NASHVILLE—Married musical duo Twin Temple claimed Tuesday they were dropped from two upcoming shows with country artist Charley Crockett. The band cited their Satanic imagery as the reason for their exclusion. Twin Temple performs a retro-pop sound. Their songs often feature themes of the occult. They have tracks like “Sex Magick” and “Let’s Have A Satanic Orgy.” These titles apparently did not align with Crockett’s aesthetic.
Satanic Pop Pastiche Meets Outlaw Country
Alexandra and Zachary James, the husband-and-wife team behind Twin Temple, announced the cancellation on social media. They stated that the decision came from Crockett’s management. The band expressed disappointment. They felt their niche brand of devilish doo-wop was misunderstood. “We were told our infernal anthems were ‘a bit much’ for the honky-tonk crowd,” said Alexandra James, High Priestess of Twin Temple. “Apparently, Lucifer’s crooning is not what folks want with their whiskey and two-step.” The band insisted their Satanic imagery was purely artistic expression. They highlighted their commitment to the Satanic Temple’s tenets of compassion and reason.
Charley Crockett’s representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. His recent album, Clovis, has garnered significant critical attention. Crockett is known for his classic outlaw country sound. His music often explores themes of hardship and redemption. The contrast with Twin Temple’s overtly demonic lyrical content was stark.
Infernal Anthems Deemed Too Intense
The duo maintained that this was not their first rodeo with conservative booking agents. “We’ve played many festivals,” Zachary James, Lead Worshipper of Twin Temple, stated. “But typically, the devil’s music is more accepted. Especially when it’s this catchy.” He added that their Satanic imagery was meant to be campy. It was not intended to genuinely offend purveyors of traditional country music. The band was scheduled to play in Austin and Dallas. These were slated to be opening slots for Crockett’s tour dates. The abrupt cancellation leaves their schedule with gaps.
At press time, Twin Temple was reportedly seeking new venues. They were considering local biker bars and underground clubs. Their goal was to find a crowd more receptive to their particular brand of Satanic pop. They hoped to perform their infernal anthems without further controversy.
