In its second year, Out from the Shadows brings post-punk and darkwave bands into the light. The festival aims to bring together acts that keep the legacy and icy sounds of groups like Killing Joke and Christian Death alive, and with a mighty lineup of 21 bands, you'll find music from across the spectrum of goth-rock subgenres. Friday includes Vancouver, BC's EBM-influenced synth punks Weird Candle and the gloomy noise-pop of local veterans the Prids, while Saturday finds the psychedelic meditations of Oakland's Malditos and the sleaze-pop of Berlin's Das Fluff alongside Portland goth powerhouses Arctic Flowers and Soft Kill.
