Drums of Death Live at Tokyo Indie
Drums of Death – an ominous name in itself, but when you twin it with a “voodoo-zombie” persona and a frenetic live show, the Shibuya nightfall will seem just that little darker on May 5th. Hailing from Scotland via London, the last two years have seen a string of high profile releases for DoD on labels such as Greco Roman and Civil Music as well as producing an album for the queen of electro trash, Peaches.
However, his records pale in comparison to his absorbing live show. DoD promises to provide one of the most electric performances Tokyo Indie has ever seen, fusing feverish techno and old school house to create a lurid backdrop for nocturnal debauchery. On stage, Bailey thrashes and jerks dressed head-to-toe in black while sporting the face of a deranged pantomime villain which he says is “a tool to assist both the performer and the audience to leave their comfort zones and for the shows to be as crazy as possible.”
Think deeper…Think darker…This is real club music not for the faint hearted.
