Warning: semi-proofread
hello, hello. i’m back. luckily i got to finish this even though it’s a few days later than the first part. anyways, black day itself should be approaching soon, but i have no idea how it’s actually celebrated as i just looked it up and tweaked it for my own story. lol again, standalone, but i will make an individual post for it to keep it together of sorts once it’s get longer or something like that. anyways, yeah, not really that much going on as the development is underway and the angst bit is just very tiny so i dunno, but i’m sure i’ll be doing some more time skip since i really don’t like to write all that much as i tend to get unmotivated for some reason. anyways, yeah happy reading and kthxbai, Admin Lia~
Black Nighttime was in full swing with the crowd purchasing items with super final prices. Tonight held the speed-dating with three rounds this year and the semi-final jjajangmyeon eating contest. A lounge area to discuss about the lack of intimate relationships or life in general. An arts and crafts booth replaced the shirt design and salon bit. You could also spend time at the solo diner with stuffed animals as a companion, too. The Solo Karaoke was also added to the second part of the Black Day Festival, but of course right after the new addition of the Dark Love Stage with a different name yet same concept.
"Hello, everyone! I'm Holland, and I'll be introducing our dangerous ladies tonight!" Holland greeted the crowd once Nighttime got going.
The crowd cheered as Holland continued to speak.
"If you were here for Daytime, then you must've heard that we added Solo Karaoke and the Black Love Stage today."
The crowd cheered in response.
"Good. Tonight for Nighttime it's no different as we'll do our Dark Love Stage renamed for specifically the night portion first before y'all can sing your to your heart's content with our Solo Karaoke."
Holland looked over at the crowd present for this event as others were also roaming the other area of the gymnasium.
"Anyways, introducing tonight for our Dark Love Stage is the Dark Angels!"
The crowd cheered once more as Holland clapped while looking behind him to see if the quartet were ready to perform.
"Please give a warm welcome to our saviors of the dark night as they lure you in with their luscious voices into darkness!"
Dark Angels stepped onto the makeshift stage with the same outfits from Daytime as Fallen Angels, but had more accessories than before.
"One, two..." Jasmine started as they introduced themselves as a group, "Hello, we're Dark Angels."
Then the quartet introduced themselves with another set of stage names from Katherine, Serena, Melanie, and ending with Jasmine.
"I'm Lady Lilith."
"I'm Lady Hecate."
"I'm Lady Pandora."
"I'm Lady Jezebel."
The crowd tuning in cheered as Jasmine spoke again while shooting Holland a smile.
"Thank you, Holland, for that lovely intro!"
"Great, I expect a lemon cake as a treat, Lady Jezebel."
Holland joked, but nodded firmly.
"Just no carrots whatsoever."
He shot Serena a knowing look as she just smiled at him without responding.
"Okay, will do." Jasmine agreed before looking over the crowd.
"Thank you to those present. Please watch over us kindly. We hope that you enjoy our performances tonight."
The crowd cheered again before Jasmine announced the first song.
"So we're gonna start out a bit strong tonight for the second half of the Black Day Festival and we don't really care if you care about that or not."
Jasmine chuckled before continuing shortly afterwards.
"Despite the title and lyrics this song goes out to anyone that's talking smack about the person they broke up with. Stop. Enjoy, Dirty Boy."
Once again, Kyle cued just as the first note hit did Katherine began singing. When the song came to and end, Katherine spoke.
"Now we're doing a one-eighty and slowing it down with the next song, GHOST."
Katherine introduced the second song.
"For those that wished someone could just disappear from your life like you've never met, this is for you."
The quartet rotated positions as Melanie began singing with the other girls following with their assigned parts after. After GHOST ended it was Serena that spoke next.
"Oh, wow. That got me in the feels."
Serena chuckled at her words as she got back on track.
"Despite the lyrics and the title of the next song, Another Boy, don't keep someone around if you don't love them anymore while still pursuing another person. You'll cause that person to not believe and just leaving them in tears."
As the song began Dark Angels got into formation as they had rearranged the original dance routine to fit their own while Katherine sang first followed by the rest in their assigned lines. When the last note ended did Jasmine speak.
"Alright, the next song is 1,2,3. This is dedicated those to forget the person you're hung up on. Y'all are strangers now. Forget them and go live your life."
The original choreography was rearrange to fit the quartet as Dark Angels again enjoyed themselves. Melanie introduced the next song after taking a slight break.
"Keeping up with this pace, Domino Game is next! It's towards those to quit playing games as people can get hurt and tired from them."
Dark Angels once again got into formation. Katherine started the song and followed by the rest. When the song ended did Katherine speak.
"Hope everyone has enjoyed our performances so far!"
The let out loud cheers before Katherine introduced the third to last song.
"Alright, this sixth song, The Reason I Became A Witch, is dedicated to those that became spiteful because of someone. Enjoy!"
Dark Angels got into formation with Jasmine and Serena doing the narration before Melanie actually started out the song. After that, Serena spoke to informed them of their second to last song.
"Seriously though, thank you guys so much for watching us perform for you. Unfortunately, we have two more songs to perform for you.
The crowded booed in response as the four chuckled before Serena spoke again once it quieted down.
"Yeah, I know, but that's life. Anyways, our second to last song, THANK U VERY MUCH, is dedicated to anyone who was grateful for the other person upon leaving their life without a hassle. Please enjoy!"
Dark Angels had fun with this performance as they were more playful with the choreography. Melanie sang first followed by the rest. Jasmine announced their last song as Dark Angels.
