Communion ONE presents TWIN TRIBES live Downstairs at The Dome

Formed in 2017 in Brownsville, Texas, Twin Tribes—comprising Luis Navarro and Joel Niño Jr.—quickly became a cornerstone of the modern darkwave revival. Bonding over a shared affinity for 1980s post-punk and brooding atmospheric sounds, they forged a signature style that is both brooding yet energetic, nostalgic yet fresh.

Their DIY ethic fuelled early success with the self-released albums Shadows (2018) and Ceremony (2019), establishing their moody, synth-driven sound. The 2024 album, Pendulum, marked a significant evolution, praised by Post-Punk.com for “seamlessly marry[ing] the Gothic with the romantic.” Its lead single, “Monolith,” rapidly became a major hit, amassing over 28 million streams and cementing their global standing.

Recently, the duo honoured their heritage with the 2025 EP Ecos, transforming Rock en Español classics like "Tren al Sur" into cinematic darkwave anthems. Known for their intense, atmospheric live shows, Twin Tribes has toured globally, sharing stages with influential acts and accumulating over 60 million streams. Their impact is vital, fusing melancholic beauty with driving post-punk energy at the forefront of the dark music scene.
