Bio

Cult post-punk/gothic rock band from Venice (Italy). Their name seems to derive from a neo-romantic painting by Eugene Berman, depicting the dark facade of a church at night. The band starts to play in 1981 and after the first live concerts produces a demo-tape in 1983 (Deca Dance). The sound in this first self-production is really intensive and shows all the potentiality of the band: emotional goth ballads, pure post-punk rhythms and a scent of dark psychedelia are the recipe of this great debut.
