Grotesque Sexuality are oficially confirmed to play at the prestigious Drop Dead Festival in 2010, which will take a place in Vilnius, Lithuania in August 2010. For such a ‘young band’ to achieve this accolade is more than worthy enough to get a review here!
I have mentioned elsewhere on these pages that I have been amazed at how powerful and dynamic some of the bands from the Russian Federation are – Grotesque Sexuality, who state they are a fusion of deathrock, post-punk, coldwave and no wave music with XX century avant-garde references, are without doubt a great find. Fronted by their vocalist Nattsol (the founder of Grave Jibes Fanzine) they have serious references to the more experimental post-punk pioneers of the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. I adore music that balances on the knife edge of success and failure because that is where invention is – superb.
