dark wave
#555 S14E20 Voidsinger
This week’s guests are industrial dark wave songsters Voidsinger. Casey Fritz and Rob Pelikan’s music is like Love and Rockets mixed with New Order and maybe a dash of Ministry’s With Sympathy. Incorporating hip hop and grunge and just about any genre they like. They have made ten albums in a year and a half. It’s freaking crazy. They chalk up their prolific output to chemistry.
Rob brings the goth new wave vibe and Casey brings the grunge and punk vibes both sharing a rebellious outsider point of view. They’re also joined by Casey’s computer, leaving them to figure out how they’d do a live show but that is definitely on their to do list. We had a great time getting to know Voidsinger and hearing their eclectic tunes. You can find them on all the usual platforms.
We play a fantastic round of the quiz and of course your upcoming hot shows.
It’s been great having our host with the most Reverend Rory back, in fact the whole original cast made it in this week. Always a treat.
ALSO, from the internet: Our friend and recent guest Dan Abbott of Bobby Joe Ebola & the Children MacNuggits has a kickstarter campaign in its last few days. Please consider donating and pre ordering their latest and most ambitious album yet. The musicianship is top notch and the comedy is hilarious. Link here: http://kck.st/45BqmyZ
Have a great week everyone and thanks for making us a part of it. Life is short and we love you.

S14E19 WITTIKKA- Dark Wavers
We are back with a brand new episode featuring dark wave goth vibers WITTIKKA.
This trio consists of Daniel on guitar Dave on drums and computer programs, and James on bass and vocals. Dave points out that James is the visionary front man providing lyrics as well. James insists it’s a group effort.
Their sound feels like early goth mixed with overdriven guitars, kind of like Swans. James and Daniel are brothers and found Dave through the magic of Craigslist. They’re a great match.
You can catch Wittikka with goth DJ Xenobia, Glitter Bats and L. A.’s AL1CE playing the Cellar Stage at Alturas July 20.
Kadillac Kim gives you the weekends hot shows and we welcome back for an exclusive 3-week engagement, ladies and gentlemen, Thee Reverend Rory Dowd! His band with Nick, One Ton Dually are playing TONIGHT with the Scoffs from Seattle and Riot Radio from Sac at the Cellar. We hope to see you there!
Life is short and we love you.
Thanks for listening.
