Dead Space
For those of you fascinated with the sinister and the bizzare, Dead Space brings you on a journey through the space time continuum. Join Dr. Manhattan through genres ranging from post punk to ambient, to everything in between. Showcasing bands such as Joy Division, Boards of Canada, Mogwai, and Massive Attack, she will be sure to voyage into a planet where effects pedals and ethereal sounds are commonplace.
And yeah, we’re on facebook.
