Been a while since I’ve posted a new drink… or anything really.

A lot’s been going on with me, and I’ve been feeling a tad locked down. So I decided to drink it profusely!

Now I’m pretty certain that World Goth Day started as a joke and quickly got out of hand, like those Zombie Shuffles and gay pride marches. Sure, now it’s for a charity… but let’s face it, charity is quite literally for losers. OK, maybe I’m just being really harsh about this one because it’s hosted by DV8, the only nightclub where the floor has been so sticky I have literally lost a shoe. Naturally, being a black shoe, at a goth club, it simply blended in and I never found it again. I’ll miss that shoe, it buckled up nicely.

My shoes aside (oh GODS I miss them!!!), DV8 has been running for a while and attempts to be a pan-dark-subcultural club. You’ve got a floor for trad goth, a floor for metal, and a floor for live performances (read: metal & punk). That being said, if people don’t keep drinking or the club’s quiet, everything does tend to get smooshed into the one level.

If you live in Tasmania, other than being very very sorry for you, I’m also aware that you don’t really get much in the way of Goth Club-age. You’ve pretty much got The Coven once a month, and that’s it.

That said, The Coven is actually a really fun club simply because everyone goes to it and are actually really nice about it (unlike the Melbourne gawth scene where the clubs seem to fracture along the lines of DJs friendship circles).

Located in the quayside district of Hobart, Coven’s located at PlanB, a nice little club that has the kind of back alley chic you’d normally expect only to find in Melbourne.

Entry fee is $10 but don’t worry about that amazingly steep price… they also throw in a drink card.

If past experience is anything to go buy, the night will start off with a combination of old favourites and melodic goth metal and slowly progress into some of the more efficient cherman techno, industrial, a bit of hardcore and then go into some overdriven trance.

Not only should it be fun, but it’s pretty much your only option short of swimming to the mainland.

For those of you that are more into the fetish end of Gawth culture, and locatedi n Melbourne, you’re probably already aware of Abode, and the gawfikly inclined nights it runs Neo and Sinthetic.

And you’re probably aware of how unfair it is that we see all these awesome clubs in movies like Preaching to the Perverted where they’ve got people suspended by their back flab in mid-air, or someone’s applying powertools to their crotch for the amusement of everyone else…

Well, at least the powertools to the crotch part is happening, courtesy of Neo Grind. It’s also featuring live acts, and if you’re one of the lucky people with access to the members area, probably live play.
For backflab suspension, there are places in Northcote.

Nestled in Abode in the heart of StKilda, it’s easy to get to, easy to get away from, and located a short walk to a mass of drug dealers and quality restaurants.

Tickers are $25 (possible more at the door) and available from http://www.showclix.com/event/34165/
