Cold Cave Performing Cremations at the Masonic Lodge, Hollywood Forever

You found this. Be the first one here.

Playing your most abrasive, near-unlistenable early material inside a 1931 Masonic lodge on the grounds of a working cemetery, on purpose, to a crowd that has waited years for exactly that -- only Wesley Eisold would think of it, and only Hollywood Forever would host it. Before Cold Cave became the synth-pop-adjacent project people slow-dance to, it was 'Cremations,' a slab of harsh, hissing early noise that most bands would bury and never exhume. Hearing it performed in full inside that ornate room -- up the old staircase, no elevator, the cemetery dark outside the windows -- is the kind of gesture that makes the whole scene lose its mind. Wear something you would be buried in, get there early for the stairs, and let the noise fill one of the most genuinely haunted rooms in Los Angeles. It is beautiful and unsettling in equal measure. There is nowhere else this show could possibly happen.
