Licorice Chamber is a Tacoma/Seattle-based gothic darkwave project led by vocalist and songwriter Layla Reyna. Blending shadowy melodies with cinematic atmospheres, the band creates an evocative world where post-punk edge meets gothic elegance. With the recent addition of a live drummer, their sound has evolved into a more visceral and dynamic experience-balancing haunting synth textures with driving rhythms that command the stage. Known for their striking presence and immersive performances, Licorice Chamber continues to carve out a unique space in the Pacific Northwest's dark alternative scene.

A whisper and a scream can both cause uncontrollable bleeding from a vulnerable heart and eager listeners. Eve's Black Heart etches the horror of the living and the dead into nightmares and daydreams, stemming from their influences rooted in 1980's deathrock bands such as Super Heroines, Voodoo Church and 45 Grave. Featuring a trio of sirens, monstrous rhythms, and soul stirring distorted guitars, they will leave you wanting to commune with the shadows once again.

Shadowhouse is a Portland-based post-punk band known for their brooding atmosphere, melancholic hooks, and raw, heartfelt delivery. Drawing influence from early goth and deathrock while infusing modern urgency, their music blends driving basslines, moody guitars, and impassioned vocals into a sound both timeless and immediate. Onstage, Shadowhouse channels the intensity of classic underground icons while crafting anthems of longing, loss, and resilience-making them a vital voice in today's dark alternative scene.

Cellographic is an innovative audio visual performance art project developed and performed by Scott Allen Cello, a cellist based in Portland, Oregon, with over 40 years of experience, combining classical training and decades of electric cello performance and improvisation.
