USA
death-rock stars – the one and the only gothic London After Midnight – will
perform in Moscow!
London
After Midnight are originators of the second wave of gothic rock. Within the
fans circle they are as much of a cult as Sisters of Mercy.
The leader
and the only permanent member Sean Brennan tries to avoid gothic label which
however has stuck to the project. His main interests are not vampire sagas but
fight against total control, animal protection and protest against psychology
of the modern consumer society. Despite all the above he still has time for
songs about sad love and dark side of human relationship, not to mention his
androgynous image.
The project
was founded in the USA in the beginning of 90-s and was named after the famous silentmystery film.
Yet before official records’ releases London After Midnight gained quite a
success by playing in Los Angeles clubs where the effect of their dark
other-worldly music was multiplied by the musicians’ unusual appearances and
giant spiders hanging down from the ceiling. Later the band used special videos
made by Sean himself on their shows.
On the
latest to the date album «The Violent Acts of Beauty» the band stepped away
from figurative lyrics and levels pretty direct criticism at American policy,
philistine indifference and ignorance.
Despite
prevailing gothic fan base Sean Brennan says he’d rather listen to Bob Dylan
than Marilyn Manson. He finds his inspiration in The Doors, T-Rex and David
Bowie music.
On 24th
of July you have a rare chance to travel to the dark side and plunge into the
world of authentic worries about the fate of the modern world, feel the bitter
taste of loss, live all human sins and repent and become purer together with
London After Midnight music!
Moscow
project Maestro Nosferatu will be the opening act of the show. The band was
founded in 2008 and its members describe their music as follows: “it’s a
fantastic combination of mystical electronic atmosphere, gothic exaltation and
cobwebs of glorious sound. Fire rhythm and alluring vocal give you and
incredible feeling comparable to tribal dance on a blade”.
