The ’80s synth-pop band ‘Til Tuesday, which first brought singer-songwriter Aimee Mann to prominence with the MTV hit “Voices Carry,” is reuniting with its original members for the first time in 35 years.
The Cult’s Billy Duffy and Ian Astbury decided to revert to the name Death Cult to revive its original discography. And She Wants Revenge, the post-punk darkwave band from the San Fernando Valley, will play its only show of 2025 at Cruel World.
The rest of the lineup includes a mix of older new wave bands and bands influenced by that era. It includes Blancmange, Chelsea Wolfe, Mareux, Stereo MCs, She Past Away, Clan of Xymox, Nation of Language, Provoker, Depresión Sonora, Kite, N8noface, Wisteria, Actors, Deceit, Light Asylum, and Social Order.
