Perth’s premiere gothic and dark alternative night… even if it doesn’t believe in labeling itself as the very things that would ensure people not only recognised what it was, but actively attended because they weren’t confused about whether or not it would actually be playing the kind of music that they actively enjoyed.

Then again, no labels allows you to fuck with people’s heads by playing Rammstein, Cannibal Corpse, and Britney Spears… Yeah, you feel threatened now, don’t you…

Sin as at Gilkison’s Dance Studio, 45 Murray.st, Perth.

Entry is normally $5, although Feb 6th is $40 as Aesthetic Perfection are playing.

Who doesn’t want to go to a club that is guarded by a giant metallic Predator?

If you just said you don’t, you’ve lost 3 Goth Points, and are dangerously close to being demoted to “emo”.

Located upstairs at the Enigma Bar, 173 Hindley.st, Adelaide.

Gulag is Melbourne’s only free goth club, running the first Friday of every month.

It also happens to be the only goth club in the country that actually looks like the sort you see in movies, a point that has been spoken about in a previous Gulag review.

There are several positives to Gulag: It’s free, the drinks are fantastic as well as being reasonably priced, there are random drink specials until midnight, and even the bar staff are goths. This is all wrapped up in a friendly atmosphere and a projector that will blind you if you dare attempt to go to the toilet.

The downsides are that the DJs play what they want to listen to, presumably because they don’t have 1.2kilowatt speakers at home, and a lack of doorbitch means that regular people often come in after 1am when the upstairs part is closing, stewed as prunes and assuming that being dressed like a goth means you’re a slut (for women), gay (for men) or a whore (for the people that dress ambiguously). It also tends to get a little cramped as there aren’t really any larger rooms.

Gulag is located in the basement of the Great Britain Hotel, 447 Church.st, Richmond (VIC) and conveniently opposite East Richmond railway station.
