TR/ST & Buzz Kull in San Francisco

TR/ST is a Canadian electronic project formed in Toronto in 2010 by vocalist and producer Robert Alfons and drummer Maya Postepski. Now centered on Alfons, the project plays dark synth-pop and darkwave and is known for the albums TRST and Joyland, as well as songs including “Sulk,” “Shoom” and “Candy Walls.” After TRST arrived in 2012, TR/ST toured clubs in North America and Europe and performed at Coachella and Primavera Sound. The project undertook another transatlantic run around the two-part The Destroyer release in 2019, including club and theatre dates in Los Angeles and New York.

Buzz Kull is an Australian darkwave and post-punk project led by Sydney musician Marc Dwyer. Begun in 2012, the project works in coldwave, minimal synth and EBM, and is known for the albums Chroma , New Kind of Cross and Fascination . Australian club shows came first for Buzz Kull, followed by overseas dates as the records reached darkwave and minimal-synth audiences in Europe and North America. Dwyer performs Buzz Kull as a solo electronic set built around vocals, synthesizers and drum-machine parts, and songs from New Kind of Cross and Fascination sit at the center of the live set.
