Faith and The Muse :: April 18th, 2010 @ Smalls ::

[DJ Saint]

Goth fans, this one should REALLY excite you. Faith and the Muse are one of the dark scenes stalwarts of the genre. As popular and entertaining as Cruxshadows, Dead Can Dance, Sisters, Christian Death, etc..

Faith and the Muse

Well-known and widely respected in the Underground community, Faith And The Muse have already made their indelible mark on independent music and culture. They have been called “an art band with a pop sensibility”; refusing to conform to current fads in music.

Based in Los Angeles, Faith And The Muse came together in 1993 with the intention of taking music to new extremes; both being established veterans in Underground music. William Faith played with such cult icons as Christian Death and Shadow Project; Monica Richards, who got her start in music fronting Washington harDCore punk bands in the early 1980’s, made a name for herself in the post-punk outfit, Strange Boutique.

With the release of five albums and one double CD live/remix album, along with extensive touring throughout the U.S. and Europe over the last fifteen years, the band has managed to gain the attention of a vast assortment of music fans, owing to their constantly evolving sound: undefineable but unmistakeable.

Amidst a diverse musical background ranging from Dark Alternative Rock and Electronica to World Music & Neo-Classical, to Jazz, Avant Garde and Folk, Faith And The Muse provide one of the rarest experiences in art, theater and music. As artists and songwriters, William Faith and Monica Richards have created their own unique universe by allowing no boundaries to the music they write, reaching across historical genre and cultural style.

From personal acoustic pieces and traditional/tribal folk melodies to grand orchestral production and dark rock epics, this diverse combination of simplicity and complexity places Faith And The Muse in their own musical category.

While the music is created by Faith and Richards alone, Faith And The Muse as a live entity includes additional musicians assisting in the expression of the music. Fans never know what to expect from Faith And The Muse live; their performances change from tour to tour, featuring at times theatrical and orchestral instrumentation, or quiet intimate acoustic events, and other times, straight-up hard rocking shows.

On tour in support of their newest CD “ankoku butoh” (which spent an unprecedented 4 weeks(!!!) at #1 in the DAC - German Alternative Charts) this will be Detroit's opportunity to witness this unique act.

Visit and hear music by Faith and The Muse at: official web page

Additional info to be posted this week at Darque Productions

And look for posters/fliers in all the usual shops/haunts soon as well.

Ohhh! Been years since I'd last seen 'em! Hopefully, I'll be in a position to spend obscene amounts of $$ again by the time this gig comes thru.

[DJ Saint]

bump

[deathfearsnone]

I will be in attendance don't know if I will be alone or with somebody got to confirm with someone first cd just made enough to afford the tickets!!! got to love bottle return money

[~Tszura~]

I saw them the first time at the Lab, which was completely awesome! The second time they were somewhere in Hamtramck, but it sucked because of the sound system. You could tell William Faith knew the sound was bad because at one point he went into the bathroom to finish playing the song, lol. And get ready to gasp........I left early because it stunk so bad. AGH!!!! I just couldn't take seeing them like that, as I knew it wasn't them, it was the awful sound system. I've never been to Smalls, but looking at pics, its much bigger than this other place, and looks like it can do them justice.

Can't wait to go!!

Small's is a million times better than Lab and that other place in Hamtramck. This is going to be an epic show for serious.

[slingerlandstyx]

Want!!! ...Although Heather and I will probably be too busy with wedding plans. I'll be more likely to get out and see Frequency 54 in Flint next weekend.

[t1m3k1ll3r]

This show just got better, as D:Konstruct will be the opening act!

[TheOsakaKoneko]

Sweet as!!! :D

[deathfearsnone]

i have the money to go but unsure if i will want to cause smalls is a poorly run venue which does not give a shit about there customers

[t1m3k1ll3r]

We have been doing shows there for a long time and is by far the best small venue we have worked with. Things are run very well there and we have never had a problem. What is your problem with Small's?

[DJ Nocker]

i have the money to go but unsure if i will want to cause smalls is a poorly run venue which does not give a shit about there customers

Aside from the bathrooms, I think the venue is pretty swet...I mean..the cramps are in the music box...how can it be a bad place.
