GLOM FEST's polyglot nocturnal liturgy brings deathrock, darkwave artists from around the globe - 48 hills
"That vision became the seed of The Cemetary Girlz, the band AlienSPagan founded in 2006. For nearly 20 years, its music has carried the atmosphere of that moment-eerie, melancholic, but strangely comforting. On Sat/13, when The Cemetary Girlz step onto the stage of DNA Lounge, the venue itself will become a mausoleum of sound, part of the inaugural GLŌM FEST: a touring funeral procession of goth, deathrock, post-punk, and darkwave artists from both sides of the Atlantic."
"'GLŌM FEST exists to give independent artists from across the world a shot at reaching audiences they've never had access to,' says chief creative officer Vara Pappas. 'That kind of opportunity doesn't come easy, especially in darker genres like goth, post-punk, and deathrock. These bands have loyal followings overseas but have never set foot on a US stage. We're here to change that.'"
The Cemetary Girlz began from AlienSPagan's childhood memory of a gothic woman reading on a grave and formed in 2006. The band's nearly two decades of music evoke eerie, melancholic, and comforting atmospheres. GLŌM FEST is an inaugural touring festival showcasing goth, deathrock, post-punk, and darkwave artists from both sides of the Atlantic. San Francisco's lineup at DNA Lounge includes The Awakening, Aeon Sable, Dark Chisme, The Royal Ritual, Soft Vein, and The Cemetary Girlz. The festival aims to give independent international artists access to new U.S. audiences and leverages San Francisco's countercultural musical legacy.
