Described as dark music for the soul, Omnos delivers mesmerizing guitar melodies with beautifully placed synths and dramatic lyrics. Accompanying Craig with vocals is his wife, Mindy. A cross between Human Drama and The Swans, with elements of Kraftwerk; Omnos\u2019 Dark Neo Folk vibe is sure to leave a lasting impression. Opening the first song of the concert, Rosetta Ruin and Mabsy will do a rendition of Butoh, known as the Japanese \u201cdance of darkness\u201d. Jenn Vicieux will also display a dark electric visual aesthetic Witch House themed dance prior to the start of the concert. Craig will close the night as DJ Du Nord. Also spinning is DJ Datmot and DJ Nocturna.

A strong advocate of mental health awareness, Omnos and Obsidian Productions will be holding a raffle fundraiser ($1.50 per raffle / $10 for 10) towards United Self-Help. Three winners from the raffle drawing will get 1 of 3 prizes (bath, wine or coffee set with a free Omnos shirt included)
