NEO fetish/gothic is, for want of a better word, and interface point between fetish and gothic nightclubbing.

Every 4th Friday at ABODE, 374 St.Kilda.rd, St Kilda, the club offers a variety of activities for the curious, the regulars, and the members. Originally starting upstairs in what was the members only area, it has since expanded and moved downstairs, allowing for a larger number of people, and a wider variety of displays.

Displays, you ask? (more…)

For over a decade now, the man behind Cyberball has been running a few irregular BDSM/Fetish costume theme nights. Achtung is one of those, with a uniform (particularly militaria) bent to it.

By and large I’m a fan of these events provided they’re in a good venue. Sadly, this one isn’t, being held at Inflation, 60 King.st, Melbourne, with $15 entry fee.

There are a lot of things that Dark Events does right. They’re good with promotions. Find nice DJs. Are ok at not pissing off too many of what I like to call the “fractional scenesters”. It’s just the venue thing seems to be a real bugbear. Since the Paladin effectively became closed down, and goths are effectively persona non grata at what it’s become, it’s been hard for Dark Events to become situated at a venue that is cost effective for the promoter, and not a massively overpriced, understocked shit hole.

DJs include Schism, Doctor D, Robert Cyberman, Iggy D, and Onya Box.
