Teen Gothic

There is an embarrassment of riches for goth, darkwave and post-punk fans of both established bands and new ones in the New York City area and all over the country late summer and early fall. Many of these bands are doing full tours and may be coming to a city near you too if you are in North America and elsewhere! This is an amazing season of shows. I'm sure I've missed some because there are so many to keep track of. Between now and the end of October, you can see:

• Peter Hook and the Light – Aug 27, Terminal 5, performing Joy Division albums (honorable mention to New Order who is also touring)
• The Damned – Aug 31, Sep 1, Chelsea Music Hall
• Black Rose Burning, The Long Losts, Hallowed Hearts, Twin Tribes, Ritual Howls, Then Comes Silence, Nuovo Testamento, Astari Nite – Sep 2 and 3, Murder of Crows Festival, Mercury Lounge and Bowery Ballroom
• Bauhaus – Sep 8, 9, Kings Theatre
• Echo and the Bunnymen – Sep 14, Terminal 5
• Creux Lies – Oct 1, St Vitus Bar
• Pink Turns Blue – Oct 8, Market Hotel
• The Mission UK, The Chameleons, Theatre of Hate – Oct 13, Le Poisson Rouge
• Linea Aspera, Bootblacks – Oct 19, St. Vitus Bar

Show-wise this is a great time to be alive. Loving this. Anyone seeing any of these bands in NYC or elsewhere?
