The despair doesn’t go much deeper than this.
New York minimal wave duo Xeno & Oaklander headline a night pitting Berlin’s Death Disco kids against our favourite high-style depressives Brave Exhibitions.
Supporting on the night are Blitzgigs faves Meuran Humanos (previously, previouslyer, previouslyest) along with US/UK solo act Nurvus, the new project from Robert M Fenner, formerly of noise project RMF-Noir and minimal synth two-piece No Kisses.
DJs of course come in the form of NecroPhil & Ian P. Christ (Death # Disco) Abby & Hayden (US band Dream Affair) & Blix (Brave Exhibitions).
The night also launches a new 16mm film from producer Liz Wendelbo, Sets & Lights featuring a minimal wave soundtrack from Sean McBride (Xeno & Oaklander / Martial Canterel).
To get you in the mood, here’s a mixtape put together by the wonderful people who are Xeno & Oaklander.
