Their stage set up emulated a storm with neon lightning bolts, atmospheric thunder, and rain sounds that flooded the venue as the lights went down. Starting with track “WELCOME TO THE…”, duo Han Mee and Jim Shaw emerged from the darkness. The fans immediately went wild - they were crowd surfing, moshing, and screaming back every lyric as the song transitioned into “HORROR SHOW”.

The band just released their debut album “A CALL TO THE VOID” in August of this year, and Mee explained that Shaw had produced it in a shipping container in the rain, giving context to their stage set up.

Their entire UK tour sold-out and the duo confessed they couldn’t believe it. However, as fans screamed back every lyric to “BREATHING UNDERWATER” the hit single off of their album, it was pretty clear why it was sold-out. Mee shared some wisdom with the crowd while giving context to the song; she said, “if you’re feeling something, say it into the world because you’ll feel better”.

As the band had the crowd going crazy for “Candy Coated Lie$”, they invited a fan onstage who gave a performance of his own after proving he knew every word of the song, showing just how dedicated the fans in the audience were. The energy was high, the floor was shaking, and as the band finished with “Glass Spiders”, they vowed to be back soon.
