The Tear Garden at The Independent

The Tear Garden brings together two cult acts of experimental music: cEvin Key of Skinny Puppy and Edward Ka-Spel of the Legendary Pink Dots. The project began in 1986 when Key asked Ka-Spel to write lyrics for a track, leading to a collaboration that has spanned decades and multiple albums, including the recent 'Astral Elevator'. Fans can expect a blend of Skinny Puppy's dense, industrial soundscapes with the Pink Dots' psychedelic, labyrinthine songwriting.

At The Independent, the evening offers a chance to hear material from across the project's history, performed by musicians who have shaped the fringes of post-punk and electronic music. The venue's intimate setting suits the immersive, experimental nature of the music. For those seeking a deeper experience, a VIP package includes soundcheck viewing, a group photo op, and exclusive merchandise.
