Read MoreWith so much going on in the world, Darkwave outfit Drab Majesty decided to deliver something unexpected to fans.
Today, they’ve released a cover of Blind Melon’s “No Rain.” “I made in 2012/2013 on a Tascam 246 cassette 4 track. Happy to be able to share it today,” member Deb Demure said in a statement. Released in 1993, “No Rain” would become Blind Melon’s biggest song, peaking at number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Drab Majesty’s cover, which was mastered by Josh Eustis (Telefon Tel Aviv), coincides with Bandcamp’s No Fee Friday, which gives 100% of earnings to musicians today. It will be available on streaming platforms on May 4.
Drab Majesty have been busy promoting their latest studio album Modern Mirror.
Cruel World Fest is looking to make new wave and post-punk fans happy this spring.
Announced today, the festival will include heavy hitters in the scene such as Bauhaus, Blondie, and Devo. Modern acts such as Sextile, Drab Majesty, and Blaqk Audio will also perform. You can check out the full lineup below.
Cruel World Fest takes place on May 2 at The Grounds at Dignity Health Sports Park in Los Angeles. Pre-sale tickets will go on sale this Thursday (February 13) at noon PST. Registering for pre-sale tickets gives you a chance to win two VIP passes. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday (February 14) at noon PST.

Darkwave act Drab Majesty are gearing up for the release of their new studio album Modern Mirror, which comes out on July 12. Today, the outfit released the music video for their new single “Oxytocin,” which you can see below. The visual was directed by Leigh Violet of Visage Irregular.
