Live Band - Sonic Youth Cult

Set One

Sonic Youth Cult will sink their fangs into the Vampire Ball, conjuring a sonic underworld where jagged guitars scream like banshees and pulsing rhythms echo through eternal night. Their sound is a velvet-draped collision of raw noise and gothic grandeur—think shattered chandeliers and moonlit rebellion woven into every chord. With vocals that snarl and soar, they channel the hunger of the undead, blending haunting melodies with chaotic riffs that feel like a dance with death itself. Songs like "Blood Static" and "Midnight Vein" are anthems for the damned, perfect for a ball where shadows waltz and desire burns red. When Sonic Youth Cult takes the stage, expect a performance that's both primal and hypnotic—a call to lose yourself in the vampire's endless revelry.

Live Band - Chaos 8

Set Two

"A definitive hard driven guitar sound and dark swirling synths give you atmospheric textures that truly bring out brutal, beautiful and oppressive moods that encapsulate every single song. 

They launched their first album "Burn" at their debut gig in 2014, followed by "Cause & Effect" in 2016. This has also been released on limited edition red vinyl. Three EP's have followed, "Out Of Control" in 2018 "She Is Coming" in 2019 and the latest "One Last Kiss" in 2021. 

Their brand new album is expected in late 2025. They have played many gigs and festivals in the UK, Ireland, France and Germany with many radio plays on BBC Introducing, HRH Radio and local stations. Their diverse fan base include lovers of rock, metal, goth, industrial and punk."
