DECEITS (US)

<p style="text-align: center;">Emerging from Los Angeles&rsquo;s thriving darkwave and post-punk underground, <strong>DECEITS </strong>are set to make their long-awaited Australian debut this December with two exclusive headline performances &mdash; Friday December 4 in Sydney and Saturday December 5 in Melbourne.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Blending melancholic atmosphere with soaring hooks and explosive live energy, DECEITS have rapidly become one of the most talked-about modern acts in contemporary post-punk. The trio&rsquo;s emotionally charged sound has earned them a devoted international cult following, standing apart from the genre&rsquo;s colder conventions with a style that is equal parts passionate, romantic, and fierce.</p><p style="text-align: center;">♱ &ldquo;Too romantic for the punks, too fierce for the goths. We play passionate post-punk.&rdquo; ♱</p><p style="text-align: center;">Formed in late 2021, the band draws inspiration from legendary acts including The Cure, Human Tetris, Motorama, The Chameleons, For Against, New Order and Bauhaus, while forging a sound unmistakably their own. DECEITS consists of Kevin &ldquo;Puppy&rdquo; Moreno (vocals, bass guitar, keyboards), Skylar Francise (guitars) and Francisco Saenz (percussions).</p><p style="text-align: center;">Following a string of acclaimed singles, DECEITS released their debut album &ldquo;If There&rsquo;s No Heaven&hellip;&rdquo; independently in November 2023. Featuring standout tracks such as &ldquo;Drowning In An Empty Sea&rdquo; and &ldquo;Mi Amor, Mi Vampira&rdquo;, the record propelled the band onto major stages across the United States, including a headline performance at Los Angeles&rsquo;s iconic El Rey Theatre. The band has also shared stages with revered names including The Chameleons and Diva Destruction, while earning a coveted appearance at 2025&rsquo;s Cruel World Festival.</p><p style="text-align: center;">With their immersive soundscapes, danceable melancholy and emotionally intense performances, DECEITS Australian shows promise to be essential events for fans of modern post-punk, darkwave and goth music.&nbsp;</p><p dir="auto" style="text-align: center;"><br></p><hr style="text-align: center;"><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>TICKETING INFO</strong></p><p style="text-align: center;">This is an 18+ event.&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center;">Do not attend if you are feeling unwell.</p><p style="text-align: center;">PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:</p><p style="text-align: center;">This will be a general admission standing room show, seating will be available on a first come first served basis on both the main floor &amp; mezzanine.
