Episode 187: 6/5/2022

Half Machine Lip Moves logo with ‘#187’ on it.

We started this show with a set of darkwave and industrial bands that are playing shows in the Central Arkansas area soon. We followed that with another set of tracks by Mexican goth and darkwave bands. The block after that was a set of weirdo industrial metal tracks, which was followed by a set of synthpop and darkwave songs. The midnight block took a weird turn we played tracks from first and second wave emo bands, and revealed the hidden and forgotten histories of a few bands out there today. Then we closed out the show with a set of spacey and psychedelic post-punk and experimental noise.
