...Of Stardust - Where Purgatory Ends US Premiere (video spot)

You're invited to join us on Thursday, November 3rd at Saint Vitus in Brooklyn for what we believe will be two very special, distinct and parallel events.

All details about this unique event can be found here: http://singevalah.blogspot.com/

Before being a concept, Of Stardust is a warm invitation to spend some time with your friends and be surrounded by good people, can catch up with an acquaintance, listen to some really good music, make new friends, exchange schemes and ideals; it can be whatever you want it to be...

What we're trying to do here is support art. As much as we've fooled ourselves with the idea of originality until now, we realize we don't really believe in it - but we do believe and stand behind authenticity, behind what we perceive as unpretentious and honest ways of expression coming from artists dedicated to nothing but their dreams and obsessions.

Starting at 6 PM and opening the evening we welcome Romanian Visual Artist Costin Chioreanu's amazing exhibition Where Purgatory Ends - a premiere for North America.

This fantastic event debuted on August 19th in the wonderful medieval fortress of Alba Iulia as an integral part of Dark Bombastic Evening Festival III, and it left the crowd awestruck. And now it's here for you to see it, feel it and hear it. It's more than just an exhibition -- it's a three-part experience. For those in the know, Costin has collaborated so far with artists like Darkthrone, Mayhem, Ulver, Absu, Zemial, Aura Noir, Vader, Destroyer 666, Hexvessel, and many more, including record labels, etc.
Some of his work can be seen here: http://twilight13media.com/

The gallery itself will host thirteen large images printed on black canvas, all representing various important moments in the young Artist's career. Some of these beautiful works are dreams waiting to materialize while others are pure, idealized utopias. However most are just memories that just really needed to be set free.

At the core of the exhibition lies The Seeker - a personal visualization of the Soul's asexuality, a half-male half-female entity, sentient energy questing for self-discovery through universes and life cycles. Where Purgatory Ends is a unique experience.

Come celebrate two of our most beloved local musicians, Kevin Hufnagel and Mick Barr -- an example of both brilliance and modesty (things we love!). Somewhere in between, if you haven't until now, discover two beautiful names: Portland's Daniel Menche (visiting us exclusively for this event) and Canada's Natanael Larochette (a premiere for New York City!), joining us for the conclusive set.

Musk Ox is a relatively brand new name in the Underground and it will strike a chord with those who love bleak, pastoral influenced ethereal Neofolk. Nathanaël Larochette is a musician born in Auxerre, France but now residing in Ottawa, Canada. Inspired by his adoptive country's magnificent landscape, his lush and acoustic music and will immediately transcend you to albums like Ulver's Kvelssanger, Empyrium's Where At Night The Wood Grouse Plays or Weiland, Opeth's Morningrise or pretty much everything Finland's Tenhi released up till this point. And if you listen closely enough you can easily make an association with Portland's Agalloch or Iceland's Sigur Ros.
