Having bid adieu to the hustle and bustle of New York, and greeted the rich culture of France with open arms, Charles Rowell, famed for his work with Crocodiles, Flowers of Evil, and Issue, set about fashioning a fresh start in 2020 with a new project,Crush of Souls. With a distinctive union of synthpop and gothic stylings, the band burst forth a darkly beguiling sound, both novel and nostalgic.
Imagine, if you will, Nick Cave’s melancholic melodies serenading Martin Rev’s minimalist electronic rhythm; it’s a sonic picture that merges the poetic gloom and industrial edginess. Think of the time when Stiv Bators, during The Lords of the New Church phase, would have found himself improvising in an unorthodox jam session with Wayne Hussey and Tony Wakeford. It’s an alluring thought, isn’t it? Crush of Souls embraces that spirit with an innovative fusion of musical influences that found harmony in their disparity. (post-punk.com)
Danse Macabre will be supporting with a DJ set.
DJ Catnip (they/them) and DJ Paste (he/they) as Danse Macabre (since 2010!) have been staples in clubs around Glasgow and Edinburgh. Regularly filling clubs with queer revellers, copious amounts of smoke, and their signature blend of goth and disco - the longest-running night of its kind in the UK.
Not confined to nostalgia, their mixes combine classic italo, 40 years of post-punk and wave, and a healthy dose of not taking yourself too seriously. Armed with vocal mixes, bass guitar, nice boots, a burning disdain for Morrissey, and a desire to turn all unsuspecting Glasgow club denizens into eyeliner enthusiasts: Danse Macabre are here to dim the lights, and play the finest drum machine sounds around. Two pints of cider and black, please.
