Calgary, AB

Consider Poltergeist your one-stop shop for goth sounds. Kalen Baker and his not-so-merry band somehow manage to mix metal, post-punk, cold wave and shoegaze into a cohesive whole. Slasher movie synth? Check. Disembodied moans, creaky-basement bass and absolute shredding? Check, check, check. Don’t miss this new addition to the Calgary scene at Sled Island.
