Hurtsfall are a local goth / dark wave group, who I know through a musician friend of mine that supports them sometimes. Always a pleasure seeing them live in an intimate setting. The DSM IV are a fully immersive trio with a positive yet warped outlook on the strain that modern society has on mental health. With great electronica beats & curious riffs. Topped off with catchy dissonant vocals. The Grove is a perfect 'underground', venue with charming character. At last, a venue that could become the new Chameleon!
