The Tear Garden at Pacific Electric
Two of the strangest minds in dark music almost never share a stage, which is the entire reason this one matters.
The Tear Garden is what happens when cEvin Key of Skinny Puppy and Edward Ka-Spel spend decades collaborating with nobody asking them to be commercial about it. The result sounds like a fever dream narrated by someone who has read too many banned books — psychedelic, menacing, patient, and unlike anything else the genre produces. It tours so rarely that catching it feels less like buying a ticket and more like confirming a rumor in person.
The venue's warehouse room suits the disorientation exactly. Concrete, low light, nowhere for the sound to politely go.
Go in prepared to have your sense of what a concert is quietly dismantled. Then drag along the person who claims nothing surprises them anymore, and watch that claim fall apart in real time.
