TR/ST, ADULT., Haunt Me, Holy Water [outside]

In the mood to dance yourself clean of the tire fire that was 2024 with the darkest music you can find? Throw on leather, eyeliner, and possibly a coat and head off to mope and vibrate to this Los Angeles-via-Canada moody electronic outfit. On this year’s Performance, Robert Alfons’ void-gazing synth project acquires a cool driftiness to go with its beat science. On NYE he plays with the indestructible synth-punk band Adult., the similarly goth San Antonio outfit Haunt Me, and Holy Water, the latter of whom has likely forgotten more about Depeche Mode than you will ever know. – Joe Gross
