The Tear Garden is about to embark on its f irst tour dates in the bands history. Founders Cevin Key (Skinny Puppy, Do wnload) and Edward Ka-Spel (Legendary Pink Dots) joined forces 30 years ag o to create their initial recordings, psychedelia-infused electronic and t ribal tracks that would become their first album “Tired Eyes Burning”. In 2025, their new album , ‘Astral Elevator’ has been gleefully received and a long persistent cry from an audience clamouring for a tour look set to have their prayers answered. The combination of Skinny Puppy’s sonic o verload and the Pink Dots’ hallucinogenic labyrinth may seem like an unlik ely combination, but the evidence of the music and the longevity of the pr oject exemplifies a perfect marriage.
Wisconsi-based el ectronic chanteuse CARRELLEE, who recently joined the IAMX US touring team will open the show, along with Bragolin, a Dutch post-punk/dark wave proj ectcontaining influences from various decades with '80s baritone guitar, s ynths and drummachines, '60s/'70s organs and '90's Shoegaze guitars.

Charming Disaster is a goth-folk musical duo based in Brooklyn, NY, formed in 2012 by Ellia Bisker and Jeff Morris. Inspired by the macabre humor of Edward Gorey and Tim Burton, the murder ballads of the Americana traditio n, and the dramatic flair of the cabaret, they write playfully dark songs that tell stories about death, crime, myth, magic, folklore, science, and the occult.
Charming Disaster’s music has been featured on the podca st Welcome to Night Vale, they have toured the United States and Europe, a nd have opened for Rasputina, Voltaire, The Dresden Dolls. Recent appearan ces include Joe’s Pub at the Public Theatre in NYC, the Rochester Fringe F estival, Philadelphia’s Science History Institute, Cleveland’s Wizbang Cir cus Theatre, and the Coney Island Sideshow stage.
The God Awful Small Affairs play Them-F atale-Space-Rock:
Queer, fatale, severely honest indie rock ballads one might listen to at the all night diner-cathedral at the end of the uni verse.
Super Secret Cult Band performs Lovecraftian doo-wop and retro-tinged pop songs about c onspiracies, the apocalypse, existential dread and the occult.
