ARKHAM SUNSET (Album Release!), Mnemonic Pulse, Lies We Were Told – 21+
ARKHAM SUNSET, the electronic project led by Portland based producer Gerry Hathaway, blends cinematic layers of industrial, synth-pop, EBM and dark ambient textures for a uniquely stimulating experience. The sound is driven by a select merge of analog and digital synthesizers and drum machines. His passion for vintage horror and sci-fi subtly influences the themes woven throughout his music. Hathaway has spent nearly a decade developing his unique sound, releasing three full length albums and half a dozen EPs. His latest album, “Beneath”, released in fall, 2024 is widely regarded as his strongest material to date. Arkham Sunset performances are an immersive visual experience, brought to life by artist Lee Ann Hathaway, Gerry’s wife, who designs and manages the lighting, stage elements and video projections. Together they craft a dynamic atmosphere that blends innovative music with retro-futuristic visuals. Mnemonic Pulse is the Portland-based post-industrial/ambient void artist Caitlin Love. As a longtime musician/experimental artist in bands such as Hot Victory, Desert City Soundtrack, and Duo of Destruction (to name a few), Love broke out on their own in early 2019 with the eponymous Mnemonic Pulse release. Under the MP moniker Love conjures up undulating sonic masses with serene loops and melodic sequences clashing with broken glass samples and distorted rhythms. Lies We Were Told: Heavy and melodic, pulling from post-punk, darkwave, pop and gothic themes. Their sound, though unique, is reminiscent of earlier bands like Killing Joke and Joy Division, evoking a sound from another era, while remaining at home alongside modern bands in the post-punk revival camp.
The Clotheshorse Podcast – 21+
AboutClotheshorse. Clotheshorse began as a podcast on a mission to pull back the curtain of glamour and mystery that obscures the real truths about the clothing we buy. After all, clothing is a basic need. It keeps us warm and protects us from the sun. Yet it can be an addiction, and certainly a way we show the world exactly who we dream of being. Shopping is both a hobby and a social activity, so it’s no wonder that the average American buys a new piece of clothing every 5.5 days! We spend so much money looking at clothes, buying clothes, and talking about clothes. Do we know the true price of our clothes? Who makes them? How are they made? The answers to these questions contain some very dark truths and many extremely toxic practices. Clotheshorse explores them all. Over time, Clotheshorse has evolved into an exploration of life in late state capitalism, from our experiences as workers to our relationship with consumerism.

SOLD OUT: Trueblood – Early Show – All Ages!
Sean Nicholas Savage w/ Crystal Quartez – EARLY SHOW! – 21+
Playwright, director and singer songwriter Sean Nicholas Savage has returned to a pop palette with his most brilliant batch of classic ballads to date. His new album, “The Knowing” is a pivot; at once more subversive and yet more fashionable than ever before. Savage engaged several collaborators on this record. Longtime accomplice Pascal Chenard recorded and produced the record with Savage in London, England, where Savage was born. The lead single, “Your Drug”, a reflective duet with Arbutus Records label mate Marci, both familiar and yet with an edgy bareness that allows it to recontextualize its nostalgic trope. Belgian singer songwriter David Numwami played guitar on the songs “Stranger Than Fiction” and “Wild Things” and artist JJ Weihl aka Discovery Zone co-wrote “Pink Bouquet”. Cleverly tucked into the tracklist is a tender cover of Iggy Pop’s “Lust For Life”, somehow appropriately strummed softly in the vein of Green Days’ “Good Riddance”. Sean Nicholas Savage worked with Lulannie for the album artwork photos, which they took on their way out to a New Years Eve 2025 party in New York City. The song “I Love Everything About You” is about their relationship. Sean Nicholas Savage’s “The Knowing” is out on June 27th 2025 via Born Losers Records and Mansions & Millions.
