PSYCHIC CIRCLE FESTIVAL PHOTO RECAP

Posted on May 17, '12 by ACTUAL PAIN.

In the dim hours of Monday morning our first annual Psychic Circle drew itself to a close, leaving behind the echoes of saw waves and creaky dance floors rattling around our weary yet ecstatic minds. The fest, born from our own wave night Second Sight, held the same modest credos as before - to bring the culture of dark music together that is spread too thin across our wonderful city. I can now say with confidence that Psychic Circle would've been entirely impossible without the support of the "Children of the Night" who filled up all four venues. You guys make this all worth doing and more importantly, it is YOU that makes Seattle a better place to live. Thank you!

And don't miss our next Second Sight party Friday June 8th at Electric Tea Garden with Wierd Records band Røsenkøpf (NYC) and a darkwave DJ set by none other than David J of Bauhaus / Love and Rockets. See you all there!

PSYCHIC CIRCLE - DAY 3 - DEMDIKE STARE

Posted on May 12, '12 by ACTUAL PAIN.

Psychic Circle rages on! Demdike Stare has crossed an ocean to haunt us with their unique form of macabre minimalism and we couldn't be more excited! If you're a fan of Giallo films and specifically their eerie, disheartening scores of terror, you won't want to miss this. All the way from Manchester Demdike Stare have been cutting a swath out of a death shroud all up the west coast on this their very first tour in the states. From what we've heard the rest of the west coast dates have been legendary. Do not sleep on this one.




Also performing two of our favorite bands at the moment - A Story of Rats and Tropic of Cancer (LA). See you all there!

PSYCHIC CIRCLE CONTINUES! LIGHT ASYLUM TONIGHT!

Posted on May 11, '12 by ACTUAL PAIN.

Last night was the first night of our four day mini-fest known as Psychic Circle and it was such a radical show! Thanks to Bruno from Light Asylum for coming out to DJ last minute and Braxton & Palmer absolutely shone. It was incredible, and if you didn't get a chance to get our new magazine DETHBOOK you can get one over at the shop now or you can pick one up in Seattle over at our favorite store Alive & Well. Thanks to all of you who came out and danced the night away with us! 

Day two starts tonight at 10pm at Electric Tea Garden with Litanic Mask and Light Asylum along with our resident Second Sight DJs. After seeing Light Asylum's amazing set last year at Neumos I am definitely psyched to see them at our small, loud-as-fuck, DIY club. It's going to be fucking great.


We will also have these beautiful silk screened festival posters available for sale tonight and at the next two shows - if they don't all get snatched up first - so if your interested pick one up before they vanish. Limited to 150 prints and measuring 18"x 28" these amazing CMYK prints we're hand screened by our friends over at Broken Press and we couldn't be more happy with the way they turned out. Absolutely stunning work guys.

That's all for now, we'll have an update for you all tomorrow about day 3 of our fest and specifically the insanely good band known as Demdike Stare.

Download the N|GHTCH|LDE Remix of "Happiness" by Greenhorse

Posted on April 23, '12 by ACTUAL PAIN.

Our good friend N|GHTCH|LDE just did a very futuristic and heavy remix of the song "Happiness" by the band Greenhorse. You can download it below from Soundcloud. They also sent me a picture of them hanging out on the beach that's really cool too. 

 


Here's the original (and hilarious) video for the Greenhorse song that they filmed at Burning Man. I heard they're not allowed to burn the man down there anymore, is that true? Oh, I forgot - I don't care.

Chaos in Tejas

Posted on April 18, '12 by ACTUAL PAIN.

As many of you have come to know being unwilling subjects of my constant ramblings on this blog - in addition to making clothes for your bodies - I also make music for your ears. Both of my bands, Cross and King Dude are playing Chaos in Tejas this year and I couldn't be more excited. The line ups for both nights are all-killer and no-filler so I expect to see many of you there!
