YES Music Productions presents a night of darkwave music with -
Wingtips [Chicago, IL]
https://wingtips.bandcamp.com/album/cutting-room-floor
WINGTIPS was officially formed in 2015 by Vincent after having informally used the moniker for a number of previous experimental solo performances. Their debut record, “EXPOSURE THERAPY”, was released in 2019 on seasoned Canadian alternative label Artoffact Records, and is best described as an androgynous sound of transition. Interpolating darkly shimmering layers of angular guitar and pulsating darkwave, WINGTIPS sharpen their anthemic rush with an increasing penchant for melody and an atmosphere equally informed by post-punk as sweeping electronica. "EXPOSURE THERAPY" is a contextualization of new romantic for post-millennial end times, and a refreshing mix of synthpop and darkwave with hooks so compelling they are cinematic in scope. In late 2020, the duo teased a stylistic shift towards a more bombastic pop sound with their cover of the Savage Garden single “TEARS OF PEARLS”. The track garnered excited press acclaim, and was lauded by none other than Savage Garden vocalist Darren Hayes himself. In September 2021, WINGTIPS released their sophomore LP, “CUTTING ROOM FLOOR”, on Artoffact.
Hexheart [Seattle, WA]
https://www.hexheart.com/
Hexheart is the Darkwave / Synth-Pop project of Seattle WA based musician/producer Jasyn Bangert. Well known for his work in the Goth/Industrial scene, Jasyn started Hexheart for new music that does not fit in the musical world he has created with God Module. There may be slight similarities found within the projects but that is simply because they are both written by the same person. That aside, they are worlds apart from each other in both feeling and intent. Hexheart's music is a mix of retro New Wave vibes with classic and modern Synth-Pop electronics with the occasional Darkwave inspired guitar melody making an appearance. Dark emotional lyrics dealing with life, love and loss are presented through slightly vocoded effects contributing to the modern nostalgic aesthetic.
Licorice Chamber [Seattle, WA]

Licorice Chamber is the solo moniker of Layla Reyna: Musician, Graphic Designer and Illustrator, best known as lead singer for Strap On Halo (2008-2021).
