A beautiful, black-clad crowd came out to Portland's Wonder Ballroom last night to partake in an electrifying electronic evening, courtesy of LA-based danceable Darkwave minimalists Cold Cave and Synth-Pop legend Gary Numan. I staked out stage-side real estate for both acts, and was glad I did; all aforementioned performers have a real, palpable on-stage presence best experienced through near-proximity.
With one last joint show on the roster (Oakland's Metro Operahouse) and upcoming tour dates with other acts (Cold Cave with Nitzer Ebb's Douglas J. McCarthy, Numan with Nine Inch Nails), catch either group in a town near you.
