GOTH NIGHT!

The Treasury is the project of Troy Hancock of Richmond, VA. Cutting his teeth initially in the Raleigh NC punk scene, Hancock relocated to Richmond in 2018 and began to focus on experimenting with synths and drum machines. Following a revelatory Richmond show supporting EBM stalwarts Kontravoid and Lunacy, Hancock solidified his new, aggressive sound, combining a love for 1990s techno, post-punk, EBM, and Synth-punk into a unique and hard-hitting whole.

Excepter is a New York experimental electronic band. Founded 2002 by former No-Neck Blues Band member John Fell Ryan. Brought NNCK ethos of extended low technique free improvisation and street theater into the sound world of techno hardware: synthesizers, sequencers, drum machines, dub effects. Releases on Fusetron, Load, Kill Rock Stars, Paw Tracks, Blast First Petite, Escho. Turned accolades like Pitchfork Best New Music and cover of The Wire Magazine into reasons to go further underground. Currently operating out of Hudson Valley NY as an eternalist synth pop duo with mononymous singer, composer Lala. A new LP titled "Displacer" will be released on Excepter Records early 2026

From the outset, Clock Serum’s Contrast EP is tough. It’s four-on-the-floor body music with muscle and incessant energy—a collection of four tracks that embrace dramatic, driving percussion and volatile vocals by producer Andrew Wang. Side A begins with “Ghost”’s tenacious EBM bassline that creates a forceful headiness in contrast to elegant synth pads that lift the track from its filthiness. “Contrast,” the lead single, takes its vivacity from the likes of analog heroes Crash Course in Science with bouncy percussive elements. Wang’s punk-influenced vocals are the focus: “Put myself through hell, does it help?” he asks. “Who do I tell when you fall?”

A far cry from the cool, calculated distance and reserved posture that is all-too-familiar to the indie-rock sphere, Florry, the Philly-bred septet and songwriting vehicle of bandleader Francie Medosch, are marking their territory as a band resolving to do something very different: they are having a really good time out there.

Cutting her teeth in the Philadelphia DIY scene starting in 2019 as a student at Temple University, the early days of Florry found Medosch at the end of her teenage years releasing a slew of singles and EP’s in a familiar idiom of lo-fi bedroom recordings tinged with country melancholy. A lot has changed since then. Most importantly, perhaps, the project snowballed into a barn-burning seven piece rock band in the proceeding years; and without sacrificing any of the emotional immediacy that's come to define Medosch’s brashly earnest, bleeding-heart lyrical style, you’re unlikely to find her lingering as much on the melancholy these days. Or, as Medosch plainly puts it in regards to Sounds Like... , the band’s forthcoming LP:

As a multi-instrumentalist and producer, ASHER WHITE's auteurish pop vision is vulgar and transcendent: marrying skittering noise with swooping strings, lively banjo with blasts of feedback, dissonant flutes with elegant bossa nova. Since the early 2010s she has developed a sprawling discography that spans experimental drone, tropicalia, noise rock, and folk. Her heartfelt and compulsively inclusive aesthetic is often informed by her transness, her Jewish spirituality, and her ongoing negotiations with hedonism.

DEATHLESS FOREVER is an experimental two piece from South Windsor, Connecticut.

"Nape Neck is the kind of band that makes you want to play in a band." - Arnold de Boer, The Ex

Nape Neck (Leeds, UK) sprouts up in the agitprop section of the record store, the area where movement—geographical, calisthenic, revolutionary—is necessary. As humanity pushes against the limits of technological utopianism, Nape Neck brings you back to your body, its place in the public sphere and what it means to be a functioning person within the confines that society has erected to contain you. With every stinging guitar line, coiled bass riff and well-placed drum hit, Nape Neck is outlining a means of resistance, without sacrificing the pleasures of the flesh. The trio operate like a well-oiled machine, interlocking at odd angles then moving in perfect concert to achieve their goals. This kind of poetic clamor is a different kind of rock music, one indebted to pioneers such as The Ex, Big Flame and Red Monkey.

