Velvet Acid Christ are absolute leviathans of the industrial electro genre and have been active since 1990.

They garnered a dedicated underground following relatively quickly, with a raft of CDRs swapped among fans in limited pressings in the early part of the decade.

Major label debut Church of Acid came out in 1997, earning critical acclaim and an international audience.

However, it is live onstage where the band truly excels - and on February 18th, they are set to travel to Scottsdale to play at the Martini Ranch.

Entry costs just $10 - and visitors to the city who are hoping to catch the gig may wish to consider booking rooms at the Millennium Resort Scottsdale McCormick Ranch.

This is because the accommodation is ideally situated to access the venue, being a short 15-minute drive down N Scottsdale road away - and jumping in a taxi is a simple enough matter.
