I Just Read About That…

[DID NOT ATTEND: February 27, 2024] Twin Temple / Vowws

I saw Twin Temple two years ago when they opened for Ghost.  I said

I don’t really like the music as I don’t like doo-wop, but I was all in for the spectacle.  And wow, what a spectacle.

The band came out of stage: drums, bass, keys and a big old tenor sax.  After riffing for a bit, the two main persons in the band came out on stage in their full satanic regalia.

and concluded

It was an amazing visual experience and it was an a jam packed 25 minutes.  I even enjoyed the music by the end.

I was minorly intrigued to see what they would do as headliners, but not enough to actually go to the show.

I had heard of VOWWS but I guess I didn’t know them.  This review from Revolver says they

usually perform in near darkness, with the only light coming from a movie projector aimed at the stage. The Australian duo — singer-guitarist Matt James and singer-keyboardist Rizz — mostly play bent over their instruments in dark glasses and long black coats, crafting their brooding, deeply melodic “death pop” from the shadows.

Their music is nowhere near as dark as this makes it sound.  They remind me a lot of Black Celebration Depeche Mode.  Kind of cool and spooky synthy.

I guess maybe this would be a fun show.
