of the energetic punk and early alternative that molded his youth. 2003 saw the release of the band’s first full-length album, Different Degrees of Empty, cementing their notion that the dark music world should be a place of kicker boots, cranked amps, and skewed top hats as much as a refuge for poet shirts and ethereal echoes. By 2006 the group was based in Berlin, Germany and international concerts had become commonplace. Several albums and multiple European tours later, Frank the Baptist stands as a band the counterculture can count on. They don’t belong to a fad. They didn’t ride a single wave of fashion. They don’t mind which way the future turns. Theirs is an easy confidence that comes from making something we’ll always need: a timeless beat, an eternal vocal, rising above the mess of bands that live and die away below, in the maelstrom. In 2023, the 20th anniversary remastered version of Different Degrees of Empty (with bonus tracks) was released on the aufnahme+wiedergabe label. The 2024 lineup featuring past members Fez Wrecker and Scott Evans is touring Eastern Europe this spring in support of Me and That Man, with whom Frank sang and collaborated on their latest release. Bootblacks: Brooklyn Post-Punk. “Thin Skies” out now on Artoffact Records. New album coming *very* soon. Christ V. Warhol: All is not well in Los Angeles: beyond the perfectly manicured lawns and pre-fab buildings, between the corporate media hype and pharmaceutical ads, a sense of unrest grows. Threatening to tip the delicate balance of artifice and apathy off it’s axis. It is this climate that birthed Christ vs. Warhol — art school sedition with guitars instead of guns. The Neuro Farm: The Neuro Farm is a darkwave gothic rock band based in Washington DC. Combining vocal harmony with soaring violin melodies, driving rhythm guitar, and ethereal sonic textures, their music has been described as hauntingly beautiful. The Neuro Farm draws on influences such as Joy Division, Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Sigur Ros, Chelsea Wolfe, Portishead, and Rammstein.
