- Josh Cheon's San Francisco label has a run of showcases in the US planned for the coming weeks.
Dark Entries, the San Francisco label run by Josh Cheon, will hit the road for a five-year anniversary tour that starts later this month.
Since its launch in 2009, Dark Entries has kept busy pushing rare, out-of-print and new synth-focused music, with some 70 vinyl-only releases already piled up in its catalog. The label has shown no signs of slowing down, with a few more reissues dropping next week, including one for Severed Heads' 1984 cut "Dead Eyes Opened," to mark the anniversary.
For this journey Cheon will link up with three label affiliates—REDREDRED, Bézier and Max+Mara—for nine gigs over two weeks. It'll begin at home at San Francisco's Eagle on Thursday, July 17th, and an Oakland show will follow two days later. The tour will then hit the Midwest by way of Chicago and Detroit before heading further east through Pittsburgh and Philadelphia and then winding down in New York. On Tuesday, July 29th, Cheon and company will appear on Beats In Space radio, and later that week they'll take over Nothing Changes in Manhattan and Baby's All Right in Brooklyn.