"It's the last song now, but don't worry, I'm sure you'll hear from us again Anyways, please give a big applause to Holland who also solo this Black Nighttime event himself. As well as Kyle and Haru like always. Also to the rest of those that helped make Black Day Festival a hit!"
The crowded clapped loudly and cheered while Jasmine looked at the three as they nodded. She returned her attention back to the audience.
"One, two..." Jasmine began with the other three joining in to finish the rest, "This was Dark Angels! Thank you!"
"Alright," Jasmine spoke one last time, "We're ending this differently than our last song! It's Over! This just goes out to those that just stopped having feelings and erased the other person from their life without a care."
Serena sang first followed by everyone else in their assigned parts. When the song ended Holland came onto the stage shortly afterwards.
"Please give Dark Angels a round of applause for their magnificent stages." He said excitedly while clapping heartily.
Holland cast the quartet an appreciated look as he motioned for them that they could leave. The girls bowed again as Holland resumed to the Solo Karaoke. The quartet hurriedly left to change outfits so that they could be ready for the second round of the Speed Date.
"Good evening, everyone. Sorin and I are proud to announce that our second round of the Speed Date is actually a very special one unlike our previous one." Liyin announced with Sorin continuing afterwards.
"Yes, just like Liyin mentioned, the second round is special because we have the lovely Nu Chi Theta members joining us."
A majority of the crowd cheered upon hearing one of the popular fraternity joining in as participants.
"Should I be worried?" Serena commented to the other three.
"No idea." Melanie responded just as confused.
"Oh, I'm excited." Jasmine exclaimed as Katherine rolled her eyes in good-nature.
"I wonder why. But seriously, the girls didn't tell us this."
"Neither did Seoljun." Serena remarked with a frown.
Katherine then chuckled.
"Sooner or later we were bound to run into them."
"Shut up."
Melanie nudged her sister.
"Stop running away."
"I'll do whatever I want. By the way, I'm giving out a fake name since I've been quite a lot so far."
"Ohh, I'm going to do that, too." Katherine agreed with an excited face. "That's a great idea."
"Why would you two wanna do that for?" Jasmine asked while giving them a weird look. "What if y'all make a connection?"
"I don't want to though." Serena answered as Katherine shrugged.
"I just think it'll be fun."
Melanie laughed with a nod.
"I think so, too."
Jasmine cast her friend a look.
"So you're gonna go with a fake name, too?"
"Might as well. You?"
"I dunno. What if Johnny's there?"
"Then use your real name with Johnny and a fake name with the others you're not interested in." Serena suggested.
"Oh, I can, can't I?"
"Yes."
They continued to listen as Sorin and Liyin explained that the second round would have the Nu Chi Theta members sitting and the participants rotating this time around.
"Hi. I'm Park Sieun." Serena introduced herself with the intended fake name while not paying attention to the person after rotating.
"I'm pretty sure you're name is Serena."
Serena heard the male corrected as she looked at him and was surprised to see Johnny in front of her.
"Oh, Johnny. Hi."
"Hello to you, too. Surprised?" Johnny greeted with a laugh.
"Um, yeah."
She looked about their surrounding wondering if Jasmine had taken notice before focusing on Johnny again when she remembered that she couldn't see any of the other three from where she sat since they ended up being separated by different numbers.
"So what brings you to the Speed Date?"
Johnny began the small talk.
"The Student Council President."
"Oh?"
Johnny was intrigued as he leaned closer.
"Tell me more, Serena."
"Um," Serena stalled not sure what to tell him.
"I had nothing really to do and Gina thought I could help out as a last resort kind of thing."
Serena shrugged nonchalantly before questioning him.
"What about you?
"Just here to meet new people and some fraternity duties."
"I see. Is that why Nu Chi Theta is participating?"
"Yeah, something like that. By the way, since I got you here..."
Serena's eyebrow quirked up as she awaited for what Johnny wanted to ask.
"It's about your friend, Jasmine."
Serena eyed him suspiciously causing Johnny to laugh.
"Whoa, whoa. I just wanna know some things about her."
"She's participating in this so you could just find out when you're paired up with her later."
"Yeah, but it's a wait and why not learn some things about her from her friends before I reach her."
Serena regarded the male and thought she'll help out her friend even though she tried not to meddle in other people's personal life.
"Okay. What do you wanna know?"
Johnny shot her the giddiest look and wondered if she should worry or not. Instead she chuckled as Johnny asked questions in regards to Jasmine while giving him vague answers. Serena wasn't sure how to answer and hoped that Jasmine would clarify everything later. Liyin soon announced that their two minutes were up and for the participants to rotate to their next table.
"I guess I'll have to ask the other two or herself whenever I reach them." Johnny commented as Serena agreed. "I guess so. Good luck."
"Thanks."
Serena waved goodbye as she watched him moving on and silently let out a breath wondering if she could even handle the rest of the second round as they were all Nu Chi Theta members, but so far she only spoke with those she didn't know.
"Oh, Shotaro, hi. You're in this, too?" Melanie asked when he plopped himself into the seat across from her a moment later.
Shotaro cast her a shy smile with a nod.
"Yeah."
"How is it going for you so far?"
"It's a little overwhelming, but it's fun. I'm learning a lot although I still get a bit nervous"
"Aww, glad to know and yeah that happens a lot. If it makes you feel better, I get nervous, too."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
"So," Shotaro began with a sheepish look, "Are you nervous about speaking with a certain someone later down the line?."
