February Shows

We're gonna come back strong with two shows lined up this month. On the 17th we're playing with a whole slew of awesome bands from all over the northeast: Arvid Noe, Hyena, Comma, and our buddies/vicious band rivals HelloShark are playing too. It's a Friends + Family show and it's in a super special secret location so email friendsandfamilyvt@gmail.com for the details. On the 27th we're gonna be back at the Monkey House opening for Royal Baths. We have a brand new set and hope to see you all there.

O'Death- Lowtide

So we didn't play the Roadhouse gig on Saturday because Henry almost died of a flesheating stomach worm (don't worry, he's fine), but we're planning on playing 3/17 with Bostonian megatrio Arvid Noe, which is going to rule, because they rule. More details to come; for now here's an amazing video from O'Death, who swung through Burlington last week. Can't recall if they played this song, but the video is spooky skeletal dirtfection.

Grouper- I Saw A Ray

So we're still hard at work on new sounds but in the meantime you can still check in here to see posts on other artists and stuff we love. Here's a video for the Grouper track "I Saw A Ray" off last year's A|A from director Weston Currie. Super dark and awesome. I have a huge crush.

Basement babes: (we are) 1/(thirty)/8

Thanks to all who came out last night to the basement show on South Willard. The other bands killed it, and the crowd was unbeatable. Gloaming is going to take a wee little break from shows to work on some new stuff, but expect us back in full force come February. Black Metal Valentine's? Who knows.

Recording and Shows

Thanks to everybody who came out last night to see us at Buffalo Bill's Party Basement. We had a great time before the cops showed up. Hopefully we can get things fixed up to continue to have shows there. If you missed us last night or just want to see us again we're playing sunday night with our buddies Hello Shark.

In other news we were hard at work last week recording and hopefully there will be an official GLOAMING release sometime in the near future. 

Movin' Picture: Gloaming at Billings 11/3

Becca just posted this extremely well-lit video of us in the hallowed caverns of Billings Hall at UVM for the Friends+Family show in November. We wore masks, the room was a circle, a nice night by and for the people, all.

Gloaming-Irene

Review: Monkey House 12/7

" Last night I saw my friends' band, Gloaming, play at the Monkey House. One of their songs felt like coming home to a dark house when you're drunk and sad. Another song felt like meeting someone and having a perfect 16 hours with them and then never seeing or hearing from them again and being really okay with that. Another song felt like the joy of remembering a sensation that you had forgotten about, like feeling warmth on your skin for the first time after a long winter or the the comforting smell of your Nana's perfume after not seeing her for months. I don't follow music the way a lot of my friends do, I'm not moved by music the way a lot of my friends are, but last night I felt like I got punched in the face with a fist full of peonies. Part of it, I think, is that they are very talented, and another part of it was watching people I know and love make something beautiful and unique and completely a product of their collective energies. It was them, in noise form. And it blew my mind open. "
