Sullen Serenade
Sullen Serenade is a single act initiated by Texan Robert Flores in the autumn of 2006. It was inspired by his unique musical ideas and several group projects resulting in a new work of art. The sound consists of vicious and loud percussion combined with wistful melodies giving it a “soundtrack” overtone. The influence for this derives from an eclectic musical selection, many life experiences, cultures and of course, the love of listening to music. Over the years, Robert has dabbled in various drumming and percussion rhythm with a kit that utilizes percussion instruments from all over the world and rivals Neil Peart’s in size.

The Spiritual Bat
Hailing from Italy, The Spiritual Bat is a classic goth rock outfit. Originally known as Spiritual Bats, the band has always been headed by composer and multi-instrumentalist Dario Passamonti. Other members have come and gone, from co-founder Matteo Bracaglia up to its current incarnation with shamanic drummer and vocalist Rosy Garrì. As a duo, Dario and Rosy really shine, trading the metal aspects for a heightened sense of musicality and composition. The band creates a unique atmosphere unlike anything typically heard in America using a very tribal percussion rhythm, reminiscent of Tool, along with beautifully sung, ambient vocals like the lamentation of some divine being calling from the darkest pits of the darkest cave. The guitars played by Dario are beautifully composed and seem to wrap around you as he plays. Every note carries emotion and forces the listener to heed it's message. The Spiritual Bat have only recently finished their U.S. tour playing through the musical underground and spreading their benevolent, psychedelic, darkness, it is only a matter of time before they return and do it again..In 1994 the Spiritual BatS had the honour of opening for Rozz Williams (Christian Death) and his Daucus Karota.
