Meetup link Just me spinning some Halloween themed music, probably focusing on a mix of New Wave and the classics, depending on the crowd. Costumes not required but are encouraged. Hope to see y'all there! -
Remember, if you don't go out and support your local goth/industrial/etc... club nights they'll die off. Then they'll turn into sports bars, and do we really need more of those? So just to recap, here's a list of all the events that I know of in the S.E.MI. area that either have a Goth/Industrial focus or are friendly: -----REGULAR WEEKLY EVENTS----- Monday: Factory @ Necto in Ann Arbor Tuesday: NOTHING! Wednesday: We Don't Have to Dance at Small's in Hamtramck (is this still going on?) Thursday: NOTHING! Friday: NOTHING! Saturday: NOTHING! Sunday: NOTHING! -----SEMI-REGULAR (BI)MONTHLY WHENEVER THEY FEEL LIKE IT EVENTS---- Friday - Saturday: Quite often City Club has a Goth/Industrial night on one/both nights. They used to be strictly Goth/Industrial but now do mostly Techno/Emo evens. $5 if the front room is open, $10 if both rooms are open (may be more on non goth nights/special events.) 9:00-3:30 - 18+ Friday/Saturday/it floats around and pops up wherever the hell it wants 9PM-2AM Thirst Wave / Industrial is not Dead / She's Lost Control at Small's in Hamtramck. TW is alternative 80's, while IinD is more... well... industrial. $5-10ish 21+ -----MONTHLY EVENTS----- Every First Saturday: Asylum @ Villains Beastro (Canada) DJs @Raev, and Surge bring you the best in dark alternative music while surrounded by the cities most unique and interesting venue, with displays from local artists! No cover, but tips are always welcome. Music ranges from Goth, Industrial, Post-Punk, New Wave, Shoegaze, EBM, any anything else that strikes the mood - ranging from classics to brand new releases! 19+. 9pm to 2am. No cover ever. Walking distance to the Detroit-Windsor tunnel The Third Saturday (and occasional other days for special concerts): Something Cold @ The UFO Factory: Minimalist European coldwave mixed with some old-school EBM and Industrial. Every Last Saturday: Happy Endings at Eastern Palace: Mostly New Wave / Alternative with a Goth / EBM track thrown in thrown here and there. The Halloween event is very fun and generally more our style of music. Food is a bit pricey but otherwise a great venue, especially if you like a tiki island theme. Also completely free. 10PM-2AM 21+ Every full moon: Full Moon Party at The Black Salt Bar 9PM - 1AM 21+ no cover. -----OTHER EVENTS TO CHECK OUT----- @PlasticPassion_a2: (Not really a thing these days, but occasionally they will do a reunion.) It has been known to have nights with a dedicated EBM focus. Black Planet @ The High Dive 9PM - 2AM 21+ $5 cover. ....and a few others exist as well. I don't have a lot of info because I don't go all the time, I'm not on Failbook, and no one tells me shit! Further information can be found at: https://www.gothclubs.org/index.php?title=Michigan Outdated historical information can be found at: https://www.vamp.org/Gothic/clublist.html and https://websites.umich.edu/~mauraway/eventslist.html If anyone knows of any other (semi)regular events (or sees any outdated/incorrect information) please post about it and I will update this list. If we don't know then we don't go, and if we don't go... they die. Also if you want to see more goth related events you should consider starting up your own night somewhere too!

Well here's another self indulging event to celebrate making yet another round trip on this ball of dirt. There is no cover, I will VJ along with anyone else who wants to join in. Music will be whatever I like, maybe with some bones thrown to the crowd. Probably will start around 8 or 9PM. Maybe I'll get there early and hang out beforehand too. Any questions please post here or DM me.

