Night Club

Tickets · $20
7pm Doors / All Ages

TICKETS: www.ticketweb.com/


Night Club is Emily Kavanaugh and Mark Brooks: a dark, electro-goth duo from Los Angeles, CA. Touching upon themes such as mental illness, loneliness, and revenge, their self-released albums have helped them build a cult-like following since their formation in 2012.
In October 2016 Night Club released their 1st LP, Requiem for Romance, showcasing the duo’s discovery of their signature sound, with their single “Dear Enemy” entering heavy rotation in the underground club scene.
Partnering with Titmouse Animation and Google VR, they premiered the 360-video for their single “Show It 2 Me” on YouTube to viral success.
After completing a US tour with industrial legends Lords of Acid and Combichrist in 2017, they found themselves back in the studio. Inspired by their own personal dealings with depression and anxiety, they released their sophomore LP Scary World in August 2018, which debuted on the US iTunes Electronic chart at #4.
Shortly after the album’s release they were picked to open for A Perfect Circle on their Fall 2018 North American tour.
Night Club released their third full-length album Die Die Lullaby on October 9, 2020; written and produced entirely by Kavanaugh and Brooks, and co-mixed by Dave “Rave” Ogilvie (Skinny Puppy, Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, Carly Rae Jepsen).
