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.

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/

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.

Full line-up and performers list to be announced soon!) .::LEAETHERSTRIP::. LEAETHER STRIP is the solo-project of Danish electronic industrial artist Claus Larsen. First signed by the German Electro Label Zoth Ommog in 1989, LEAETHER STRIP quickly built a buzz as one of the most exciting emerging acts in Europe in the early '90s. After a very successful "Japanese Bodies" 12", the debut album ("The Pleasure of Penetration" " released in 1990) instantly established itself as a classic, featuring a punishing rhythm pace and aggressive electronic style with distorted vocals that he has since become renown for and that is often described as "LEAETHER STRIP"s trademark". The following albums and MCDs allowed LEAETHER STRIP to conquer the hearts of hundreds of thousands of fans of electronic industrial music across the world and to become one of the leading acts on the cult Zoth Ommog label. Both "Solitary Confinement" (1992) and "Underneath The Laughter" (1993) albums helped Claus Larsen establishing his position on the music map, reaching top sales in both the European and American electro scenes. While reminding the powerful angst seen in other electro acts such as FRONT 242, SKINNY PUPPY or even NINE INCH NAILS, LEAETHER STRIP rapidly got the reputation to be carrying a deeper message and meaning in his work through his very personal intense music and the sometimes emotional, sometimes political dimension of his lyrics. After a 5 year break from the music business, from 2000 - 2005, LEAETHER STRIP returned to the scene and since then have been very productive. 2009 Marked the return to the stage, and since then Claus and his partner have been playing shows around the world. LEAETHER STRIP shows are always very energetic and you can expect to hear songs from his whole repertoire. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Leaether-Strip/44724618037?ref=ts http://leaetherstrip.bandcamp.com/
