The Black Rose Xperience

By Church of the Starry Wisdom

It’s a little bit of:

HORROR. ROMANCE. CULT. DRAMA. ACTION

Sounds like the holidays to us!

Sample songs from the album in which this event was inspired here.

 

“…Imagine a mutant lab experiment combining the DNA of Prince and David Bowie singing lead vocals for the Sisters of Mercy. This is some of the best goth-rock I’ve heard live in at least 10 years.” ¯Vertigo Xi’an Xavier

“...I feel like I’m hearing Bowie’s hidden f@#king songs right now…” ¯Jeri Sapronetti (Time Cat, Big Pop)

 

 

“It’s a mixture of David Bowie and funk in the best way possible.”¯Ryan Colin McGrew (Audio Engineer)

 

“Great emotional wide-scale songwriting; and fearless, passionate execution in live performance... This is a band that you'll remember; for all the right reasons.”— Dave Snodgrass (Rick Ray Band)

 

Part rock concert, part graphic novel, The Black Rose Xperience is a multi-media theatrical rock event that combines the music of Church of Starry Wisdom with an immersive cinematic narrative. Set in a dystopian America, this event explores themes of rebellion and revelation in a fallen civilization. Don't miss this unique exploration of revolution and redemption.

We asked the members of Church of Starry Wisdom to curate a playlist that connects to their show which includes one of their own compositions called “Yule Horror which you can check out along with their other picks here.
