Half Machine Lip Moves logo with ‘#228’ on it.

We began this show with a set of brand new songs. Our friend Dianne joined us and we played sets of industrial, goth, darkwave, post-punk, etc., with an underlying theme of America and patriotism, because this was near the Fourth of July. Then we finished the show with a set of experimental and shoegaze songs.
