This week WIERD proudly welcomes the long-overdue return of Cult of Youth for a live performance at midnight! As everyone knows COY performances are far beyond Very Rare, and when his VRexcellency the sinister heat-seeking pleasure machine that is M Sean Ragon is in the house seeds will undoubtedly be planted, so swagger on into the WIERD world and ready your fierce little fertile selves for the reaping! Also for those of you who were fortunate enough to catch the debut of Cult of Youth in the WIERD earlier this year, Sean now has a kick ass full on band in tow featuring none other than WIERD’s own Glenn Maryansky of Blacklist on percussion!
In honor of the coming of the Neofolk this week, we also welcome our beloved selecteurs d’ambiance Xeno and Oaklander who will provide a lovely background of appropriately restrained hedonism for the evening’s festivities…Rumour has it the elusive Ms Xeno is secretly one of NYC’s true connoisseurs of the genre, so expect not simply the obvious skipping stylus on the Rose Clouds of Noddycaust, but also truly excellent trax from the likes of Les Joyaux de la Princesse, Brigade Internationale, and Derniere Volonte flickering shiny black in the frozen foggy haze all night long…And perhaps if you’re all dressed to VRepress and eminently ‘smart’ in your requests she’ll provide us with a little preview of the forthcoming X&O LP we’ve all been waiting for forever it seems…VR
Lastly for anyone out there who is perhaps a bit visually inclined WIERD now has a YouTube channel and we’ve loaded a few new freshly edited videos this week courtesy of the amazing Videological talents of Mr
Stephen Musgrave who has joined Ms. Naomi Ramirez as the official WIERD documentariennes extrordinaires!
Enjoy the sounds of the cold, wintery world:
