Bootblacks and Divine Shade co-headline UK tour 2024
Bootblacks and Divine Shade are co-headlining a UK tour, starting tomorrow in Edinburgh at Bannermans.
Bootblacks is a Brookyn, New York-based post-punk band formed in 2010 and with a line-up that consists of Panther Almqvist (vocals), Barrett Hiatt (synth) and Kalle Fagerberg (guitar). Although drawing inspiration from the post-punk and darkwave movements of the 1980s, the trio also incorporate contemporary electronic elements into their sound. Bootblacks have released several albums that include “Veins” (2016), “Fragments” (2018) and “Thin Skies” (2020), and have also toured extensively throughout North America and Europe. They are currently putting the finishing touches to a new album entitled “Paradise” that will be issued soon.
A French trio formed by Ren Toner in 2014, Divine Shade is a combination of styles and influences inspired by cold wave culture, along with a touch of industrial rock and electronic music. Releasing several singles and EPs that have included remixes by Chris Vrenna (ex-Nine Inch Nails), the group have toured Europe extensively and were the opening act on Gary Numan’s 2022 UK tour.

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
