Julien- K, NITE, & Warm Gadget at The Domino Room

Emerging from the ashes of Orgy, founding members Amir Derakh and Ryan Shuck continued with a sound familiar to any fan of their former group. Ominous, dark, and a little sexy, their earliest material arrived in 2003, while their official debut album, Death to Analog, landed in 2009. The band’s sophomore LP, We’re Here with You, arrived in 2012. Relying on successful crowdfunding, Julien-K released the two-part California Noir series in 2014 and 2015, and delivered their fifth set, Harmonic Disruptor, in 2020. The band has now become one of the most successful direct to fan crowd funding acts in the world, with their 6th “all electronic” album DRK|MODE on track to be released in 2024. The first 3 DRK|MODE singles have proven to be some of the bands most successful to date. NITE NITE is an alternative band inspired by the sounds of Darkwave, Synthpop, and Post-Punk. Based in Texas, twin brothers Myles and Kyle Mendes craft music that bridges the gap between dark nostalgia and modern electronic pop. Their recent singles have gained viral traction on social media, with their track All Your Pain earning a spot on Spotify’s Dark and Gothic playlist and further cementing their reputation as a band to watch. Fresh off tours with Dead on a Sunday, The Funeral Portrait, Small Black, Empathy Test, and Mystery Skulls, NITE has captivated audiences across the country with their magnetic live performances. Whether crafting songs about love, loss, or resilience, NITE continues to illuminate the darker corners of the human experience. WARM GADGET "People will almost certainly describe this band as “metal.” But that’s a lazy and maybe even condescending take on Warm Gadget. In a region not terribly experimental in its listening tastes, the darkly industrial rock of Warm Gadget might baffle some, but for the power behind it, the music is astonishingly accessible." - The Source Weekly
