Ciel Noir is a series of special events produced by Blue Skies Turn Black. This edition features lowcore legends Duster and Codeine for rare Canadian appearances and some of the most exciting acts straddling the lines between electronica, post-punk, hyperpop, and techno with Snow Strippers, Model/Actriz and Pelada.
Duster is a reclusive, experimental electronic slowcore band from California. They have been around for a long time.
Snow Strippers is an electronic music duo formed by Graham Perez and Tatiana Schwaninger based in Detroit, Michigan. The duo seems to have time-travelled to 2008 in reminiscence of Crystal Castles, placing the duo squarely in the electronic underground's resurgence.
Codeine is an American indie rock/slowcore band formed in 1989 by Stephen Immerwahr (vocal/bass), Chris Brokaw (drums), and John Engle (guitar). The band pioneered the slowcore and sadcore subgenres of indie rock but with a more experimental attitude.
Model/Actriz is an American rock band whose music has been described as visceral post-punk. Its music features a pulsing blend of danceable noise and a live performance that mirrors the way its records unravel. The band is an experiment in the primal aspects of human experience.
Pelada, the duo of singer Chris Vargas and producer Tobias Rochman, broke out of Montreal's underground warehouse rave scene in 2014 after uploading tracks to Soundcloud, which caught the attention of the global dance music scene. Their collaboration is a blend of urgent Spanish language vocals centred around power, control, and social justice themes with hardware samplers, synths and drum machines.
