Carpe Noctum: Twisted Nerve, Chaos Bleak, and Black Rain

It's been two years since Twisted Nerve last graced our stage. Scintillating postt-punk of the first wave, they originally emerged from Edinburgh in 1979, and their live show is still not to be missed!

Special guests Chaos Bleak have been building an ever-growing following over the past few years with their acclaimed live performances and studio output. They take inspiration from the early post-punk sound, before the Sisters became the template. 

Our openers, Black Rain, play Carpe for the first time. A brand new band dark, aggressive post-punk band from the North East, we reckon they're one to watch!

Carpe Noctum is the biggest and longest-running regular goth club in the north of England, celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. Our resident DJs boast a wealth of experience, with past residencies in Leeds and Bradford, including the legendary Flock club night, under their belts, alongside guest appearances at clubs and festivals throughout the North, including repeat appearances at Goth City Festival, Tomorrow's Ghosts, and Infest. Weaving sets from a broad palette of dark alternative genres and subgenres, fuelling and fuelled by the dancefloor, their ethos is that the party is all! Expect tracks old and new, bona-fide classics and hidden gems, foot-stompers and lightbulb-changers.
