Pendu presents horror scores for the dancefloor featuring Мишка fave’s SALEM! If you are a fellow bloglin follower, you should not be a stranger to these guys. We posted about their exclusive We Make It Good mix by and ran a contest for an exclusive SALEM 7.” Now we’re thrilled in helping bring the band to Brooklyn.

Salem are John Holland, Heather Marlatt and Jack Donoghue. John and Heather went to high school together in Interlochen, Michigan and later moved to Chicago where they met Jack. Together they make deeply personal electronic pop music that incorporates gothy shoegaze with elements of Chicago Juke, Houston Screw, and Southern rap production with sometimes terrifying, often beautiful, but always haunting vocals. An audacious project on paper, in reality it is some of the most forward thinking pop music being made today not to mention some of the darkest, prettiest music one is likely to hear for quite some time. For starters, check out below the video for “Dirt”.

This is the kick off to a brand new weekly dance party with live performances and DJs playing new, classic, dark, electro-synthpop hits which we will be sponsoring. In addition to SALEM, Chicago industrial band Gatekeeper will be preforming as well (check out their video below). These guys are fantastic and on  very vintage EBM/Industrial tip! If you’re a fan of dark and dancy this is one show you won’t want to miss! DJ Harrison will be spinning before, after and in between the bands.
