Touring group Academy Order, based out of Philadelphia, is bringing its blend of goth, deathrock and post-rock to town alongside local veteran acts Tears for the Dying, Nerveclinic and Support Group. Tears for the Dying is a deathrock band fronted by singer Adria Stembridge that has been around since the early 2000s. The show acts as both a deathrock and industrial must-see and a sort of reunion of local greats; Stembridge says that joining band Nerveclinic, which is now a solo electronic project of Monty Greene, was one of the first she saw in Athens in the late 1980s. This show will be the two’s first together since 2017. Stembridge describes Steve Fitzpatrick of Support Group as an “underground celebrity” whose industrial sound is also a solo effort these days, now without guitars and more experimental than in the past, adding that the two “shared many stages together in the 1990s.”
