Former DCist tour diarists Silo Halo talk about about their home studio, their transition from Night and the City, and their philosophy on playing live.
In this week’s agenda: Deleted Scenes, EmptyMansions, Goat, The Mean Season, Shabazz Palaces, and more.
Night and the City, the first full-length release from former tour diarists, Silo Halo, is a heavy offering with gothic overtones and nods to new wave and shoegaze.

Silo Halo is a relatively new name in the local music scene, but we’ve seen Christopher Goett, Greg Svitil and Christin Durham in bands like Girl Loves Distortion, Edie Sedgwick, Victor Victoria and The Antiques. We like that their music can go from an experimental pop groove (think Sonic Youth with samplers) to a gothic and weighty force. We also like that they’re taking a tour outside of the comfort zone of the East Coast. So, since we’d like to get to know them better and we haven’t done a tour diary since These United States five years ago (yipe!) we’ve tasked Silo Halo with sending us some words and photos from the road.
