Cheap Coffins took the stage with a new setup and a wildly overdriven sound, roaring through and shaking the underbelly of our vessels and venue... In this divine distortion all was made anew, strange artifacts unearthed and brought into screaming focus; a tortured vision of a deep underworld.

Kidskin in a wall of sound & rushing beats; a witch of the dance floor, calling out an ethereal invitation to writhe and move the flesh upon bones, shaking off the calcification of what we become.

Throwback to Sex Ropes & Rock’n’Roll #1, the first of its name. Never did I dream that this weird little sideshow inspired by Industrial music, BDSM art and a general can-do fuck-you attitude would be filling up venues but HELL YEAH HERE WE ARE
A re-union of TSM soul brethren @infernaldesiremachine.com & Cheap Coffins, in an invocation of primal chaos and dissolution.
TLDR Rope stuff loud dark feels
