The Thousands

Description:
It’s a bit embarrassing that we forgot to write up the first Shock of The New party because, to many of you, it is now neither new nor shocking. Nevertheless, the second one is happening this Saturday. A journey into the  "darkest depths of dystopian synth and indie", it is the sort of night Melbourne’s synthpop, new beat, neue Deutsche welle, electronic body music, dark wave, Krautrock, Italo, Dutch electro, new wave and synthgaze fans have been searching for through this town’s morass of poncho folk for months. Can you dig it? Yes you can. WTF is synthgaze? It’s free, that’s what. Question time is now over. – PM
