Here's a teaser of The Out, releasing 9/16/25!

We lean into our electronic influences here. A little #ebm to compliment our #postpunk and #gothmusic style. The torn paper effect in the vid was done by printing out the pics and photographing each rip, then comping them together like stop-motion.

Announcing the September 16th, 2025 release of our new darkly danceable single, THE OUT.

A jigsaw puzzle arrangement of staccato notes to motivate people to dance with existential reflection.

Snippets and more info soon.

Artwork for the song called The Out by the post-punk, goth influenced band Princess Ugly, releasing on September 16, 2025. Image shows the band name and song title overlaid on a black and white photo of a woman's face oriented horizontally. Her face is effected and appears to be morphing or disintegrating.

Yes! LOVE all three bands. The FLA set is Waxtrax era songs. The only bummer for me is that Nitzer Ebb (though, I am assuming, without Douglas) is playing on other dates, not this one.
Tour dates for Front Line Assembly, Clock DVA, Lead Into Gold.

He did. I dug the guitar and bought it. The 12th Fret in SE Portland worked it over, changed the standard double coils to these big ol' #SeymourDuncan SPH90-1n #PhatCat neck and a Seymour Duncan P-90 Soapbar Single Coil bridge pickups.

1993 Gibson ES-335 Dot.

I asked Frank from Apple Music Co. in NW Portland, Oregon, when it was still open, if a black Dot were to ever come in to call me immediately.

Just saw YouTube's "Third-party training" to "use your content to train AI models" notification. The opt-in was not selected by default - good - but best to double check. The wording of "You can now choose if you want to allow" suggests we've been unwittingly allowing it before? 🖕

I love these instruments, their tone, and playability. You may hear two of my proud moments where this instrument outshines its owner/player, me.

This is my 2nd Ernie Ball Music Man 5 String #Stingray. I named it after what I called my early childhood night terrors, Motoface (Monster face).
