My first time seeing them live. Thought the place was gonna be packed with Turkish people since their music is Anatolian psychedelic rock and they mostly cover Turkish folk, but it was mostly Norwegian people which made it even more fun. Also this was before their vocalist Merve Daşdemir left the group, it will Never be the same, but check them out if you haven’t already.

had a beautiful spot, saw her play the first song of hers i fell in love with, in my hometown at a new to me venue, voice as haunting as ever. fantastic. semi-weak setlist but she played some good unreleased stuff. stood next to a kind older romanian man who was taking pretty neat film/polaroid photos. cool dude, cool evening

this was right before the worldwide lockdown in 2020. it was surreal for me, especially since i'd only started becoming obsessed with their music in 2019 and never thought i'd get to see them in my city, because indie artists rarely made a stop here.
but i got to meet them! got to chat for a bit before the gig, they signed my CD. super chill, nice dudes, and freakin tall, especially andrew / deb demure (frontman) – my asian ass looked like a hobbit next to them.
anyway, it was a really small venue, so the gig was pretty intimate. i got to be in the front row, i was literally standing just a few inches away from alex / mona d (keys). they were amazing live. one of the best darkwave bands ever. hope to see them again someday

Watched this last night while slurping ramen over my couch and it was a 10/10 experience. This docu about a video store in NYC and this obsessive guy following the movies all the way to Sicily just make for an inspirational story of love for the art in the time of digital cholera.
