Leæther Strip

Thursday's Goth, Industrial, Darkwave, Post-Punk, Synth, New Wave, Alternative Dance Party! We invite LEÆTHER STRIP, Damascus Knives and 11 Grams to join our Dark Constellation! Thursday, October 16th, 2025 at The Renegade * LEÆTHER STRIP * LEÆTHER STRIP is the solo-project of the legendary Danish electronic musician Claus Larsen. First signed by the German Electro Label Zoth Ommog in 1989, this industrial act quickly built a buzz as one of the most exciting emerging acts in Europe in the early 90's. While being a big inspiration to many of today’s younger acts in the subculture, Leæther Strip is still one of the most prolific producers and active international live acts. Claus is known for very uptempo energetic sets including classic hits like "Strap Me Down", "Don’t Tame Your Soul" and unique covers of Depeche Mode, Judas Priest, Soft Cell, Front 242, Ministry, Talk Talk, Lords of Acid, Yazoo, and many classic 80’s synthpop artists. After the success of the "Back To Industry" in 2021, LEÆTHER STRIP is back March 1st with Last Station an all new full release album of original material dedicated to John Rasmussen and released in Kurt’s (Claus’ late husband) memory. Digital and Limited CD are now available for PreOrder https://leaetherstrip.bandcamp.com/album/back-to-industry * Damascus Knives * Damascus Knives is a project inspired by world politics, apocalyptic themes, and junk mail. Acid Techno meets EBM and experimental noise. Damascus Knives (Los Angeles) first released material in the mid 2010’s in the midst of an EBM Techno renaissance and started out with a handful of exclusive live shows and DJ appearances on the west coast. In 2019 the project made a remix appearance on a SYNTHICIDE vinyl compilation along with ANDI, Xerox Tronik Youth and Tunnel Signs, and Upsetter. With all music written and performed by David Christian, the intention of introducing this energetic blend of sounds in the current scene was to innovate and inspire mid tempo beats and basslines reminiscent of the late 80's UK and Belgian New Beat and Acid House rave vibes. * 11 Grams * 11 Grams is a futurist-inspired musical partnership between Simeon Fitzpatrick (Project K11, AUS) & Rob Early (Retrogramme, U.S.A). ��This Australian/American based duo have created an addictive Electro/Industrial/EBM/Synthpop style with catchy bass riffs, complex melodies and precise hi-tech musicianship. 7:00PM - 11:00 PM @THE RENEGADE 3100 Clarendon Blvd Arlington, VA 22201 SCHEDULE: Arrive at 7 pm Grab dinner and drinks Show begins at 8 pm Dance to the best Goth, Industrial, Darkwave, Post-Punk, Synth, New Wave, Alternative music 11 pm $20 ADV / $30 DOS 21+
