The Church of the Ecstatic

Church of the Ecstatic 03/11/26 – Baby Bats

Wed, Mar 11, 2026

Tonight, I’m playing 2 tracks each by various artists, pulled from their first/early albums, coincidentally centering on the late 70s to early 80s, and goth/post/punk stuff from the UK mostly. A fun journey into some of the weirder, rougher-around-the-edges tracks by bands I like, many I’ve never heard. Hope you dig it!
