Saturdays Off the 405 ends its 2012 season on October 20 with a performance by Cold Cave and a DJ set by Mario Orduno (DREAM). Guests can enjoy outdoor music and evening views of the city, and visit new autumn exhibitions.
Cold Cave, a darkwave music project of Wesley Eisold, is influenced by both Wesley Eisold's years playing in hardcore punk bands and his interest in industrial music's programmed aggression. Joined by London May, Hunter Burgan, and Cody Votolato, Cold Cave's music gives way to brooding electronic pop music that is filled with melodic synthscapes and jackhammer beats.
Lyrically, frontman Wesley Eisold offers words that hint at nihilism: "I dread clubs, but I love the music they play in them," and "I find it all so disheartening, what we hope to find when we leave our homes." Wesley Eisold brilliantly captures the project's aesthetic: the Morrissey of "How Soon Is Now" wailing over Nitzer Ebb beats. Wesley Eisold's baritone voice is as rich and resonating as Phil Oakley's or Nick Cave's.
