57 years ago today, on 30 July 1967 THE DOORS started a 3-week run on
top of the US Singles Chart with stone gold master-exploit LIGHT MY FIRE.
As a visual promo the record label used the band’s live
version as played at The Hollywood Bowl on July 5, 1968.
Watch/listen.

Band: DATE AT MIDNIGHT
Who: Italian darkwave act conceived in 2007. So far
they recorded/released 4 albums and a couple of EPs.
Check their Spotify and/or Bandcamp account.
References: Joy Division, Bauhaus, Sisters of Mercy,
The Cure, Christian Death and Fields of the Nephilim.
Single/video: RENDEZ-VOUS
It’s the opener of their new, 4th longplayer
Fading Into This Grace. Stream it below.
TUTV: Rendez-Vous is a head-spinning, obscure, and hypnotic darkwave speedball
that haunts and scares your ears and eyes from start to finish. It sounds like a
risky blind date with a mysterious soul. AWESOME!
DAM about the new, accompanying video clip: “It recalls the nostalgia and melancholy expressed by the song. The story of the protagonist Alessandra Piscopo, an actress already known to audiences of the big and small screen, is intertwined with that of an enigmatic figure, waiting for an appointment that will eventually (perhaps?) arrive in a totally unexpected way. Set in a labyrinthine and evocative Rome, strictly in b/w, the video is shot by Laurivisual, who curated the subject together with us.”
Wake up, people,
you have a date.
Réveillez-vous, hommes
vous avez un rendez-vous.
