Lee Margot and Michal Laudarg have embarked on a sonic journey onto the thresholds of New Brutalist Theatre and experimental electronic music with a foundation in techno culture. NNHMN’s intoxicating sound is defined by analogue textures and arpeggiated bass lines, with a sense of sonic exploration that veers from post-punk to haunted synth-wave and dark disco and gothic undertones. The nocturnal, synth-driven production is led by Lee’s captivating and compelling vocals, whose seductive and sardonic delivery is inescapably entrancing. The newest NNHMN offering CIRCLE OF DOOM has been released on the 1st of June. This album focuses on a more club-oriented darkwave.

On this Saturday evening, NNHMN will be supported by an extraordinary SHE CAN'T AFFORD MASCARA - the modern heir of Klaus Nomi, dressed in a harsh electro delivery. His captivating performance will give you a genderless, dangerous, fashionable and sexy thrill. The artist Adam Shazard behind the solo project started working as a clubkid in the gay Underground scene. Without any money and an unsupporting muslim family, they would have to steal cosmetics in order to express themselves and fulfill the lifestyle they wished to become and therefore the name “She Can't Afford Mascara” came. Mascara always delivers drama to the darkest corners where self-harming goths and divas dance with make-up running down their chin. It is the meeting of new beat/goth/ebm drama and Pakistani/ ethnic Music tradition S. C. A. M is contemporary Underground theatre and Music in one.
