Epoxies

Originally, the Epoxies were scheduled to play El Torreon, but it’s just as well that Davey’s adopted the gig as part of its goth/industrial Monday night. Like many of the groups customarily heard at these showcases for sulky sounds, the Epoxies combine pouty vocals with guitar rattles and synthesizer hums. However, this fabulously attired five-piece advocates partying its sorrows away instead of moping about them. Its stage shows, a blur of new-wave hooks, duct-tape pants and strobe lights, provide arena-rock spectacle without the prohibitive cost — or overwrought music — that often accompanies such affairs.
