Shinjuku Thief
Shinjuku Thief is an experimental recording project of Darrin Verhagen, that could be described as dark ambient or gothic industrial.[4] Shinjuku Thief began in 1992 as a trio, consisting of Verhagen, Charles Tétaz and François Tétaz.[5] Eventually, Verhagen became the mainstay. Shinjuku Thief's first LP, Bloody Tourist, was released on the Extreme label. Subsequent LPs were released on Verhagen's own Dorobo label. Verhagen's side-project, Shinjuku Filth, released music in the industrial music genre.
