Welcome to MASQUERADE
The Halloween Season begins at Dark Constellation with a night of Venetian decadence, gothic romance, dark intrigue, and forbidden festivities.
Behind every mask lies a secret.
Behind every silhouette, a temptation.
And on the dance floor… the night is yours.
Masquerade Attire Encouraged
Masks, lace, velvet, corsets, decadent suits, sinister elegance, and your darkest Venetian fantasies. Come dressed to impress, haunt, seduce, scandalize, or simply confuse the living.
LIVE PERFORMANCES by:
DANNY BLU
Danny Blu is the sonic embodiment of rebellion—an NYC-based dark pop and industrial pop artist who blends theatrical visuals with unfiltered emotion. Known for his explosive live performances and genre-bending sound, Blu crafts cathartic anthems for the outcasts, the misfits, and anyone who’s ever felt too much.
A proud voice in the LGBTQ+ and alt music communities, Danny channels pain, power, and transformation into every lyric. From haunting synths to searing guitar lines, his music blurs the lines between industrial rock, synth-pop, and electronic chaos—drawing comparisons to artists like Poppy, Nine Inch Nails, Lady Gaga, and IAMX.
With songs that explore themes of identity, trauma, queerness, and rebirth, Danny Blu doesn’t just perform—he purges. His music is a battle cry against conformity and a celebration of beautiful defiance.
Having shared stages with artists across the alternative and underground music spectrum, Blu continues to carve his own space in the dark pop world—where intensity meets vulnerability, and the stage becomes a sanctuary.
Red This Ever
Baltimore-based Red This Ever is the self-proclaimed “coolest triangular peg to fit in a square hole” a delightfully off-kilter blend of New Wave, Synth-Rock, Electro-Pop, and Post-Punk fueled by shy angst, catchy hooks, and an irresistible sense of humor.
Their uniquely dark and clever pop songs seamlessly fuse the sounds of today’s electronic scene with intriguing melodies and infectious rhythms that harken back to the glory days of the Post-Punk and New Wave revolution. With echoes of Depeche Mode, Gary Numan, The Cars, and The Cure, alongside influences ranging from Wolfsheim, Severed Heads, Pixies, and Joy Division, Red This Ever has created a sound that defies easy categorization, but is remarkably easy to relate to.
From synth-driven melodies and goth-rock energy to occasional flashes of wonderfully grim emotion, Red This Ever moves effortlessly across the underground music spectrum. Their songs are dark without taking themselves too seriously, and their tongue-in-cheek live performances transform every show into something far more entertaining than simply standing around watching a band.
The group has shared stages with an eclectic roster of artists including And One, Iris, Das Ich, Attrition, TheSTART, Shiny Toy Guns, Freezepop, and more. For Red This Ever, a great show is about more than just the music—and they have consistently proven that their live performances are not to be missed.
Come early. Dine, drink, dance and lose yourself behind the mask.
