Cold Waves annual fall soiree in DTLA takes place October 13 at the gorgeous Mayan Theater, featuring a stellar lineup of dark electronic synthpop, goth, industrial and more, focusing on keeping things HOTT. This years lineup will feature a cathartic performance from headliner IAMX, the first west coast appearance in 20 years from Germany’s BEBORN BETON, a rare return for Swedish synth darlings KITE (recently signed to Dais) and the always-scorching PATRIARCHY. We also welcome HOUSES OF HEAVEN, in support of a gorgeous new album, Portlands ferocious electro duo PUERTA NEGRA, and the formidable, hypnotic vocal stylings of MS BOAN. The party goes from doors to lights out at Stage Left with our darkling selectors REV.JOHN and BABY MAGICK on the decks. The Cold Waves LA Showcase is strictly 21+. Doors at 6PM. Show at 7PM. Several lots and street parking around the venue. In its 12th year, COLD WAVES continues to celebrate the originators and the newest talent in the darker realms of electronic music. Originating in Chicago, and founders of the Darkest Before Dawn non-profit, COLD WAVES stretched to the coasts in 2017 with events in Los Angeles, as well as NYC and co-pro events in many other cities, eventually working with the CRACKNATION Agency to build further bookings for many of its artists.
