I randomly saw on the internet today that Clan of Xymox is coming to Richmond.
I had forgotten all about them and was surprised to find out they were still around. I would have said the same thing if they'd come to Richmond in 2005, which for all I know maybe they did.
It's an all-ages show, which makes me laugh because I cannot imagine there are too many 18 year olds stoked about seeing Clan of Xymox. That should not just be a 21+ show, it should be a 45+ show so all the old people can try and goth out without being laughed at, and they don't play the music too loud and they make sure the whole thing ends before 11.
PS. 4AD was roster of horrifically boring and relentlessly dreary acts, and of all those acts Xymox was the most boring and dreary. Shout out to Throwing Muses who didn't suck, and Cocteau Twins who only sucked sporadically. M/A/R/R/S does not count.