Beech Creeps will tsunami you. This frenetic scuzzy art rock trio is a supergroup consisting of heavy hitting rock veterans Mark Shue (Guided By Voices), Brian Chase (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), and Zach Lehrhoff (Ex Models).

$500 is a newish Hudson Valley noisey punk band!

A fall gothy evening of coldwave and 80s sleaze

Ronnie Stone masterfully bridges the past and future with his unique brand of contemporary synth-pop that seamlessly blends nostalgia with the cutting-edge of modern dance music. His latest album, Ride Again (Feeltrip Records), is the culmination of a decade spent dwelling in the shadows at nightclubs and warehouse parties. Inspired by the solace and epiphanies he found on the dance floor, he blends New Wave with the groovy and persistent infectiousness of Techno and House. Ronnie and his performance bandmate, Rosa Luna are passionate about creating an immersive environment in which to showcase their art and music. Their fogged-out spaces and intricate light show act as a portal into Ronnie’s retro-dystopian nightclub fantasy.

Helm is Luke Younger, a London-based sound artist and musician. He has released five studio albums and three EPs of textural experimental music, exploring a relationship between acoustic, electronic and real-world sounds. His first album ‘To An End’ was released on his own label ALTER in 2010. Influenced by 20th century electroacoustic music and Britain’s esoteric post-industrial underground, the record contained two long-form pieces that mixed haunting, respiratory-themed tape music with warm meditative ambience. ‘Cryptography’ followed a year later via Graham Lambkin’s KYE as a five-part suite of glacial drone, reconfigured gamelan clusters and searing metallic resonance. Warmly received by the press and underground community alike, it helped to establish him as a serious new voice in experimental music.

Performer, Composer, Improviser, Trumpeter Chris Ryan Williams is an interdisciplinary artist and musician based in Brooklyn, NY. His work takes the form of electroacoustic composition and performance installation, dealing with the decoding of family history, ambience, and time-space compression.

Live in concert and recorded, his works are available in high-definition stereo and full-frontal honesty.

As a recording artist, he largely self-produces, expertly engineering every facet of his music. Within his releases, his songs' concepts and sounds can range from crooning ballads about a failed relationship funneled through depressed jitters of caffeine to anthemic, 808-heavy take-downs of environmental racism.

Tropical Fuck Storm are an Australian rock band and supergroup from Melbourne, Victoria, formed by Gareth Liddiard and Fiona Kitschin from The Drones. Lauren Hammel, from the band High Tension, plays drums, and Erica Dunn, from the bands Mod Con, Harmony, and Palm Springs, plays guitars, keyboards, and other instruments. Their sound is characterised by elements of art punk, noise rock and experimental rock.

Known for his work touring with the Australian guitar pop band Thigh Master and the late, brilliantly eccentric guitarist Charlie Megira, currently the focus of a number of reissues by the Numero Group, Beach is the architect of a sound that is both well-built and ramshackle, straightforward and indeterminably complex, out of the norm yet familiar in all the best ways.

MEMORIALS, the duo consisting of Verity Susman and Matthew Simms (previously of Electrelane and Wire), create panoramic pop that draws on both the familiar and the strange, while also treading new ground. With their playful and experimental style, combined with a love of good tunes, they sit comfortably alongside Broadcast, Portishead, Arthur Russell, The Velvet Underground, Yo La Tengo and Tortoise. They are currently on tour supporting Stereolab and lucky for us they happen to have an off night.

‘Memorial Waterslides’ is the debut album from MEMORIALS. This is an otherworldly, surrealist pop record that is both timeless and timely, displaying a rare mix of classic songwriting and avant-garde attitudes.

The album is awash with imagery evoking a lost future, a veiled present and a daydreamed past, each song playing a role in creating a swirling, widescreen atmosphere, the listener taken along for the ride. Produced entirely by the two of them, the sound of the record was inspired by the reel-to-reel tape experiments they first played around with onstage as they began to develop their multi-layered recordings for live performances as a duo.

