Sep 4: Lebanon Hanover
Describing the exoticism of the Levant and the industrious regality of Germany, the name Lebanon Hanover is immediate in its sensuosity. The duo who comprise the band are about as poetic and mysterious as the students in Donna Tartt’s The Secret History, dressed in black and beholden to old literature and goth rock in equal parts. Their music tends to summon such labels as cold wave, gothic and nostalgic. Catch the band at Omni Space this Wednesday night and read up on the duo in our recent interview before the show.
Wed Sep 4, 8.30pm; RMB150 (presale), RMB180 (door); Omni Space, see event listing. Buy tickets here.
