with special guests Bara Hari and resident DJ Vox Sinistra

THE CASSANDRA COMPLEX

The Cassandra Complex was formed in 1984 by Rodney Orpheus (vocals,synths, drums machine), Paul Dillon (electronics), and Andy Booth (guitar, keyboards). Their unique synthesis of post-punk, goth, EBM and industrial music, coupled with their exciting, powerful multimedia-driven live show and Rodney Orpheus’ commanding voice and stage presence proved irresistible to audiences, and since then they have toured extensively, filled club dance floors, and topped indie charts around the world. Songs such as Moscow Idaho, One Millionth Happy Customer, Penny Century, and Nightfall have been lauded as classics of the genre.After a long hiatus they recently returned to the spotlight with the album The Plague, recorded during COVID lockdown, which spent 8 weeks at the top of the German Alternative Chart (DAC). In March 2024 they released Death & Sex, which similarly shot straight to #1 in the DAC for multiple weeks. Both albums are available from COP International Records on CD and on all streaming services.

VOX SINISTRA (DJ)
Vox Sinistra explores the synthesis of dark underground electronic sounds with retro and modern inspiration. In her work as a DJ, she has cultivated community in the genres of EBM and techno body music, industrial, New Beat, minimal and cold wave, forward-thinking electro and techno, and '80s synth music such as Italo disco, acid house, synth-pop, new wave and more. With a background in post-punk, no wave and related alternative and DIY punk movements, she combines sounds with rebellious spirit, nostalgic melodies, and avant-garde genre-mashing that stimulates bodies into movement for a cathartic and heavy dance music experience.
