FASCINATION STREET returns to The East Room on Saturday, September 13th! Join DJs Ichabod + Baron von Birk for a night of new, current, and classic dark dance anthems!This month's flyer celebrates the 30th anniversary of Switchblade Symphony's cult 1995 debut, "Serpentine Gallery." An exception to the rules on many levels, the band moved against the mid-'90s goth-grain of 'Sisters-worship, opting instead for darkwave infused with neo-classical elements and twisted storybook themes, while retaining the guitar work and dark vocal presence of trad-goth, leaving us with a unique album that is revered even more today than it was at the time of its release.
So, expect extra doses of Switchblade Symphony, from their debut and beyond, as well as some bonus '90s goth flavor, all within our signature mix of current and classic Goth, post-punk, deathrock, darkwave, coldwave, and batcave anthems. Have a request? Post it in the comments or just write it in when you arrive. Until then, invite your friends, and we'll see you in the fog!
"I swear I won't break you, if you let me take you
where the willows never weep..."

ABOUT FS:
We are faithful to the post-punk sounds the goth scene was built on, but this is not simply a retro night. Plenty of classics, club favorites, and even deep cuts will be heard, of course, but mixed with new & current artists that carry that spirit and expand on it today -- from the intentional revivalists, to the dark punk underwave, our mission is to bridge the past and the future, the icons with the new blood.
