The USA-based post-punk/darkwave outfit Astari Nite has just released their new single, "Miss Rain On My Parade", courtesy of Negative Gain Productions. The single follows the recently released and successful "Unisex Games", which you can hear over HERE.
Vocalist Mychael states: "Validation is not love, and some people are confused by the two. It's unfortunate how many live their lives, yearning for that certain approval by others. This world can be very dishonest if you allow it to be and the longer you continue to dive into someone else's sea of lies, you'll always be alone, with your telephone, and all four walls of the room."
Astari Nite's style is reminiscent of classic alternative bands like Clan Of Xymox and Placebo, yet their modern production and unique lyrical content give them a contemporary edge. Astari Nite is in April and May supporting Rosegarden Funeral Party on selected US dates. Link
