Off-Beat Promotions present an evening of gothic rock and post-punk from three top UK acts.

GROOVING IN GREEN Champions of high-energy “groove goth,” Grooving in Green deliver thunderous riffs, dark atmospheres and a fiercely modern take on classic gothic rock. “A masterclass in contemporary goth power and melody.” – Dark Arts Review 🔗 https://groovingingreen.co.uk

MY FUNERAL DANCE Mixing post-punk melancholy with shimmering guitars and cold, angular rhythms, My Funeral Dance create brooding anthems that hit both heart and dancefloor. “Haunting, stylish and impossible not to move to.” – Night Shift Zine 🔗 https://myfuneraldance.bandcamp.com

DOOMOOD A rising force in UK darkwave, Doomood blend minimalist electronics, brooding vocals and hypnotic basslines into a shadowy sonic ritual. “Atmospheric and entrancing—darkwave at its most elegant.” – Shadow Veil Magazine 🔗 https://doomood.bandcamp.com

Catch all three on April 2nd, 2026 at Cart & Horses—tickets just £10. An unmissable night for fans of deep, dark, alternative soundscapes!
