Curses & Nuovo Testamento
Berlin-based Curses is known for blending the dark-romantic elements of post- punk with the heavy hitting energy of all things under the electronic body music spectrum. With 2 albums on Dischi Autunno, a special edition LP on Paris fashion brand, Saint Laurent, music for Calvin Klein, Raf Simons, and Dior campaigns, the live show brings these records to the stage as as a duo: Luca Venezia on washed-out reverb drenched Guitar and Vocals, Dame Bonnet on rolling Bass and metallic E-drum snares. The performance is never the same, channeling early Kraut-Rock experimentation and jamming, weaving in and out of the album material.
Nuovo Testamento is the Los Angeles & Bologna-based trio lighting up the dance floor with their uniquely dark italo disco-flavored pop hits. Following the release of the coldwave cult favorite Exposure EP in 2019 on Avant! Records, their widely acclaimed full length New Earth exploded onto the dance floor. Including instant synthpop staple “the Searcher,” alongside Hi-NRG homage “Michelle Michelle” and goth-tinged hits like “Golden Boy,” New Earth is widely considered across genres to be one of 2021’s best underground albums of the year.