"Who told you that?""
Melanie eyed him suspiciously as he laughed sheepishly.
"Ten mentioned something before this whole thing started."
"Wow. He really has a big mouth. Anyways, ignore what he told you, okay?"
Shotarto nodded with laugh as Melanie asked him a question.
"So what are you doing after this?"
"I wanted to try out the food. I heard you can pick out whatever stuffed animal to dine with."
"Oh yes, you can. There's different sizes! I want to sit with the biggest one."
Shotaro's eyes widened with excitment.
"Really? Wouldn't it take up to much space?"
"Nah. I'm sure you can just stuff it in since it's fluffy."
The two continued to talk until the alarm rang for the participants to rotate.
"Thank you, ladies and gentlemen!" Sorin and Liyin announced once the last rotation ended.
"You'll find out your results in the next day or two." Liyin informed the group. "We'll e-mail your match and hope that all of y'all work out!"
"And if not," Sorin interjected with a smile, "Then we hope that you guys can be friends or try again next time."
"So thank you for participating." Liyin thanked them once more as Sorin announced the third round.
"We hope everyone for the third round are here and that we can get it started soon. And no, it's not a special round. Sorry."
Meanwhile the quartet finally met up with one another as they discussed their time during the Speed Date.
"I think this year is looking out for me or something, but I had a great conversation with Johnny." Jasmine stated with an excited tone.
"I would hope so because he can actually tell you and I apart." Katherine mused with a knowing look. "I can't believe he participated."
"Me either, but I hope we match."
"I think you guys should." Melanie assured. "He did ask about you when he was with me."
"Oh, me too." Serena confirmed. "It was kinda weird, but if you guys don't match then what's gonna happen?"
"To give up and move on." Jasmine said with a defeated tone before brightening up a moment later. "If not, then we can I guess be friends first and maybe work from there, yeah?"
"True." The three chorused before Serena looked over at Katherine.
"What about you? Did you have a nice conversation with Taeil?"
"Yes. It was quite pleasant, but two minutes is pretty short and we were into our conversation that we didn't notice until one of his members told us. Although like speaking with any Nu Chi Theta member could be nerve-wracking as everyone wants to associate themselves with them."
"Very true." Melanie agreed before nudging her sister.
"Too bad you're crush wasn't there."
"Thank goodness and crush is a store word." Serena said in a relieved tone. "Anyways, y'all can't tease me anymore."
"Neither was yours." Jasmine commented a moment later. "I really wanted to discreetly tell the both of them about y'all."
"I'm pretty sure Ten did that already." Melanie remarked. "Shotaro said so during our talk."
The quartet continued talking and started discussing what they wanted to do or to split up again like they did earlier in the day.
"And there we go." Serena spoke to herself as she tied the ends of the elastic strings of the beaded bracelet she had just made.
"Ooh, that's pretty. Is it for the little girl that you tutor?" Jasmine asked once she had completed her own bracelet.
"Yeah. She really loves rainbow-like things."
Serena admired the colorful shapes along with the name she had spelt within it. Serena wore the bracelet and slightly frown with a chuckle.
"It's a bit bigger than I thought, but she should grow into it. She has time for that."
"True. C'mon, let's go check out the merch booth and see what they have left over.
"Oh, good idea. Maybe I could buy, Yeojin, some other things."
The pair left the area after bidding goodbye to Seoljun and Seolhwa. While wandering the pair ran into another set of friends, but unfortunately, Serena had made the other person spill food onto themselves.
"I am so sorry." Serena apologized and realized it was Ten and Johnny she and Jasmine had ran into.
Jasmine squeezed Serena's arm upon acknowledging who the other pair was and Serena had to pat her friend to calm down. Then she realized that the bracelet she had wore and made for Yeojin was missing.
"Oh, no. I lost the bracelet."
"I'll help you look for it, Serena! Jasmine can help Johnny clean himself up." Ten offered as he ushered himself and Serena away leaving the other two behind.
Jasmine slightly panicked, but relaxed when she heard Johnny speak to her.
"Hey, it's not a big deal. I wasn't looking where I was going either."
The pair slowly conversed not even minding that the other two had rushed off.
"Good bluff. That should help those two out better." Ten commented as Serena shot him a confused look.
"What bluff?"
"About the bracelet going missing."
"It wasn't a bluff."
"What do you mean?"
"Ten. I really lost the bracelet."
"Oh. Um, I'll help you find it for real then."
Serena sighed, but she backtracked with an unhelpful Ten.
Melanie happily sat across from a giant mint green hippopotamus with Katherine sitting at another table across from a two-tone brown lion with both of them eating a strawberry brick toast and drinking a large dragon-fruit milk tea.
"This is so good." Katherine commented while looking over at Melanie. "Jiyoon and Jihan were right to go with this."
"I know right. It's a lot better than I thought it would be."
"How are y'all liking it?"
The pair looked up to see a familiar face.
"Oh, Soeun, it's delicious." Katherine responded with a thumbs up. "Jihan and Jiyoon were right about it."
"And the dragon-fruit?" Soeun probed further
"Delicious. You were right about the taste, too." Melanie replied with an O.K. sign. "It's gonna be my new fave when y'all start selling it."
"Of course I am. Anyways, I'm here about something else."
"About what?" The duo chorused as they continued eating their dessert.
Soeun glanced over shoulder before focusing on the pair again.
