“Sinister Shadows” was created out of the love of death rock and goth rock from the Eighties and Nineties – bands like Bauhaus, The Cure, Sisters of Mercy, The Mission, and Nick Cave.
SINISTER SHADOWS‘ mastermind, Ryan Michalski (Idiot Robot, Ryan Cosmonaught), ran a video magazine called “The Gothic Box” in Tampa Florida years ago and went to such venues as The Orpheum and The Castle. SINISTER SHADOWS wants to bring back the darkness, romance and flair that has been long missed of this sound and movement.
