The new episode of the CEREMONY audio podcast is up! In the spirit of the moment, the new episode is all about anti-fascist, anti-racist, anti-sexist, pro-LGBTQ, anti-war, and anti-capitalist songs that have been made by Gothic Rock and Dark Postpunk bands. There are newer dark bands (Tears for the Dying, Christ vs Warhol, Final Rites, Shadow Age) alongside foundational bands (Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Cure, Killing Joke), and others. 🦇 There’ll be some “liner notes” (or article) about the rationale / methodology behind choosing these particular songs, and that article will be published on a separate website some time soon. This is not an exhaustive song list, and in fact there may be a Part 2. 🖤 CEREMONY is a monthly club night at The Nines in Deep Ellum in Dallas, Texas. The next event is Wednesday, June 10th, 2020.
