SAN DIEGO Band - POST-PUNK / DARKWAVE / GOTH

From San Diego, California emerges a post-punk, darkwave, and goth band forging a sound both nostalgic and modern and thrives on atmosphere and emotional depth.  

Astrodice is: Victor J. Maldonado (Hex), the founding member, lead guitarist, songwriter and vocalist, who brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to this project. Alexandrea Niell (Astra) whose haunting vocals and synth work add dimension and intensity, while also contributing as a co-writer.  Jovani Contreras (Darqko) drives the procession with their dynamic bass work while also contributing as a co-writer.

Together, they craft music steeped in 80’s melancholy and cinematic tension—echoes of analog synths, driving basslines, and reverb-soaked guitars intertwine with dark, brooding textures. Their sound channels vintage post-punk and darkwave spirit while maintaining a fresh, contemporary edge, creating a moody yet electrifying atmosphere that resonates with both devoted goth audiences and new listeners alike.

Their live performances are more than concerts—they are cinematic experiences. Layers of video projections, sound, and emotion transform each stage into an immersive world, pulling audiences into a realm of romance, mystery, and intensity. 

With their first EP Infinite Perceptions already released, the band continues to shape their dark, nostalgic vision—honoring the past while carving out their own distinct place in the modern underground scene.
