Thief plays Gold Diggers, a 200-capacity small room in East Hollywood, on Friday, January 8. Also on the bill: Iress and Mothica. The show starts at 7 PM. 21+. Tickets are $19.57 to $25.75 plus fees. This one could sell out: big draw for a room this size (103k listeners, 200 capacity). Thief also has 1 other date on Go See Shows, in Denver.
Redefining dark electronic music, THIEF fuses elements of haunting trip-hop and thunderous industrial rhythms to create an atmosphere that is as hypnotic as it is intense. Formed in 2016, Thief is the brainchild of Dylan Neal, a dulcimer player for the critically acclaimed experimental black metal band Botanist. THIEF's unique approach of amalgamating musical elements from ambient, industrial, choral music and trip-hop into a new sonic experience has long granted THIEF a cult status among the initiated. A reviewer once stated that Thief is the sacred space between Nine Inch Nails and Portishead and that may be the best that language can offer.
There are, at least, seven artists known by this name. 1) THIEF is night music for haunted ballrooms and electric churches. Based in Los Angeles and fronted by D. Neal (ex-Botanist). 2) A collaborative project between singer-songwriter Sascha Gottschalk (voice & guitar) & Extended Spirit.
Iress makes the kind of music that submerges you into another world. Heavy. Dark. Electric. Doom-gaze guitars are layered over ethereal vocals that distort into anguished screams, and are accented by cinematic drums and dancing bass lines.
