Dark Entries: Goth Radio

We also discussed the big Halloween in July show at the Art Bar and did a little set involving some of those bands.

6/14/2021

In this one, we got into some new releases and also knocked out a set made up of bands that are currently on tour. Then, we got a lot a little weirder in the second half, as we tend to do. Enjoy!

Quick note: There was a weird recording glitch that caused the audio to drop out in a few spots, which resulted in some choppiness. I tried to smooth it over the best I could in editing, but you'll notice a little bit of choppiness and skipping here and there, mostly just when I'm talking in the beginning. Apologies!

So with this one, we changed gears a little bit.

We also work in a set made up of artists from one of my favorite labels at the moment - Swiss Dark Nights. Dig it!
