A rock road trip gone south. Long dark open spaces. A hard road to a pot of gold.
Heroin axle grease traffic jam. An alien abduction in the desert on the drive from Springsteen to Tupac via psychedelic, goth rock and a rain of broken electronics.
1978. The radio's on. It's getting dark and the going is getting weird.
The car rocks like a boat into the endless ocean of the night.
Tracklist
Playing tracks by Bruce Springsteen, Alan Vega, Bauhaus, Sisters of Mercy, Muslimgauze and more.

Springsteen is on the run from the law. Summons the ghosts of Suicide with his guitar and voice. Tragedy and horror dramatically restrained.
Vega starts the engine, droning driving bass that will carry us through. Dark dirty smacky grungy droning and wailing. An ocean of drowned mechanical rock.
Then Bauhaus, pretty black. The last party in the ballroom of the palace, the kingdom consumed by disease. A tuberculosis masquerade.
Back on the train with the Sisters, a poem of what wasn't. A song of being carried away, by the giant slow machine. Coming down but neverland.
Don't fall asleep. A brief interlude. Alien intervention. Muslimgauze communicating from the other world. The alien is more human than human. The day you realise the machine has a more rich and profound emotional and spiritual life than you.
Back in the human world at last. Deep in the purple shag, the guitars finally wail. Epic ecstatic rock opera. 70s mad drug sex horrorshow.
Something sweet for dessert, beautiful mash. A trace of golden soul, violins, Morrison, Tupac. We all hurt.
