Male Tears + Bestial Mouths

Konsertern presenteras av Kollektivet Livet i samarbete med Klubb Död!

Male Tears Male Tears, is a Los Angeles-based three-piece weirdo-pop and dark synth project led by singer-songwriter James Edward. Formed in the aftermath of the pandemic, the band has quickly become a standout name in the modern darkwave and synth-pop underground, known for blending camp aesthetics, sharp emotional flair, and dance-floor melancholy.

The group first gained attention with their 2021 self-titled debut album, now considered a cult favorite for its fusion of glittery synth-pop nostalgia and melodramatic, tongue-in-cheek songwriting. They followed with Trauma Club (2021) and KRYPT (2023), a deeper dive into shadowy club textures and romantic gloom that solidified their position within the alternative electronic scene.

Their latest full-length, Paradísco (2024), marks a bold turn toward italo-disco, hi-NRG, and neon-soaked pop maximalism. Bursting with energy, hooks, and theatrical flair, Paradísco showcases Male Tears at their most confident and expansive.

Male Tears is currently preparing their new studio album, set for release in 2026 on Artoffact Records, with the first single landing in early 2026. The upcoming era promises a further evolution of their hybrid of darkwave, synth-pop, and camp-infused performance art.

Onstage, Male Tears deliver highly stylized, emotionally charged shows with striking visuals, bold makeup, and infectious energy - an experience that resonates across goth, queer, synth, and alternative music communities.

Bestial Mouths As the voice and spirit of Bestial Mouths, Lynette Cerezo is a majestic and haunting figure. Across international stages, her spellbinding performances take audiences through deeply emotional voidic visions.

From their inception in 2009, the core root of Bestial Mouths has combined Cerezo’s voice with myriad genre influences across the spectrum of goth, industrial, post-punk, New Wave, noise, metal, and other underground sounds using live acoustic and electronic drums and analog synthesizers. With a history in fashion design and gender activism, Cerezo’s visual and social aesthetics are interwoven deeply into Bestial Mouth’s presentation, building outward into captivating theatrical live performances. Since 2018, Bestial Mouths has been the sole project of Cerezo, blossoming outward to incorporate new collaborators, new channels and aural pathways to explore deeply personal lyrics of self-stagnation and trauma.

In their decade-plus existence, BESTIAL MOUTHS have worked with myriad acclaimed producers and artists. Zola Jesus, Mick Harvey, Rhys Fulber, Egyptrixx, Boy Harsher, Die Krupps, Mater Suspiria Vision, Zanias, The Horrorist, and Ludovico Technique are but a few collaborators, while they’ve shared the stage with the likes of Psychic TV, Austra, Chelsea Wolfe, DAF, 3 Teeth, OAKE, Front Line Assembly, White Ring, Suicide Commando, David J, King Dude, Youth Code, Cut Hands and Light Asylum.
