Hello again!
Firstly, big thank yous to everyone who came to our Wake Week show for the Luminaire on Saturday, I'm glad we got the chance to properly pay our respects; a fine send off indeed. Keeping up with the death/mourning theme we have the totally jaw-dropping FORMER GHOSTS playing tomorrow at Cargo. Splintering floor toms, sublime electronics, Freddy Ruppert's gloriously doleful voice are all in order, along with some harsh percussion and guitar courtesy of Jamie Stewart too. In support we have spooked alchemy from TERROR BIRD and hushed intensity from POWERDOVE. What a great lineup, I'm sure you'll agree! Details galore...

FORMER GHOSTS (Freddy Ruppert + Jamie Stewart)
TERRORBIRD

FORMER GHOSTS is a synth-pop project from Freddy Ruppert. The band in recording mode also comprises Xiu Xiu's Jamie Stewart, Zola Jesus' Nika Roza Danilova and Yasmine Kittles from Tearist. Ruppert is the lead songwriter on this brutally gloomy, effortlessly honest project. With their debut album 'Fleurs', the band created an album so intense that it can become hard to listen to. And we say this in an effort to compliment their ability to render the themes of the album - heartbreak, death, love, needing, wanting - so sonically accurate that they replicate those feelings in the listener. Album number two 'New Love.' was released last November also on Upset The Rhythm and was very well received. The album deals with new love as a cure for the heartbreak and jealousy of the past, but a beginning to a new obsession - the search to replace the old love. For this show Freddy will be accompanied by Jamie Stewart for the entire "Fleurs-heavy" set.

TERROR BIRD hail from Vancouver and are the wife and husband duo Nikki Never and Jeremiah Haywood. Night-People teamed up with German label Adagio 830 to present their debut album 'Human Culture' last year - a masterpiece of heartfelt, haunted, ethereal pop music. Nikki's piano and synth arrangements guide her voice, full of feeling and beauty, through layers of dark ambience that constantly break away into shiny spaces of hopeful abandon. Terror Bird also have a brand new hand-screened 7" available now on the wonderful Night School imprint.
