Episode 210: 12/18/2022 - The 2022 Holiday HellShow!

on 

Half Machine Lip Moves logo with ‘#210’ on it.

Our 2022 holiday hellshow started with a set that was a mix of industrial, metal, darkwave, goth, and dark punk. The second block was a set of Krampus-themed tracks. We played tracks about some other Christmas-related entities, such as the Yule Cat, Mari Lwyd, Frau Perchta, and others in our third set. The fourth block was a set of winter-themed post-punk tracks in honor of Winter Solstice. We leaned into the holiday blues for the fifth set, then we wrapped up the show with a mix of dungeon synth, post-punk, and more!

We hope all of you have a good winter holiday, whether it’s Winter Solstice, Hannukah, Christmas, Kwanzaa—or a good Sunday if you’re not into any of those!
