May 24th, 2015 Small's and Darque Productions, LLC. welcome: Angelspit and The Gothsicles (official) and special guest Violet Void Doors @ 8pm .::ANGELSPIT::. Angelspit are a glorious pounding brutality from Zoog Von Rock and George Bikos – who’s high energy assault have earned them the reputation of being one of the most innovative alternative bands in the current crop. Synthesizers are slain, drum machines burn and samplers tortured as viscous guitars and corruptive beats are added to the mix. .::THE GOTHSICLES::. In recent years, Chicago's ultrasweaty industrial dance dorkstorm, THE GOTHSICLES, have played some of the most talked about live shows at some of the most premiere industrial music festivals around the globe. Compounding a ruinous mix of crass humor, video games and geek culture with an unapologetic EBM affinity, The Gothsicles' 2011 release "Industrialites & Magic" (WTII Records) reached the #1 spot on Amazon.com for "Most Downloaded" in the "Goth & Industrial" category. TIX: (On-Sale NOW!) Advance $10; Day of Show $13 http://www.smallsbardetroit.com All Ages Welcome FB Event Page: https://www.facebook.com/events/619192948181966/

Wednesday May 6th, 2015 Small's and Darque Productions, LLC. welcome Author & Punisher with special guests Ghost Synthesis and Vitriol Gauge Doors @ 8pm. 18+ welcome. Tickets: $7 in advance/$10 Day of Show. (Advance Tickets via http://www.smallsbardetroit.com ) .:: Author & Punisher ::. Iconoclastic in the truest sense of the word, Tristan Shone inverts the tenets of doom metal completely, relying on cold steel and soulless machinery to sonically replicate the despondency of life. Described most succinctly as “industrial doom,” this one-man project utilizes primarily custom designed and fabricated machines and speakers. From Shone’s background and current position as a mechanical engineer, his designs and devices draw heavily on aspects of industrial automation and robotics with also a focus upon the eroticism of interaction with machine. The machines are designed to require significant force from the performer, aligning he/she with the plodding doom-influenced sounds that are created. .:: Ghost Synthesis ::. Ghost Synthesis is Detroit Composer/Producer Jeff Rebrovich. A Schizophrenic blend of Genre's ranging from Electronic Influences, Alternative Rock, Classical, Soul, Industrial, etc,...All with Cinematic tendencies. Whether it's ominous sound design, contradictory, soul infused choir rants, atop a cinematic back alley landscape, or classically influenced arrangements. Ghost Synthesis is a little bit of what you may know, and a whole lot more of what you may not expect. .:: Vitriol Gauge ::. Vitriol Gauge is a project founded on the genres of Noise, Drone, Death Ambient and first wave Industrial sound. The atmosphere of the tracks may vary, but the reason for creating the music remains the same. Be who you really are and say what you believe, no matter who you insult or hurt. Don't silence yourself for popularity or friendship. FB Event Link: https://www.facebook.com/events/950588288299115/

Jesus and Mary Chain announced the North American tour dates for the 'Psychocandy' 30th Anniversary tour and Detroit made the routing! Sunday, May 3rd 2015 at St. Andrew's Hall!

March 29th, 2015 Small's and Darque Productions present the "Speak in Storms 2015 North American Tour" featuring Seabound Architect and special guest Ghost Synthesis Doors @ 8pm. All Ages Welcome. Tickets: (ON-SALE SOON via www.smallsbardetroit.com STAY TUNED!) $12 in Advance/$15 Day of Show. .::SEABOUND::. Seabound, the moniker under which the duo of Frank Spinath (vocals) and Martin Vorbrodt (electronics) collaborate, is one of the most highly regarded acts in the dark electronic scene. A unique ability to combine cutting edge, modern music and emotional vocals and lyrics to create an atmospheric, compelling work separate Seabound from its contemporaries. Speak In Storms is possibly Seabound’s strongest effort to date. It is cohesive, with the ominous tension started in early tracks like “For Life” and “Contraband.” The tension keeps building through to the danceable “Everything,” which seems to be a deep exhalation of breath, a release. The relief is short lived, as “Lair” builds once again from the darker atmospherics, taking the listener once again into the moody world of Seabound. Speak in Storms is a compelling piece of work; it’s the sound of broken dreams, of loss and anger, and, of course, love. .::ARCHITECT::. architect is a unique hybrid of idm, electronica and smooth ambient soundscapes inexhaustibly explored by german mastermind daniel myer. in a career spanning over fifteen years daniel has been connected to but never belonged to a host of scenes and styles. architect was created in 1998 and has since proven his mettle on a multitude of releases and on countless acclaimed concerts world-wide. in 2010 alan wilder (recoil) discovered architect's brilliance, which led to daniel performing as a support act for recoil on several acclaimed shows in europe and the united states. architects most pronounced quality is the accomplished combination of powerful grooves and atmospheric soundscapes resulting in music that is suitable for both listening and dancing. architect's sixth full length album 'mine' constitutes an appreciable shift in direction compared to his previous works by adding compositional and instrumental innovations brand new to this project. .::GHOST SYNTHESIS::. Ghost Synthesis is Detroit Composer/Producer Jeff Rebrovich. Whether it's ominous sound design, contradictory, soul infused choir rants, atop a cinematic back alley landscape, or classically influenced arrangements. Ghost Synthesis is a little bit of what you may know, and a whole lot more of what you may not expect. All glued together with the basic formula of…..It's gotta get your attention, it's gotta keep your attention, and it has to have a groove.