"Someone wants to join you, Melanie."
"This is a solo diner. Besides, Hank the Hippo is already dining with me."
Melanie motioned to the plush doll as Soeun laughed.
"You named him?"
"Of course. Can't enjoy my meal if I don't know the other person's name."
Melanie looked over at Katherine.
"Right?"
"Yup."
Katherine motioned at the plushie before her.
"Leon the Lion."
"Wow. And I thought only Serena named things."
"That's where we got it from because she has a similar, but smaller one at home." Melanie answered.
"I see, but are you sure you don't want to know who it is that wants to join you."
Melanie shook her head, but Katherine shot Soeun an amused look.
"Sure because I know that you're dying to tell her who it is."
Soeun happily leaned closer to the two while gazing at Melanie.
"Do you wanna guess before telling you?"
"No."
"Oh, you're no fun."
Soeun glanced over her shoulder again and Melanie looked over, but wasn't sure who it could be.
"Well, he said his name is Jimmy."
Melanie' frowned upon hearing the familiar name.
"Yeah, no thanks, Soeun."
"Oh. He said he's a good friend of yours."
"He's not."
"Oh, really? He seemed pretty persistent, but I'll let him know that you're not interested."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
Soeun walked away as Katherine looked over at her friend.
"Isn't that the guy that dumped you for another person that he was already cheating with?"
"Yup."
"The nerve of that guy."
"I know."
The pair were about to get back to their respective meal when another hand slapped Melanie's table to get her attention.
"You got some nerve rejecting me." Jimmy stated with a harsh tone.
Melanie glanced at him indifferently while Katherine watched for now.
"And you got some nerve talking to me again after what you did."
Melanie motioned with her head for him to leave her alone.
"The exit is that way and I don't have to converse with you."
Just then Jimmy wiped Melanie's table clean as the items shattered to the floor. Melanie pushed back her chair, stood up, and backed away from the male when suddenly two other people appearing in front of her to protect her. Katherine immediately moved to stand besides Melanie when Jimmy pushed the dishes off the table as the pair watched Taeil, Shotaro, and Sungchan come to Melanie's aid.
"I don't think that was necessary now, don't you think?" Taeil asked with a firm tone towards Jimmy.
"That's such a waste for you to have done that." Sungchan added before motioning towards the exit.
"I believe you were on your way out. Correct?"
It was not a suggestion that Sungchan was giving him as his tone wasn't nice sounding as Taeil did the same.
"Yeah, weren't you just leaving now?"
Shotaro also gave the male a once over while glancing at Melanie before returning his gaze onto Jimmy.
"I'm sure Melanie would be most comfortable without your presence as well."
Jimmy's jaw tightened as he glanced at the three males before sweeping his eyes over to Melanie. He huffed and stormed off.
"Are you okay?" The trio asked Melanie a moment after.
"Yeah, just a little shaky now. Thank you though." She thanked before looking at the mess which was quickly taken care of by Soeun.
"I'm so sorry, Melanie." Soeun apologized after cleaning up. "I thought he was fine when I told him you didn't want to see him, but I guess he got around another way."
"It's fine, Soeun. It's not your fault. Thank you though."
"No worries. I'll be back with another set for you."
"No, it's fine. I'm not that hungry anymore."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah. Thanks again."
"You're welcome. Katherine?"
"I'm good, too. Thanks, Soeun."
Soeun cast them another apologetic look before walking off as Katherine comforted her friend.
"I swear, this month is not a good month for you or Serena."
"I know right."
"So, do you wanna get food afterwards?"
"Probably."
"Actually you could have some of ours." Sungchan offered as Shortaro smiled.
"Yeah, we haven't touched it yet."
"Oh, yeah. We actually ordered more than the two of us could eat."
Taeil shot them a friendly smile with Shotaro nodding.
"The fluffy animals can't help us either."
Melanie chuckled.
"I'm pretty sure this is supposed to be a solo dining and not a get-together of sorts."
Melanie reminded them although she knew that Katherine low-key wanted to sit together. Melanie then pointed at the hippopotamus and lion.
"Besides, Hank the Hippo and Leon the Lion may get jealous if we sat with another."
The males chuckled as they immediately moved a plate and glass over to Melanie's table.
"We wouldn't want that now. So how about this instead?"
"That's fine."
"Well, the two of you enjoy your night."
The males cast the females a polite smile as they returned to their table while Melanie shot Katherine a look. Katherine shot her a knowing look, but the two went back to their own respective table. Melanie enjoyed her now honey brick toast and a cotton candy milk tea with Hank the Hippo as Katherine did the same with Leon the Lion. Later that night the quartet helped cleaned up after the Black Nighttime while telling one another about their night. Serena eventually found the bracelet after clean-up and still deny the fact to Katherine that their lives were a drama series awaiting to happen.

Interview with Movements
We had the pleasure of interviewing Movements over Zoom video!
Growth occurs across different layers. Reflecting personal changes from a whirlwind five years, Movements realize the full scope of their storytelling, musicianship, and vision. Not only does the music address the emotional push-and-pull of relationships, but it also explores loss, love, mental health, and even intimacy through a prism of newfound clarity soundtracked by post-punk grit, alternative expanse, heartfelt spoken word, expensive rock, and subtle pop ambition. The Southern California quartet—Patrick Miranda [vocals], Ira George [guitar], Spencer York [drums], and Austin Cressey [bass]—reach this place on their second full-length album, No Good Left To Give [Fearless Records].
