Fri Dec 10 She Past Away
She Past Away! Darkwave, Gothic, Post-Punk! She Past Away is dark-wave with a reworked 80's sound. Signature guitar sound of the post-punk era, combined with minimalist poetry in Turkish. Often an outburst of sentimental anxiety through the nihilistic mind-frame, it is personal. Yet it is broad, a wondering mind brave enough to question taboo and existence.

Lord Nikon + Xenocircuit
Turbo Drive: Lord Nikon + Xenocircuit! Synthwave, Darksynth, Outrun, Midtempo, Industrial, Ebm! With a name inspired by the movie Hackers, Lord Nikon is a powerhouse of heavy, dark, atmospheric Synth music. A multi-instrumentalist who shreds on the guitar, as well his keyboard and synthesizer. A hometown hero from the Bay Area who blew us away when he played Turbo Drive earlier this year. We are overjoyed to welcome him back. A longtime friend of the Turbo Drive family, Xenocircuit is a radical take on a far-out idea.

Fri Feb 25 King Woman + Spiritual Cramp
King Woman + Spiritual Cramp! Rock, Shoegaze, Indie, Alternative, Drone, Doom! Never underestimate the power of a woman, especially if she's got goth-tinged lyrics, doom rock vibes, and vocals like a fallen angel. Dark and brooding, King Woman confronts lead singer Kristina's religious upbringing and near death experience - the entire KW catalog is a lesson about making art from self analysis. Backed by layers of post punk fuzz, pounding drums, and aggressive instrumentals, Kris' vocals devastate as much as her lyrics.
