Philly shoegazers pull blissful lullabies from outer space, drench them in fuzz, dip ‘em in magnesium dust and ignite stunning sonic pyres.
 
Minneapolis’ channel immersive, deeply psychedelic shoegaze from ghosts ODing on ecstasy, Spacemen 3, and stereo fl**ge. 

Quad-City trippy garage punks are grooving, glimmering Nicktoon cryptids on speed.
 
Come ride the wave.

Attn. Spooky groovers! Dark electronic warlock conjures gloomy, pulsing spells designed to shake gothic ass, as indebted to Nitzer Ebb as Clan of Xymox. 

 brew potions for occult s*x practices, blending doomy riffs, lush interludes, and electronic exploration inspired by vintage horror soundtracks. 

Shadow entity GLURGE starts the evening wafting post-punkian sheets of angular, psychedelic goth-rock. 

Come revel in spooky season gloom at Tuesday, Oct. 15. Doors at 6, show at 7 sharp as Mikey Myers’ knife. $15 advance, $20 doors. Ticket link in bio. Thanks to Safe Harbor, , and for teaming up on this Epically October banger.

Finally, an evening of seductive vampire bops. .memory makes dubby trip-hop for ghosts, blending layers of grimy, organic percussion with creeping synths and smokey jazz lounge vocals run through a tape machine inches from death.

Come worship at the Void Church Sunday, Sept. 15 . $15. All ages. Doors at 6, music at 7 SHARP AS A BLADE. (If you want all ages shows ya’ll gotta show up on time.)

are Pavement & Sonic Youth sloppily making out in stained glass ball pit. Catch them kicking off the evening lineup at TONIGHT. They play AT 6. FREE. ALL-AGES — THE KIDZ R ALL RIGHT.

08/16/2024

Teamed up with Safe Harbor for a killer free, early, all-ages show at Saturday at 1!

play the kind of rock and roll you could smash a beer bottle on a cop car to.* Their revved up post-punk calls to mind UK acts like IDLES and Fontaines DC with touches of Mclusky and Bear Vs Shark. Not for the faint of heart, but for full hearts to rage to.

embrace the contrasting vibes of surf rock melodies, crushing shoegaze guitars, and mid-2000’s indie full of warm nostalgia, yet distinctly their own sound. Waves of distortion and infectiously catchy vocals for swaying and hugging and reveling in the perks of wallflowerdom.**

1 p.m. Free. . All-ages.

What is Void Church? Find out at our showcase Aug. 15, where you’ll get a taste of our canonic vibe — shoegaze, goth, dreampop, psych, and beyond.

Chicago shoegaze greats combine glittering pop sensibilities with aurora-borealean sheets of fuzzy guitars, dreamy female vocals, and a driving rhythm section. Beachouse meets the Jesus and Mary Chain in Kevin Sheilds’ Siamese Dream.

Somewhere between Clairo and The Cure lies the wistful world of .days. Chicago artist Alessia Kato’s solo project is best described as danceable bedroom goth pop, and it feels like holding hands with your crush in a cemetery.

Peoria’s .sunshine are a groovy lysergic rocket on interstellar overdrive, seemingly capable of manipulating time, space, and color whilst plugged in and soaring on-stage. Early Pink Floyd talk megaliths with King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard at the SETI Institute.

Void Church High Priestess DJ Doubleyou
( ) will spin vinyl spells from the VC repertoire between sets.

Thurs., Aug. 15 at . Doors 6/music 7. $15. Ticket link in bio.

Download the app and add Panda Riot, Ghost Days, and Nova Sunshine to your schedule. Big ups to for sponsoring!

Void Church wouldn’t exist without Matt Moody. Two years ago we had an idea to put on the kind of event we’d dreamed of since our days as goth-inclined teens. A vibey celebration of the dark, angsty stuff our silly hearts feel at home in. Obviously we’d hold it at the Village Theatre. For us and so many other creatives, it’s a place our hearts feel at home in, too. Because of Matt. He was immediately all in on Void Church, and worked earnestly to try to bring every crazy idea we had into reality. He did that for everyone. Matt Moody fostered dreams. If you had a creative vision he was your collaborator. Your promoter. Your stage manager. Your production assistant. Your sound guy. Your master of ceremonies. Your pie-in-the-sky idea guy. Your grounding voice of reason. Your co-conspirator. Your friend. He was kind and honest. Loyal and passionate. Funny and so talented in so many ways. Matt was full of light and love, and it came bursting out of him with those deep, unforgettable belly laughs. Hearty guffaws, if you will. We cannot thank Matt enough for helping us make our dreams into reality. For showing us and so many others that with community, ingenuity, and gaffer tape anything is possible. Godspeed, Matt. 🎩