“When we started this band, I was 19-years-old,” says Patrick. “I’m 24 now. I’ve learned a lot about myself in the last five years. Those lessons influenced my writing style in terms of how I incorporate my experiences into the lyrics. There’s more I want to be able to portray. There are more themes I want to talk about. Our preferences have changed. The changes come through the record.”
“Over the course of making this record, we found ourselves as people,” Austin concurs. “It allowed us to really discover what we can do musically. We’ve evolved as musicians. Every instrument, the bass, the drums, the guitars, and vocals have been stepped up to a different level—but it’s still Movements.”
Movements quietly worked towards this moment since forming in 2015. Following the 2016 EP Outgrown Things, the group cemented a singular sound on their 2017 full-length debut, Feel Something. Eclipsing 40 million total streams by 2020, it immediately connected by way of “Daylilly” [11.1 million Spotify streams], “Full Circle” [6.1 million Spotify streams], and “Colorblind” [5.5 million Spotify streams]. Along the way, the four-piece received acclaim from Brooklyn Vegan, AXS, Rock Sound, Culture Collide, and more. In between packing shows worldwide, they joined forces with Alzheimer’s Association for the “Deadly Dull” video and covered “Losing My Religion” by R.E.M. for the Songs that Saved My Life compilation.
During 2019, the guys entered the studio with longtime producer and frequent collaborator Will Yip [Title Fight, Turnover] to record No Good Left To Give. Movements spent the most time they ever had in the studio, which resulted in the most collaborative effort to date with Will, adding another dimension to the tunes.
“At its core, the new record is what we’ve always been, which is emotional, real, and honest music,” Patrick goes on. “We all know each other very well and understand our respective styles. We’re discussing mental health, struggles with relationships, and relatable things from our lives. At the same time, it’s a little darker.”
“The mood is a little heavier, for sure,” Austin elaborates. “It wasn’t based on any sort of influences. We didn’t try to emulate anyone. It’s very pure. We uncovered our originality.”
This original spirit shines on the first single “Don’t Give Up Your Ghost.” Ethereal guitars ebb and flow with a spectral glow as Patrick’s voice engages and enchants. Lyrically, it confronts the darkness of suicide head-on, “Don’t give up your ghost.”
“It talks about depression and suicidal thoughts and tendencies,” he sighs. “It’s told from the perspective of a person who is dealing with a friend who confides that he or she has attempted to kill him- or herself. However, this person has been there as well and has even made suicide attempts too. The person tries to console the friend and let him or know she’s not alone. It’s about not giving up when there’s so much more the world can offer. Even though you’re in a certain place right now, it doesn’t mean you’re going to be in the same place forever.”
On the other end of the spectrum, “Skin To Skin” slinks along on a bedpost-rattling beat as Pat’s voice snakes through seductive verses—“I wanna be inside”—towards an explosive refrain.
“It’s definitely the horniest song we’ve ever written,” the frontman laughs. “Since high school, Austin and I have joked around about how all of the best songs are about sex. We always wanted to write one; we finally did. It has to do with the idea of being so infatuated by your lover you just need to be engulfed. It’s horny.”
“It’s one of the dancier and faster tunes,” adds Austin. “It’s going to surprise a lot of people.”
Then, there’s “Seneca.” Popping off as “a rock banger,” buzzing distortion underpins an all-too relatable story.
“We all go through it,” Patrick continues. “The girl you love for a long time slips through your fingers, marries somebody else, and is going to have a family. You start worrying about what if and what could’ve been. It’s based on a true story about the one who got away.”
In the end, No Good Left To Give illuminates the growth of Movements as it also affirms their power to endure.
“I’d love for people to say, ‘I want to grow with this band’,” Patrick leaves off. “We always try to progress. This was natural for us. I hope listeners want to ride it out with us.” — Rick Florino, February 2020

what is ghost quartet about?
That, my friend, is the $64,000 question.
I’m only slightly joking.
Ghost Quartet is a musical in the style of a concept album by Dave Malloy, originally starring Brittain Ashford, Gelsey Bell, Brent Arnold, and Dave. It’s very simple, with no real costumes and very little movement. The four actors play all the instruments and generally stay in their designated corners for most of the show.
The show is told non-linearly, with 5-6 plotlines (depending on your interpretation) populated by different characters in different time periods. Reincarnation is a big theme of the show, and it’s implied (and maybe outright stated) that the character each actor plays in each story is the reincarnation of the same soul.
With me so far?
I swear the show is actually pretty easy to follow if you have that in mind and maybe read the Genius annotated lyrics as you listen to the cast recording (I recommend the Live at the McKittrick version, which is on YouTube in full and available to purchase at Dave’s BandCamp).
Plotline one: Rose Red and Pearl White:Rose and Pearl are sisters in folklore olden times. Rose is in love with The Astronomer, who’s kind of a douchebag and steals her poetry about the stars and publishes it under his own name. As she grows to hate him for that, he falls in love with her sister. Enraged, Rose goes to The Bear and asks him to kill the Astronomer and turn her sister into a crow, sealing them together into a cave until the crow has to either starve or eat her lover’s corpse. The Bear promises to do so if Rose retrieves one pot of honey, one piece of stardust, one secret baptism, and a photo of a ghost. After going through several lifetimes to get these things, she presents them to The Bear, who refuses to kill the Astronomer and turn Pearl into a crow–he just wanted her to bring him honey. Rose, in a rage, kills the Astronomer and drowns her sister in the river.
