Massachusetts-based experimental folk group Walter Sickert and the Army of Broken Toys will be heading over to Portland, Oregon this May for the Convergence 13 festival. This festival will run from May 25 to May 27 and will showcase several gothic artists, vendors, and films, topped off by an old-fashioned Victorian-style circus. Army of Broken Toys will perform with such bands as Faith and the Muse, Frontline Assembly, and Skinny Puppy.
