Concert
Club Moral
Location: The Renaissance Society
Admission: FREE
Club Moral, an experimental industrial noise band founded in 1981 by Anne-Mie
van Kerckhoven and Danny Devos, achieved cult status from day one; cult status
being defined by peers such as Throbbing Gristle. Initially a band and a
performance venue, Club Moral was a definitive staple of Antwerp?s underground
scene of the 1980s hosting acts such as Boyd Rice (NON), Michael Moynhan (Coup
De Grace), Slave State, Whitehouse, Trevor Brown, Clair Obscur, and John Duncan.
Although the venue ceased operating in 1987, the four-piece outfit survived
intermittent periods of inactivity and various line-ups only to become legendary
amongst a new generation of goth/industrial/electronic/noise hounds. After three
decades of performances throughout Europe and Asia, this marks their U.S. debut.
This event will take place in Bond Chapel (on the main quadrangle of the
University, directly east of Cobb Hall).