Following their acclaimed 2023 soundtracks ‘Women Against The Bomb’ and ‘Tramps!’, a European tour with Stereolab (they’ve been called “Stereolab’s evil twin”) and a new music commission from the Centre Pompidou in Paris, Verity and Matthew arrived at MEMORIALS in reverse, escaping their soundtracking day jobs to create cosmic journeys through the garden shed into psychedelic rock, far-out folk and wild analogue electronics.

“Everything you’d expect from a duo adept in the strange and esoteric, while also in thrall to pop music’s melodic bent.” - The Quietus

“Animal, Surrender!” is Peter Kerlin (Sunwatchers and Chris Forsyth & Solar Motel Band) and drummer Rob Smith (Grey/Smith, Rhyton, Pigeons, D. Charles Spear). Kerlin leads the duo through a set of bass-driven compositions and interpretations, incorporating spare electronics through a post-rock/weird-folk trance with intricate and sometimes blasted interplay between the rhythm section.

"Slowcore meets Americana on this distinctive indie-rock debut." - Review in Uncut Mag (8 out of 10) 
”Something this searchingly pretty shouldn't need to shout to be heard." - Creem Mag

"The Clearwater Swimmers debut eponymous album is an instant classic: a bold addition to the new American rock canon." - The Line of Best Fit

The Clearwater Swimmers is the primary songwriting vehicle for Sumner Bright, a multi-instrumentalist based in NYC and Portland, ME. Joined by Timothy Graff on drums, Sander Casale on lead guitar, and Connor Kennedy on bass, the group takes the most-often acoustic, at-home demos of Bright and shifts them into wading, contemplative alternative rock. Split between NYC, ME, NH, and MA, when they come together, the group draws comparisons to Crazy Horse's ”Zuma" era, Acetone, and other folk rock moguls from the 90s and early 2000s.

Dummy — the Los Angeles band comprised of Alex Ewell, Emma Maatman, Nathan O’Dell, and Joe Trainor — announces its new album, Free Energy, out September 6th on Trouble In Mind Records, and shares the lead single/video, “Nullspace.” Pop has always been a big part of Dummy’s sound, but it manifests differently on Free Energy. Sometimes it’s quite literal (and funny), such as the bubbly synth sequence made with a Korg EM1 popping all over lead single “Nullspace,” which features a melody written by O’Dell and is the song the band calls the record’s “sonic mission statement and really influenced by Mark Van Hoen, especially the cut-up dreamy dance-pop he was making on the Locust record Morning Light.”

Empath is an American noise punk band. They have released one album and several EPs, and are currently signed to Fat Possum Records.

New Orthodox is led by New York state-based multi-instrumentalist Nicholas Merz. The band's ethos leans heavily into minimalist repetition, sonic experimentation, and lyrical insights that give way to live performances and recordings that utilize space and silence to imitate the human experience.

Guerilla Toss met in 2012, crawling out of the skronky psychedelic punk fairytale that was their Boston DIY scene. Now based in New York, the currently touring and always recording art rock band have fully crystalized their brilliantly unhinged music. Along the way, they’ve played alongside Built to Spill and Parquet Courts, Os Mutantes and Mdou Moctar. And they’ve toured all around the world, hitting every festival from Pitchfork in London, to Treefort, to the Primavera Weekender to Pickathon.

In 2022, the band’s colorful dance punk took the form of Famously Alive, their Sup Pop debut. The record is the latest iteration of a carefully honed vision, an exploration of what it means to be alive (famously), to survive, to find strength in that survival, to be happy. The record was a revelation. A lazy river ride done while wielding a jackhammer. Electroclash by way of fucked up no wave. ESG by way of PiL by way of Brian Eno by way of Sonic Youth. Not long after, the band went on tour with Pavement, playing some of the biggest venues of their career.

His latest album, Songs In My Pocket Like Grains of Sand, marks a shift toward a more intimate, solo-driven process that pairs arhythmic and austere production with clarion vocals. The show will feature a brand new lineup featuring Jared Ashdown (Openhead) and Kim Anderson.
