Lame Sagittarius W. Spectres of Desire, Magenta Vice
Monday August 10 @ 9:00 pm - 12:00 am

Lame Sagittarius is a Minneapolis-based artist that creates colorful synthpop infused with art-pop experimentation. Blending lush vocal harmonies, sparkling synthesizers, and off-kilter arrangements, their music lives in a space that's dreamy, quirky, playful and fun.
Spectres of Desire is a solo electronic project from Minneapolis that explores the sonic margins of synthpop with a DIY punk
spirit. The project seethes with despair yet offers listeners a beacon of earnestness in a world full of snake oil salesmen.
Themes of loss, abandonment, yearning, and reclamation of the self permeate the work. The live set presents music as a
dialectic, where a base of repurposed hardware colors and conditions the ephemeral superstructure of software synthesizers.
Spectres of Desire offers a glimmer of hope amidst a collapsing world.
Approaching synthwave as a band rather than as producers, Magenta Vice focuses on live hardware performance, working without the use of DAW's. Heavily influenced by Italo disco, electro, and Hi NRG, as well as 70's German kosmische musik, Magenta Vice offers a wide range of moods, blending sounds of past and present.
