#gutter gloss

Sunday, January 27th : Come see [0PT-0UT] rock with the mighty electro-industrial powerhouse Gutter Gloss, the intimidating and energetic Gianna Vogel, the hypnotizing, beautiful song-flowing Karacell, with stellar Dj's Trav1sty and Orange Boxcutter! Going down at Stonehouse in Norfolk, VA! Come through!

Part of the growing electronic scene in Hampton Roads, Virginia, Gutter Gloss is a theatrical electronic band combining EBM, EDM, Darkwave, Industrial, and Synth-Pop influences with vocals influenced more by the American Hardcore scene and southern Metal bands like Pantera http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vv3UQhATWRQ http://guttergloss.bandcamp.com/ http://www.altdaily.com/features/music-video-gutter-gloss-stonehouse.html  [0PT-0UT] is a violent, machine-rock band from Norfolk, VA. Sensing a strong need for putting sheer brutality back into electronic music, Gabriel Perry (Hindu Pez, Deathhouse Blues, Red This Ever, We Never Sleep) and Matt McClure created [0PT-0UT]. The band has made it their goal to create the most sincere, vicious machine-rock available, holding modern music in pure contempt. http://regenmag.com/interviews/from-classic-to-caustic/  http://regenmag.com/reviews/0pt-0ut-0pt-0ut/  http://www.reverbnation.com/0PT0UT

Inspired by the suicides of his two close friends, Fitzwater attempts to recreate (and simultaneously relive) the scenes of their deaths. His own suicide attempts fail, however, and it isn’t until he’s force-fed to death by a tuxedo wearing rabbit that his life, and the video, can end. What the symbolism of the rabbit represents is debatable, be he an avatar of over-indulgence or simply a malicious and psychotic figure, but it’s hard not to notice a correlation between Fitzwater’s weight and the method by which he meets his end.

It seems like a safe bet that everyone reading this website right now has been handed more than their fair share of show flyers. And most of the time, they get looked at for five seconds, crumpled up, and shoved into a pocket, to be forgotten about until laundry day rolls around (by which time the show has usually already happened). But wouldn't it catch your interest if, instead of just another piece of paper, a band handed you a horror film? Local electronic groups Little Black Rain Clouds and Gutter Gloss have basically done just that in promotion for their upcoming gig this Friday at Wonderland, and it certainly caught my attention! The video below is a two-minute film created by Joshua Fitzwater and Thomas Duerig of Gutter Gloss, which uses photo-animation to tell a surreal horror story. Set at the Byrd Theatre, the imagery simultaneously evokes David Lynch's Twin Peaks, Donnie Darko, and maybe even a touch of the Jim Rose Circus Sideshow. Soundtracked by a Little Black Rain Clouds song, the video stars the members of that group and eventually turns into a brief performance by the band. The video's primary goal is to promote the show at Wonderland on Friday, and it's certainly successful in that goal, but it's also a pretty cool short film in its own right. Be sure to check out Little Black Rain Clouds and Gutter Gloss with Heretics In The Lab at Wonderland (1727 E. Main St.) on Friday night at 10 PM (check out the EVENT PAGE for more info), but first, watch this video. It's pretty sweet.