Plotline two: The Ushers/Starchild:(Note: This story is a twist on the Poe story “The Fall of the House of Usher”) Rose steals a baby from her teenage mother and baptizes her in the ocean. The baby, Starchild, grows up apart from the rest of the world after being baptized into a strange faith against her will. The Starchild’s mother is Roxie Usher, and Roxie is so devastated by losing her child that she falls ill and dies. Her mother orders her corpse to be locked into a vault in the basement for two weeks. Her brother, The Fool, decides to leave the house and go to NYC to play cello in a rock’n’roll band. One night, during a storm, Roxie breaks free of the vault and stumbles into her mother’s bedchamber. The shock give her mother a heart attack and she dies. This plotline also includes some flashbacks to when Roxie and The Fool were young children.
Plotline three: Arabian Nights:Rose/a reincarnate of Rose in the form of Dunyazad approaches Scheherazade of “1001 Nights” fame. As an ancient, Rose/Dunyazad requests a piece of stardust in the form of an untold story. Scheherazade isn’t sure that she has any, but tells Rose/Dunyazad of a dream she had of meeting a younger version of herself. Also in this plotline is Shah Zaman, who (in this story) is the king demanding stories from Scheherazade, and David, a piano player trying to connect with the ghost of Thelonious Monk.
Plotline four: Soldier and Rose:Rose/a reincarnate approaches a soldier in Sarajevo in the early 90s, attempting to seduce the soldier to get her jar of honey. The Soldier tells Rose she can have the honey, but first she must dance with The Soldier and then kill her to get it, but it would be a mercy killing. It’s implied that Rose does this.
Plotline five: The Camera Shop:A modern day Rose enters a camera shop manned by a descendant of folktale olden time Rose. She claims to have lost her camera, but really she smashed it after taking a photo of a “ghost:” on a subway platform where she was waiting for a train, The Pusher pushed a modern Pearl down in front of the train. The Driver didn’t have enough time to stop and, instead of helping, Rose took a photo just as Pearl was struck by the train, her photo of a ghost.
Plotline six: Other:This is my own designation/interpretation of several songs outside the narrative. These four characters, Rose, Pearl, David, and Brent, fully aware of their past lives for the first time, reflect back on the chaos and sorrow of their past while also accepting they can’t change it. This is “I Don’t Know,” “Any Kind of Dead Person,” “Four Friends,” and a couple other songs that fall outside of our narrative.
Again, I swear, if you really pay attention and listen to it, it’s not super hard to follow. Because it’s a musical “concept album,” the tracks are designated during the show, along with titles that make it clear what plotline you’re in for each song. And the show is really beautiful. Dave wrote it specifically for Brittain, Gelsey, Brent, and himself, so it really showcases Brittain’s voice and Gelsey’s nine million musical talents and Brent’s cello playing. It is a very cool, very weird little piece of theatre, and if you’re in the Seattle area in January, I highly recommend you check it out!
(And, if you’re looking for any more clarity around any parts of the plot specifically/have any more questions, let me know!)

Of heroes & gods!
The hot and courageous snorting fighter sounds of these deeply upright ones have developed into something very special until today. And not only the name of the band is an absolute program - even the foundation became a sworn ritual.Since 2007, everything at EISENHAUER has been revolving around the timeless ideals, values and powers that have always been embodied by impressively booming electric guitars.
On the second album with the striking title "Blessed Be The Hunter", the four men present themselves with mature material from the most interesting side of playing culture so far.
Their heroically charged to the point of bursting, doomy and typically Teutonic Heavy Rock with a continuous, catchy and melodic Metal edge captivates with the seal of approval 'Real Handmade'.
Everything is ceremonially crowned by Waxe's exceptional masculine voice: a singer who is thoroughly inspired by his cause, who rides the high walls of sound and symbolically leads his companions through the deepest valleys.
Waxe always bows down before big, dark and soulful voices like Ronnie James Dio, Glenn Danzig, Eric Wagner, Jim Morrison and Johnny Cash.
Ase, who also put his heart and soul into "Blessed Be The Hunter", brings in his resolutely commanding bass lines as energetically as if he had been born for it alone. His art on the thick strings lacks neither the necessary power nor dexterity.
And with the impressively effective Johann, EISENHAUER have a powerful heavy worker as hammering machine in the line-up, who, like a war drummer, leads all songs into the decisive battle.
Influences from giants like Black Sabbath and Dio are unmistakable, and EISENHAUER add a pinch of Trouble, Samhain/Danzig and In Solitude in a well-dosed way. The quartet's powerful overall sound is rounded off with partly massive nuances of Grand Magus and Manilla Road, which brings a delicious touch of obscure moods.
And the ten compositions on "Blessed Be The Hunter" also provide heaps of pithy, roaring dynamics with deliberate cross-references to acts like Cro-Mags, Slayer and Sacred Reich.
In 2020, EISENHAUER will be united for timeless and unadulterated HEAVY METAL in its purest form, carrying the heroic sagas of a generation believed lost to the campfires of our time. Serious musicians are at work, who know exactly what they want to hear as fans - without looking at degraded images or wandering along worn out retro sound paths.
The at any time comprehensible and often catchy guitar work convinces basically by its emphatically massive appearance and well-considered structuring - but the axe duo Waxe and Simon also knows how to shine at times with wonderful, blissfully harmonious solos that you can't get out of your head.
