Presented by Goldfields Gothic Festival of Dark ideas
Australia’s premiere satanic gospel experience Dane Blacklock and the Preacher’s Daughter is a decidedly wicked aural and visual extravaganza coming direct to regional Victoria from Dark Mofo, as part of Goldfields Gothic Festival of Dark ideas.
Banishing souls unto the pit of eternal damnation, Dane Blacklock and the Preacher’s Daughter is a bacchanalian feast for the senses as the big band, resplendent with horns (both worn and blown) sound the clarion call to surrender to the desires of the flesh.
Think doom folk, a putrid blues version of gospel, like Tom Waits shaking his bones to James Brown at a full cabaret show and you are only getting close. The message is simple: follow your own bliss, cast off shame and guilt, enjoy life for all of its bounty, accept the chaos of existence and embrace desire.
