Concert by the Canadian cold wave duo Traitrs at the Elysium venue in Austin.
Traitrs are playing Elysium on Wednesday, September 30, at 7 PM. They're a cold wave duo from Canada, and this is a headline show with them as the sole act on the bill.
If you're not familiar with the name, cold wave is that specific branch of post-punk that leans into the colder, more synthetic side of things—think drum machines, chorus-heavy bass, and vocals that sit back in the mix rather than on top of it. It's music that works just as well in a dark room as it does on a late-night drive, and that's exactly the kind of sound they bring to the stage. As a duo, they keep the arrangement lean, which usually means the bass and the electronics do most of the heavy lifting.
Coming from Canada, they're playing this as a headlining date, so the set is built around their own material. It's a straightforward night: just the two of them and their gear, no opening act to work through first. The show starts at 7 PM, which is an early start for a Wednesday, so you'll be in and out without it turning into a late one.