"Blessed be the hunter" is the motto of this - not only musically - diverse album. Frontman and songwriter Waxe likes to share his exciting stories of the new release with the listeners:
"In 'Sun Under My Breast' we sail through dark, demonic times, when it is better to have the sun under your chest. The hammers are proudly crossed in 'Ode To The Hammer' and in 'Tyrannus' we face the haughty tyrants with hope. In 'Gods Of Pain' there are epics about the creation and destruction power of the gods; a warrior gets between the powers, a man who fights shoulder to shoulder with his sword brothers under the wild boar banner in 'Wild Boar Banner' and defies the gods to please them. Our hero faces the wrath of the gods and is finally ambushed and killed by the traitor king. In 'Priestess Of Delight', however, he is brought back to life by the priestess of joy and sent back from the realm of the dead to take revenge on the traitorous king. A ghost warrior who in 'Ghostwarrior' marches forward unstoppably along skull-paved paths to answer the haunting call of his inner beast in 'Release The Beast'. Enter the temple of fiery blood, stone and steel with this hunter," demands Waxe, full of inner fire.
More: "Live and celebrate the cult in 'Cult'! Awaken your own God within you, touch the rainbow bridge, become indestructible and strong like a mountain in 'Mountain'. Blessed Be The Hunter - blessed be love, life, passion and death. Let the steel sing!"
Painter, graphic designer and photographer Gabriel Turner Byrne, who is also based in Kaufbeuren and hails from Tucson, Arizona, was inspired by this, which led to a truly outstanding, thematically representative front cover of the new longplayer "Blessed Be The Hunter".
That Turner Byrne, according to his long-time friend Waxe, 'lives what he paints' gets radiated in an inspiring way by the mystical motif. Eisenheads unite! (Markus Eck)

batch listen playlist - instrumentals
I’m sure you’re familiar with my “batch listen” playlists by now. This one hasn’t been pared down in a long time, so it’s like 60-something songs. Some have been on the “new to me” list in the past. A large chunk of these songs come from different soundtracks, though I didn’t note all of them.
As always, watch videos at your own risk for content; I just listen to them in the background. I’m not being consistent with how I write these lists out, I’ve noticed. For this list, it’s [artist] - [song title] [note in parenthesis about song] - [italic comments from me]

Article By: Pat ‘Riot’ Whitaker, Senior Writer/Journalist ‡ Edited By: Leanne Ridgeway, Owner/Chief Editor
It has been slightly over one month since traditional doom-oriented quartet MANGOG issued the new two-song EP, ‘The Ghost In The Room‘, via Argonauta Records.
Much like the wraith-like entity referred to within the title, the EP seems like some incorporeal effort that many have missed sighting… let alone hearing. That is their loss, as I am here to reveal this short-player may be the best thing the band has given to music fans yet. I stand behind this statement, being fully aware of and well acquainted with, MANGOG‘s 2017 full-length outing ‘Awakens‘, as well as 2015’s ‘Daydreams Within Nightmares‘ EP.
Truth is, MANGOG have no need to prove anything to anyone, for when your band’s roster of players lay claim to past or present positions in Beelzefuzz, Revelation, Final Answer, Against Nature, Major Company, and other notables, this fact speaks for itself. However, when a band reveals their base of operations is Maryland, anywhere in Maryland, and they play doom, well then they had best be ready to be put to the test at some point. That said, I don’t imagine guitarist Bert Hall, vocalist Myke Wells, bassist Darby Cox, and drummer Dao Yu (replaced by Russell Hayward III since the EP’s recording), are at all rattled by this type of challenge.
If we gauge the music of ‘The Ghost In The Room‘ EP as any type of reaction, then there is no question that MANGOG more than hold their own on this latest studio-borne statement. Speaking of studios… well, more like those that work wizardry within them, this EP was mixed and mastered by none other than Drew Mazurek (Souls At Zero, ZAO, Mystic Force).
From the very beginning of the lead-in title track ”The Ghost In The Room“, the essence of Iommi permeates each advancing second. It then takes the track by the throat with beyond-dismal riffing around the 00:25 second mark, each note resonating in your bones for what seems an eternity. Braced by minimal bass lines and drumming, things are soon dragging along a sludgy path that winds its way like a funeral procession. The emotive crooning of Wells is soon well involved, yielding existentially oblational subject matter via a thought provoking lyrical theme contained in the song.
Hall also contributes rather soulful vocals near the four-minute mark, thus creating a point where musically everything briefly gains momentum. Eventually subsiding and tapering down, a reprise of the repeating, semi-hypnotic dirge of dooming audio that initially started things, returns. I especially like the trade-off vocals between Myke and Bert administered a bit prior to the song’s end.
What comes next is an unexpected surprise of a song, one that finds the MANGOG foursome foregoing any doom styling. No, instead “Hubris” is an upbeat blues number chock full of a punk rock attitude and intriguing lyrics, ones where the chorus’ words “I’m all outta fucks to give” will echo in your skull for hours afterward. Their stripped down delivery takes on an almost hymnal state near the song’s ceasing, and it is a right nice touch, too. During repeated listenings while I penned this piece, I could not shake recollections of how much I liked 24-7 Spyz and Living Color in my younger days… memories spurred by this song’s overall sound and style.
