Black Doldrums

A London concert by Black Doldrums, the gothic post-punk trio, held at The Old Church in Stoke Newington, a historic religious building in north London.

Black Doldrums is a London-based gothic post-punk trio whose sound is built on pounding percussion, melodic bass and atmospheric guitar parts. With 'Repetition Compulsion'they complete a trilogy of works, and their songs explore psychology, identity and human connection.

On stage, the trio's performances are hypnotic and intense, built on driving rhythms, cascading guitar textures and cinematic moods. The set draws on the band's gothic post-punk identity, with the emphasis on immersive, rhythmic playing rather than on spoken exchanges with the audience.

The Old Church, on Stoke Newington Church Street in north London, is a religious building described as London's only surviving Elizabethan church. The venue is wheelchair accessible, and the concert takes place within its historic walls.
