The New Colossus Festival Presents: DIARY, BRUISER AND BICYCLE, LIPS OF STRANGERS
About This Event
The New Colossus Festival presents DIARY, BRUISER AND BICYCLE, and LIPS OF STRANGERS at Sleepwalk. DIARY has a footprint in downtown rooms such as Cassette and has collaborated with Carlos Truly, Dhemo, Key Hutch, Miles Hewitt, Andy Nicholl, Drawl, Slow Down Sunny and Untitled Freak. They work at the edges of free performance, treating familiar song structures as flexible prompts and shifting between electronic detail and open texture, favoring pacing over spectacle and drawing on darkwave, EBM and industrial lineages.
