Clan of Xymox, Cold Cave
About This Event
Dutch darkwave act Clan of Xymox, led by founder Ronny Moorings, appears at Pioneer Works with Cold Cave, the solo project of Wesley Eisold. Both acts draw on early‑1980s darkwave and post‑punk — Clan of Xymox through its 4AD-era lineage and a charting U.S. single, Cold Cave via drum‑machine propulsion and stark bass — and present atmosphere-driven sets that favor mood and structure.
About the Artists
Clan of Xymox
Clan of Xymox is a Dutch rock/pop group formed in 1981, widely associated with the early darkwave movement. The project first gained notice in the 1980s through releases connected to the 4AD scene, later moving into U.
Cold Cave
Cold Cave is the solo project of musician Wesley Eisold, working in the space between rock/pop structure and the colder edges of darkwave and synth-driven post-punk. The project’s palette nods to early-1980s touchstones, with stark bass lines and drum-machine propulsion often placed against a haze of noise.