This is a slightly different post than the nightlife one and will focus on all the "normie" touristy things in and around Detroit. A rating system has now been implemented to gauge how normie/goth an event is. Normie events get a 0 while goth events get a 6. Events/places I haven't personally attended will be left off the scale. People I know are welcome to suggest ratings changes. It should be noted that just being weird doesn't inherently make something goth. WEEKLY EVENTS: Saturdays: The Gathering @ IHOP in Dearborn Heights, MI (currently on hiatus, will update with information when I have some) GS-4 because it's at an IHOP. OTHER THINGS TO DO: Conventions and Festivals: Cinema Wasteland (Strongsville, Ohio) GS-3.5 for cool horror stuff. ConVocation FrankenFest HearseFest hosted by Just Hearse N' Around GS-2 (not many hearse owners are actually goth, and a lot of normies attend.) The Michigan Renaissance Festival GS-1 Motor City ComicCon Motor City Nightmares Oddities and Curiosities Expo Penguicon GS-1 TecTroit (free) Theater Bizarre Wicked Bizarre (no website found) Museums and Tours: Anatomy of Death Museum GS-4 Cranbrook Art Museum Clinton Grove Cemetery Tour (ticket site currently not working, may need to call to set it up.) Detroit History Tours (including cemetery tours!) GS-5 if it's an actual yard tour, otherwise 0) Detroit Institute of Arts / The Detroit Film Theater GS-1 for the cool part of the church they moved brick by brick and reconstructed there.) Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum GS-0 Michigan Museum of Horror The Michigan Science Center University of Michigan Museum of Natural History Food: The Black Salt Bar GS-5 Jolly Pumpkin Brewery GS-3 Legendary Axe The Raven Cafe Supernatural Brewery Witche's Hat Brewery Shopping: Earthlore Noir Leather GS-5 Rude Trendz in Westland Showtime I will add more soon.

A witch-housey DJ from Lebanon (Thoom) is headlining at the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn on Fri., April 6. Opening are DJ Tammy Lakkis and DJ Habibti. It's supposed to be an interesting dance party + there will be a book/prints fest with lots of locally made comics, etc. before/during the show. Really cool video of Thoom:

Greetings DGN members! Just want to share this amazing video from M'era Luna. Me and my adorable hubby Jurek were filmed and included in the 2016 After Movie for M'era Luna. I can tell you after years of watching videos and their previews and after movies to see myself in one is kind of surreal! I also was interviewed and postted in a Wave Gotik Treffen video from the local new media. They didnt include the interview but some footage of us walking and in a park briefly. I have been making loads of new friends, meeting great people and the move to Germany and Leipzig only keeps getitng better! Look out for me 4:04 seconds in near the end!

Hey everyone your Fairy Gothmother here sharing some cool things from my Goth life in Germany. My husband Jurek and I moved to beautiful Leipzig home of the biggest Gothic gathering in the world Wave Gotik Treffen. Its a goths dream come true. Simply attending it was not enough I want to live it and be a part of it every year! So I am super lucky. If you do not know me I am Cathrine and I grew up in Michigan about a hr north of Detroit near Harsens Island. I always been a bit weird and I got into the gothic lifestyle and discovered Detroit Goth scene. It was difficult with my life, circumstance and location to be a huge part of it but never the less I did at least come experience and meet some of Detroits/Michigans fellow goths and attend some clubs and events. As I got more into the music and life I also took notice of the national and international scene and thirsted for more. I grew to love Industrial music and EBM and so much of it came out of Germany and I discovered M'era Luna and WGT. I knew I would have to learn some German because my love for German music and so I could one day go to these events. After moving to California for a few years I finally decided to go big or go home. I thought why not do something amazing and move to Germany? I do not have children and I may have my medical issues but I have the independence to travel. I began building a network of friends and also began to grow a interest in dating German guys as well. I mean why not go for a cute German goth guy? Anyways fast forward and I have been in Germany over 3 years. I am married to a adorable lovely guy and we have a naked Donskoy cat named Giizmo. We went to M'era Luna together in 2013 and moved to Leipzig end of December 2014. Now we are settling in and working on our goals and plans for our life here. First taking care of priorities but still enjoying some bits of the goth scene when we can afford the time and money. So this thread will be where I share my life in photos with a little blogging about things. I also encourage anyone who has ever experienced or visited to also join in post photos or post comments, photos and ideas about the scene and things you want, want to see and experience. So I will start by posting some photos from the past couple years. Sorry I am not in many since right now until I shed the weight I feel uncomfortable in too many photographs. So I will begin with some pics from M'era Luna 2013 and progress from there!
