Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Are Dame Area the best live band in the world right now? Must-see provocateurs of incendiary synthwave, contact mic-ed metal yelps and live drumming on an inspired En Masse concoction with ethereal grime-laced dream-rapper Iceboy Violet and live industro-dub improv chaos from Dark IDL. Gonna be thrilling FFO: Boy Harsher, Mykki Blanco, Yves Tumor, Throbbing Gristle."

A gig held at Loco Klub on Thursday 16th November. The event starts at 19:30.
As one of our highlight nights from En Masse 2022, we are thrilled to be back at Loco Klub this year on Thursday 16th November.
This year, the night will weave in between dark ambient, post-industrial, synth-pop, blurry-eyed spoken word and distortion.
Opening up we have 3 of Bristol’s key collaborators, ready to max out on dubbed out FX, riffled with feedback and oozing with modular madness & eerie vocals.
Following that, we have an artist that’s been on our radar for a hot sec.. A rapper, performer and producer with a cross genre approach and of northern spirit. They’ve recently released a killer new album stirring ambient-grime, noise and melting textures, showcasing true depth and earnest qualities. We can’t wait to hear and see them perform in the flesh..
Seeing out the night we have a duo who are a central component in Spain’s experimental scene. Known for deploying compulsive minimal synth, primal polyrhythms and uniquely reconstruing elements of post-punk, EBM and industrial into their explosive live sets.
RUNNING ORDER:
Dark IDL
IceBoy Violet
Dame Area
