Feel the Up: Black Gold Sun on Community, Catharsis, and Saying Goodbye to Bottom of the Hill

Black Gold Sun’s Veronica and Anita are a band rooted in community, catharsis, chosen family, and the radical idea that you should leave a show feeling better than when you walked in. Ahead of their bittersweet September 9th show at Bottom of the Hill, they talk about punk's DIY spirit and the history that brought them here.

It’s Time to play Hookie to go See Hook!

Peter Hook & The Light are taking Get Ready back on the road in 2026, performing the New Order album in full alongside essential Joy Division and New Order tracks. But if you think this is just another nostalgia tour, think again! The Light has turned this catalog into something far more intense: a full-body, emotional, borderline spiritual experience. Those unmistakable Hooky basslines, the darkness of Joy Division, and the sheer force of the band live have a way of converting even the skeptics.
