Thanks to movies like “It Follows,” “The Guest,” and if you want to be real OG RVA, The Taint, it’s not hard to find some awesome examples of dark/brooding retro-synth pop.

Now we’ve got (or had, they’ve been doing this for a while now) Skirts to help round out the sound at any number of local house shows. Check out Skirts live at Our House from a bit back:

Want to hear the best part? There’s a few other Skirts songs floating around on their Bandcamp.

Skirts is Ken Hicks and Soraya Teschner, keep up with them on Facebook here.
