Diamanda Galas

Listen to new songs by Kneecap, Anastasia Coope, Ellis, Orthodox, bbymutha, Kharma, Gully Boys, Arab Strap, and more.

’Blacklips: Her Life and Her Many, Many Deaths’ and accompanying compilation ’Blacklips Bar: Androgyns and Deviants — Industrial Romance for Bruised and Battered Angels, 1992–1995’ are out in March, and ANOHNI will discuss them with co-author Marti Wilkerson and Laurie Anderson in NYC.

As always, you’re bound to discover something on The Quietus’ very eccentric year-end list.

Galás also just reissued 1986’s ‘The Divine Punishment’

plus Lucius ft. Jim James, Jesse Malin w/ Butch Walker and Willie Nile, Thao and the Get Down Stay Down, Helado Negro, Molly Sarlé, and more livestreams you can watch today since there are no live concerts to attend.

We lost Hal Willner yesterday. He was a gifted producer whose greatest skill may have been his ability to bring together disparate talents that you might not think would fit together but turned out to be truly inspired. One of the places where you can really see that in action was Night Music, a musical offshoot of Saturday Night Live that lasted two weird wonderful seasons…

Goth icon, avant-garde diva and autre legend, Diamanda Galás is like nobody else. Having released two new records back in March, Diamanda returned to NYC for two Halloween performances at Brooklyn’s Murmrr Theatre on October 29 & 31 (both of which were originally supposed to be held at Co-Cathedral of Saint Joseph)…

The awesome lineup also includes Jenny Hval, Juana Molina, Julie Byrne, Kelly Lee Owens, Laurel Halo, Lightning Bolt, Rostam, Sam Amidon, Steve Gunn, and still much more.

The list is being celebrated with a free NYC show tonight, headlined by Rickie Lee Jones, who will perform Pirates in full (#49 on the list).
