New Skeletal Faces
A ten dollar cover on a Thursday is the cheapest test there is of whether you actually like something or just like the idea of it. Deathrock lives or dies in rooms this size, a dive on El Cajon Boulevard where the stage is barely a stage and the band is close enough that you can watch the bass player decide what to do next. New Skeletal Faces have been working this particular vein of Southern California darkness long enough that the crowd skews two ways at once: people who saw them the first time around, and people who found them through a playlist and have been waiting ever since. Music starts late, which is the whole point, because nothing about this is designed for someone who has to be up early. The Banshee is a proper bar rather than a club pretending to be one, so you can still hear a conversation between songs. Thursday is when the scene belongs to itself, before the weekend crowd arrives and thins it out.

They didn't know each other before Falkor either.
