A Portland, Oregon area Goth band.Band/artist history
Cruelty Pageant was formed in 1998 by Carroll D. Kraston. The name being inspired by Antonin Artaud's "Theatre Of Cruelty", Cruelty Pageant's "Glam Noir" sound is heavily influenced by(but not limited to) 80s Goth (Siouxsie, Cure, Joy Division/New Order, Christian Death, etc) and 70s Glam (T. Rex, Bowie, Roxy Music, etc), with melodic basslines that are reminiscent of Joy Division and The Cure, as well as dark, moody sequences.Have you performed in front of an audience?Currently, Cruelty Pageant exists solely as a "studio project", but in the near future, there are plans to expand to a live band that will both challenge and entertain audiences, partially inspired, of course, by Artaud's notions of theatre.
