Velvet Lounge Show This Sunday

We got a huge show coming up this weekend at the Velvet Lounge. Check the details and links. We're also heading into WMUC 88.1 to do a recording session with Sean Gray (Fan Death Records). We'll keep you posted about the results.

So here we go:

From Washington Post Blog:
Cold wave - it's not that hard to figure out what it is. It's like new wave but ... colder. Okay, that's an over-simplification of the disaffected, dark, synth-heavy music that starting dripping out of Europe in the '70s and '80s but, hey, we're blurbing here. It's mopey and dramatic and people who wear black dig it. Sean Gray (who helps run local label Fan Death Records) and Denman Anderson (who DJs No Control! and contributes to local blog All Our Noise) will be your DJ guides through No Love Lost, their new Cold Wave DJ night that debuts Sunday at Velvet Lounge. There is an appropriate collection of bands playing upstairs, including local shoegaze/noise-makers Screen Vinyl Image and Indianapolis's We Are Hex, who play icy and spiky post-punk with well-placed bursts of mayhem.
