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. “…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
