Cloak & Dagger: Dusk Till Dawn Festival – Day 1

The Jesus And Marychain @ The Globe Theater Los Angeles

Last weekend, right in between Friday the 13th and Halloween week, The Globe and Tower Theaters located in the center of Downtown Los Angeles held the inaugural Cloak & Dagger: Dusk Till Dawn Festival.

Cloak & Dagger is a weekly members-only underground dance event in Hollywood curated by Adam Bravin, aka DJ Adam 12 of She Wants Revenge.  Cloak & Dagger is an immersive experience made for those who appreciate the “darker” aesthetics of music, nightlife and fashion in LA.  Adam spins a wide range of noir music genres — from goth/industrial mainstays Depeche Mode and NIN, to hip hop groups like Wu Tang Clan and Mobb Deep, and especially to the late great Prince, for whom Bravin was a direct musical protegé and friend.

Cloak & Dagger Dusk Till Dawn Festival @ The Globe Theater Downtown Los Angeles

Dusk Till Dawn Festival was a natural extension of that exclusive Hollywood club night, this time opened up to the public in order to gather together an eclectic mix of both local and nationally touring musicians, new and old alike.

Two nights.  Two downtown music venues.  One dark, dancey festival.

Night One included sets by headliners The Jesus And Marychain, TR/ST,  Com Truise, Health, Drab Majesty, Chasms, H09909 and many more that I couldn’t get to shoot.

Night Two included sets by She Wants Revenge, Poptone, The Soft Moon, Cold Cave, KMFDM, Ohgr, Zombi, and Ssleeperhold
