3rd February

Thanks to everyone who came to DV8 for a night of dark music - there were machine guns, dancing mad maxes and lots of dread falls! Played the 'Electronic Remix' of our last song, The Cloner (Guitar broke, but that song can live without guitar). The night was professionaly filmed, and we'll have some footage up soon!

18th January

There's a new group on Facebook you should join - Victorian Local Gothic Music - for discussions on what makes the scene tick, likes and dislikes, and what you would like most to see in upcoming Goth Events!

7th January

Thanks to everyone who came to our gig with Saint Vitus Stance! There's a video here for anyone who wants to relive the fun. We all rocked the Arty, it's a great venue so if you're on facebook, make sure you join one of the groups to save it from closure!

Our next gig is at DV8 - We're starting the night at 11 so don't be late! Following us will be the Death Burlesque of Rouge Foncé and the Dark Theatre of Death of Art, then the post-apocalyptic dress-up party will start - hosted by Maschine, who's DJ's will be playing a mix of cyber, industrial and electronic music.

Comments

Some of the comments from the audience on the Sound of Harpy...

"Harpy sound like a Heavy Metal NIN" ... "Do I detect the influence of the Birthday Massacre?"... "Total dirty industrial punk!"...

Sounds Like

What you hear when you listen to Harpy are confronting female lead vocals, songs of vitriol, catharsis and fantasy, chunky and atmospheric distorted guitars spiralling synths and visceral beats. A common theme runs through the lyrics - defy the world that tries to remold your spirit and identity

Upcoming

Harpy has haunted the Melbourne club scene for a while now, playing event nights such as Transfusion, Heresy, Dark Realm and Enzyme, as well as local clubs and venues. They are currently working on their second EP. Their Debut EP - Trauma - is available online at www.darkstereo.com
