On Saturday 6th August, Cambridge will be celebrating the anniversary of the longest-standing goth-alternative night in the city, and unsurprisingly, everyone is welcome! Come join in the revelry where we shall be celebrating the old and the new, from medieval to steampunk. Dressing up is entirely optional, however there will be prizes for the best-dressed in each category. Despite it being a special event, costs will not be different - £4 entry, or £3 concessions.

If you have facebook, have a look for the event, and for the new "gothsoc" group, as this is probably the best way to keep up-to-date with it all. See you all soon - and spread the word wherever you like! (Comment on this)

9:29 am [veilofvisions]	New book about goth out now!   https://www.amazon.co.uk/Worldwide-Gothic-Chronicle-Natasha-Scharf/dp/1906191190/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1308899340&sr=8-1 Veil Of Vision has had the honour to be included in this goldmine of gothic history! Book Description: This is the first book to look at the impact of the goth scene worldwide, from its origins right through to the present day. From the UK's sprawling post-punk scene, Japan's highly visual movement, the USA's deathrock explosion and Germany's extremely popular Schwarze Szene, Worldwide Gothic explores how they all came about and the influence they've had on contemporary music and fashion. Spat out of punk at the tail end of the 1970s, goth became a major subculture in the UK with bands like Siouxsie And The Banshees and The Sisters Of Mercy scoring Top Ten hits and its fashion inspiring catwalk collections. After the scene died down in the early 1990s, it spread out to Europe where it attracted hundreds of thousands of followers and became assimilated with other muscial genres. This book also looks at how goth is now returning to its roots now with the emergence of dark rock and indie bands who pay homage to gothic greats like Bauhaus and Joy Division. About the Author: Natasha Scharf is a music journalist who specialised in alternative and gothic music. She was the editor of underground gothic publication Meltdown and has subsequently written for Metal Hammer, Prog, Classic Rock and Terrorizer magazines. She co-produced a documentary on the goth scene for BBC Radio 1 called Beyond The Pale and has been interviewed about the scene many times in the media, including on Radio 4's Woman's Hour. She frequently DJs at gothic events across the globe. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

1:49 pm [_pyromancer_]	The Wasteland Setlist 2011 Ok, here's what we played, I think we managed to cover the range rather well - everything from The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing to Within Temptation by way of Gary Numan, Rhombus, OMD, Nightwish, Dyonisis, New Model Army and Inkubus Sukkubus! We're a bit light on huge Trad hits having gone mostly for smaller bands in that genre, we somehow completely forgot to play The Mission (Oops!), and also somehow completely forgot to play both Marylin Manson and Noisuf-X's "Dance Of The Knights" (despite playing it in the cottage before heading down!). But overall, I kind of think it worked. Setlist - Wasteland Whitby, Friday 25th March 2011 Qntal - Virgo Splendens (Test Track) DJ Without_Emotions Dark Sanctuary - Vie Ephemiere Angelzoom - Turn The Sky The Breath Of Life - Spreading Heavenly Blue Mediaeval Babes - La Volta Helium Vola - Je Chante Par Couverture Dyonisis- Hunter Elis - Ballade DJ Pyromancer Voices Of Masada - Alive Vendemian - All Is Lost (All Is Gone) Legion - Love And Violence How To Destroy Angels - The Space In Between Toyah - It's A Mystery Blondie - Atomic Assemblage 23 - Let The Wind Erase Me DJ Without_Emotions Angelspit - 100% (Combichrist Remix) Deviant UK - Access Denied Lady Gaga - Bad Romance (R) Rob Zombie - Dragula (R) Rammstein - Ich Will Nightwish - Bless The Child Type O Negative - I don't Wanna Be Me DJ Pyromancer Epica - Pirates Of The Caribbean Abney Park - Airship Pirates The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing - Goggles The Clash - London Calling The Associates - Party Fears Two Zeitgeist Zero - Party For One And One - Military Fashion Show (R) DJ Without_Emotions Rotersand - Almost Violent XPQ-21 - Beautiful Korn - Got The Life (R) Black Sabbath - Paranoid (R) Garbage - I think I'm Paranoid (R) Inkubus Sukkubus - Vampyre Erotica Gary Numan - Cars DJ Pyromancer Within Temptation - Faster (Video Edit) New Model Army - Vagabonds Rammstein - Stripped OMD - Maid Of Orleans The Sisters Of Mercy - Dominion (R) Nine Inch Nails - Head Like A Hole (R) Rob Zombie - Living Dead Girl (R) DJ Without_Emotions Killing Miranda - Discotheque Necronomicon (R) The Bolshoi - Away (R) Utah Saints - Something Good (R) Star Industry - Last Crusades VNV Nation - Joy (R) Scary Bitches - Lesbian Vampires From Outer Space Rhombus - Leave You To Burn DJ Pyromancer The Last Dance - Once Beautiful Combichrist - Today I Awoke To The Reign Of Blood Mindless Self Indulgence - Shut Me Up (Phono Paul Vatican Broadside Mix) Depeche Mode - Enjoy The Silence (Reinterpreted) Nightwish - Wishmaster Within Temptation - Mother Earth Inkubus Sukkubus - Lose Yourself At The Nympheaum The Amateur Transplants - Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin Current Mood: relaxed (3 Comments |Comment on this)

7:43 pm [asw909]	Photos and other stuff Ok, so now the weekend is over, and I'm back home, it's time for the usual run of photos, and mine can be found by clicking on either of the photos here. Broadly, we had a great time this weekend - the usual silliness abounded, and as part of Real Gothic FC I'd like to thank everyone who came along - we ended up with well over £700 raised for charity. There was one thing that really got my goat over the weekend, though, and that was what transpired in terms of the Sunday night events that "replaced" Laughtons. I've gone into the weekend in full on my blog, but I've put the relevant rant in a cut below. I'm hoping that I'm not the only one thinking along these lines. ( rant time ) No matter what, though, I'll be back in November, of course, as we always are... Current Mood: cynical (45 Comments |Comment on this)

10:01 pm [kev36663]	It may be news to some (although not to others) but the Spa event for Whitby Alt Weekend has been pulled by the promoter. This is obviously really disappointing, I was looking forward to a lot of the bands and I know lots of other people were looking forward to the event. I know a lot of people were going to Alt weekend for reasons such as work commitments preventing them going to the official weekend, or they don't do the Spa and they preferred the look of the fringe events at Alt - or whatever... so...  Contrary to rumours - everything else is still going ahead that weekend.   The itinerary I know of so far is... (as I understand that other events are being looked at...) Events : April 1st Charnel House (Metropole) Gothic, Post-Punk, Industrial DJs (Ghost, Marie and myself) 7pm-1am £5 adv tickets here Majors Soiree (Rifle Club) Steampunk Hub £5 adv tickets here Darklands (Resolution) [rumours also suggest the Alternative *may* be in the Res also] April 2nd Masquerade Ball + live performance from Dyonisis (Metropole) 7pm-1am £6 adv tickets here Steampunk Social (Rifle Club) £5 adv tickets here Darklands (Resolution) April 3rd Sexy Sunday (Metropole) £6 adv tickets here April 4th Manic Monday (Metropole) £6 adv tickets here There's also stalls confirmed for Leisure Centre, Rifle Club and Metropole. Dark Daisy are sorting out refunds for their customers - if you've any queries for them, please point to them as I don't work for them - I'm just DJing a fringe event. If you are planning on coming this weekend, still lots to look forward to and more to be confirmed. (17 Comments |Comment on this)
