SAN ANTONIO – Days after being dropped as an opening act for Charley Crockett over its “Satanic imagery,” Los Angeles duo Twin Temple has announced it will perform in San Antonio this fall as part of Danzig’s upcoming tour.
Twin Temple is set to take the stage on September 11 at Boeing Center at Tech Port alongside Danzig, Burning Witches and Ana. The announcement comes amid national attention surrounding the band’s removal from two of Crockett’s upcoming tour dates.
The husband-and-wife duo, Alexandra and Zachary James, said on social media they were informed they had been removed from Crockett’s shows because of their Satanic imagery.
Crockett addressed the backlash in a lengthy Instagram post, defending his decision to remove Twin Temple from the tour.
“I won’t conform and I’m not sorry,” Crockett wrote. “I might wake up at 1 p.m. on the back of that bus and find out that the opener ain’t working for me that night. Tough luck. Life is hard. This ain’t no temp agency.”
The controversy has since sparked debate across the music industry and prompted support from fellow musicians, including Jack White, who invited Twin Temple to open one of his Los Angeles shows later this year.
Formed in Los Angeles in 2017, Twin Temple has built a following with its self-described “Satanic doo-wop” sound, blending the harmonies and style of 1950s rock ‘n’ roll with occult-inspired lyrics, imagery and theatrical performances. Songs such as “Lucifer, My Love,” “Satan’s a Woman” and “Let’s Have a Satanic Orgy” have made the band a staple in the hard rock and metal scene despite its retro musical style.
Twin Temple announced the San Antonio date Monday as part of its upcoming tour with Danzig. Presales begin July 14, with general ticket sales opening Friday, July 17, at 10 a.m. local tim
