Entry Requirements: 18+
BLOOD HANDSOME
Blood Handsome is the Los Angeles based darkwave project of Gerren Reach. Since debuting, he has continued to forge a path of his own, having extensively toured the US and shared stages with acts such as Kontravoid, Buzz Kull, The Soft Moon, Twin Tribes, Actors, Spike Hellis, Geneva Jacuzzi, and more. The 2022 album "A New Calm" solidified the project's stamp on the genre. Signed to German-based label Young & Cold Records, anticipation is building after the announcement of a new album on the way and new band members joining Blood Handsome live.

XTR HUMAN
Born in fire and tempered in the batcaves and warehouse raves of Berlin, Johannes Stabel brings a leather-wrapped hammer to gothic nightlife. A Don amongst the burnt strobes, grime-soaked venues and endless nights of Berlin, Stabel is revered for his high-energy performances as XTR HUMAN. His deeply rich and arresting vocals herald back to the dark romance of ‘80s legends, while a mere flex of his fists send brutal blasts of bass scurrying, emotional coldwave terminated beneath a furioso of modernized hardbody EBM beats that put the Schwarz in Schwarzenegger.

STRANGE FUTURES
Strange Futures (Alastair Power, Alice Sheridan) came into existence at the beginning of 2021 in Bristol, UK. Emerging from somewhere between euphoric darkwave and melancholic synthpop, this is a soundtrack for an uncertain future - for both the bleak and the good times.