MANGOG make quite the mark with their newest release, the two-songs of ‘The Ghost In The Room‘ EP seeming like opposite sides of the same coin. One side a dense, slowly heaving behemoth of momentous portents, pivotal in keeping up appearances when one is connected to Maryland. The other side, a complete change of character where the band intakes adrenaline and throws all care and caution to the wind. The dichotomy of this pair of tracks, “The Ghost In The Room” and “Hubris“, is a most powerful presentation and here’s to hoping there is much more to come from MANGOG.
Stream the EP in this review or head over to Bandcamp [link] or Argonauta Records [link] for further streaming or purchase options.

The Virginmarys, Florence Black, Disgraceland, Quorum
The Junction, Plymouth
24/02/2019
Some nights are all about the wailing guitars. Others focus on soaring vocals. Tonight, in a cracking value bill of four bands at Plymouth’s only real remaining rock venue (thanks to Plymouth City Council, but that is a story for another day), it turned out to be all about those quiet, restrained, sensible chaps at the back; the drummers.
Opening the evening were “the most bang average band you’ll ever hear”, Quorum. Crossing the moors from the rural backwater of Okehampton, they blew away the cobwebs with some high energy Indie rock that quickly won over the crowd. Fronted by Jordan Hookaway (some definite Chester Bennington vibes), flanked by Jake Hodgson on guitar and Noah Groves on bass, they showcased some tracks from upcoming EP “Art Is Dead”. The first of the quartet of impressive sticksmen, Mack Hodgson laid down some intriguing and complex beats. The set was full of sparkle, with a mix of covers and their own, already mature-sounding, material. Check out “Longer” and “Headstrong” when the EP lands in early April.
I recognised most of the next band up on stage from a previous gig at The Junction when they supported The Picturebooks, but this is a different vehicle. Described as “Plymouth’s filthiest band”, Disgraceland’s set was rock and roll in it’s most down-to-earth, ballsy form, with no messing about. Loud, fast, and fun, they ripped through their set of wonderfully titled tracks (“Best Little Doggie In Town”, “100% Cunt” and “Just Some Fucking Words”, for example) all joined together with amusing (and generally foul-mouthed) banter. The photos tell the story better than words, and give an idea of just how much fun they are to watch, especially with a hair-flailing, tattooed, racing snake-figured, crazy, smashing-the-bejesus-out-of-his-kit man at the back.
I first saw Florence Black at Steelhouse a couple of years ago; drawn to them by the patronage of Skindred’s Benji Webbe, and then by the quality of the set they delivered. I also love the reason for the band’s name (Google is your friend) and the Welsh heritage it celebrates, so I was really looking forward to their set tonight. I was definitely not disappointed!
Opening with “Ghost”, the trio took us through a set of crushing power from the heavier end of the spectrum. The phrase “Power Trio” could have been written for these three. Tristan’s guitar is full and heavy, his solos rip through your ears, his vocals gruff and raw. Fozzi’s bass links the rhythm and lead lines almost as a second guitar, and behind them, drummer Perry lures you into a false sense of security with what sounds impressive, but turns out to be relatively restrained skin-thumping. Sweat flies, hair swirls, Fozzi’s face is occasionally visible, but usually hidden beneath his curly mop, and each song seems to get louder, heavier, and better received by the rapt crowd.
The art of a good set is to keep the energy rising, and this is a masterclass as the band take us through “Fiesta”, “The Ride”, “Same Again”, “Smoke”, and “Johnny” (why waste riff writing time on long titles?). It’s the set closer that rips the venue in two though. A cover of Budgie’s “Breadfan” that is incendiary. Remember that “false sense of security” with the drums? It is like someone has released the beast as Perry absolutely batters his kit. The last notes die away and there is a moment or two of silence, followed by a visible, unanimous “wow” from the slightly shell shocked crowd as Florence Black leave the stage.
Usually the stage set up for a band is fairly standard. Drums at the back, guitar one side, bass the other, singer (if there is one) up front. The Virginmarys pretty much lay the stage out in a straight line, with the drums much more prominent. As soon as they take the stage, it becomes clear why. Danny Dolan has to be the most impressive drummer I have ever watched at such close quarters. His arm is strapped with tape. His fingers are strapped and plastered. His seat sits at in improbable height looming above the kit and, rather than a drum for every possible use, his kit is fairly minimal. The rhythms and stick tricks are stunning though. From lightning fast rolls and trills, to battering the kit with crushing power. Standing, sitting, looming over the kit… it is almost impossible to take your eyes off his performance.
The Virginmarys are about much more than Dolan though. On his flanks are two other superb musicians, the three of them playing a brand of music that is impossible to categorise, but immensely involving. They present a ferocious trio. Flying through songs at a terrific rate. Ally Dickaty isn’t a leaping, posing frontman. Instead, his peroxide blonde hair and piercing eyes lend him a more messianic quality at the mic. Ross Massey plays a bass rhythm as imposing as his physical stature. It’s muscly and powerful, and complements the rhythms driven forward by Dolan perfectly.
The set is full of crowd pleasers, and although the crowd isn’t the biggest they will have played to, it was full of dancing and moshing as their performance went down a storm. The Virginmarys were even joined on stage during one song by a particularly keen fan for some cowbell. In a set of so many songs, it is hard sometimes to pick stand out moments, but opener “Get Me Back Home” with it’s sleazy guitar, “Motherless Land”, the superb “Bang Bang Bang” and the speedy “Just ARide” have all wormed their way onto my car journey playlist.
The controlled violence of Dolan’s drumming was shown in a photo released a day later, showing broken sticks and a drum skin showered with droplets of blood. Sums their set up perfectly for me!
