Half Machine Lip Moves logo with ‘#144’ on it.

We returned to the station to do a live show after months of pre-recorded shows. We started this with a block of new post-punk and darkwave tracks. The next two sets were mixes of post-punk, darwave, goth, etc. from Operator OT’s last couple of Club Nevermore sets. Then we finished the show with a set of tracks themed around witches in honor of Walpurgisnacht and being halfway to Halloween.
