Evening 2 of our goth festival and we are pleased to bring one of the legendary bands that came out of Leeds in the 80s, Rose Of Avalanche. Strong support from Dawn Of Elysium and then a bit of classic goth via DJ Paul Owens.Ticket info below.
Back after a break of more than 25 years, The Rose of Avalanche return with an album of their previously unavailable BBC Radio 1 sessions, and a prestigious support slot on The Mission's 2022 UK tour.
Formed in Leeds in 1984, the band came to prominence following heavy airplay of their debut single, the “apocalyptic epic” L.A. Rain, by the BBC disc jockey, John Peel. Radio 1 sessions for Peel and Janice Long followed, and L.A. Rain sat proudly at number 26 in Peel’s 1985 Festive Fifty, above songs by The Cure, The Smiths and The Sisters of Mercy.
The band continued to dominate the indie scene of the period, with follow-up singles, Goddess, Too Many Castles in the Sky, Velveteen and Always There, all topping the indie charts. Successful headline tours across the UK and Europe followed along with supporting everyone from Nico to David Bowie.
Magnificently raw, beautiful and loud, The Rose of Avalanche are back to reclaim their rightful place at the top table of alt/goth/rock music.
