Blood Club, a Chicago-based Mexican American band, recently made a statement with their single “No Quiero Bailar” from their debut album “Lovesick.” The song, while featuring rhythms that go against typical dance-pop, still has a beat that can attract those who enjoy dark, gothic music. Front man Jesse Flores, along with bassist Daniel Vela and guitarist Jorge Calderon, have embraced a more goth-inspired sound with Blood Club compared to their previous indie-rock influences in French Police.
Their music, characterized by morose lyrics and a baritone monotone delivery, stays true to the goth genre without much stylistic variation. Despite this, Blood Club’s music appeals to true fans who appreciate the dark aesthetic and atmosphere they create. If you’re one of these fans, attending one of Blood Club’s live shows is sure to be a satisfying experience.
In addition to their album “Lovesick,” Blood Club has also released a couple of EPs, “Current Lust” in 2022 and “Crybaby” in 2023, as well as a recent session for Audiotree. The band will be performing at Lincoln Hall on Friday, November 8th, with Faerybabyy and Velvet Wounds as opening acts. Tickets are priced at $20, or $16 in advance, and the show is for those aged 18 and above.
For those looking for upcoming concerts to attend, be sure to mark your calendars for Blood Club’s performance at Lincoln Hall. With their unique blend of postpunk and goth music, it’s a show that true fans of the genre won’t want to miss.
