Dracula's Ball - Philadelphia, PA

[The Madame X]

Dracula's Ball in Philadelphia
Featuring kHz and ThouShaltNot
Saturday, Sept. 2nd, 9pm-2am, all ages welcome

Hello everyone,

Wow, theres less than two weeks until the next Draculas Ball! The details of the Ball are below, but first, some current news items. Dont forget that theres not much time left to get your Draculas Ball tickets from IsoTank Music (www.isotank.com). The last day they are shipping tickets is Monday the 28th, so order them now orders of 5 or more tickets get free UPS shipping. After that, you can get tickets from Ticketmaster, or in person at Digital Ferret in Philadelphia. Admission at the door will be available but advance tickets are cheaper and get you in a special fast admission line.

Also, it seems that well have some more media coverage at this event. Author Paul Bibeau will be on hand to research his upcoming book, Sundays With Vlad, published by Crown/Three Rivers Press. Pauls book contrasts the cultural significance of the vampire in its home country of Romania with the pop culture status it enjoys here in the USA. Hell be talking to people, asking questions, and enjoying the event.

This Draculas Ball event takes place on Labor Day Saturday, which is Saturday, September 2nd, from 9pm-2am. The venue will once again be Shampoo Nightclub, located at 7th & Willow Streets in Philadelphia. The musical performers are:

kHz: Think of brass knuckles concealed in a velvet glove, and you're in the right ballpark. From the photo, you might expect kHz's frontwoman to be given to breathily sighed vocals, but you'd be mistaken. This band has a heavy mix of metal and industrial elements with a dash of gothic flavor, and they rock pretty hard. Be sure to check out some of the killer videos on their MySpace site, although they all tend to load at once, so you've got to pause a few of them and watch one at a time. This is kHz's first appearance at the Ball. STAGE TIME - 10:35PM

THOUSHALTNOT: ThouShaltNot's moody and kinetic music stands apart from comparison across postpunk, electronic, and goth genres. The three-piece band is at once desperately raw and epicly refined, experimental and infectious both in concert and on their four albums. In other words, they mix it up, and they do it very well. ThouShaltNot's latest album, Land Dispute was just released at the beginning of the summer and is very much worth checking out. STAGE TIME - 12:05AM

Well have four DJs this time DJs Tom Gold and Mark Paradise (from Florida) will be handling one room as a tag team. DJ Dvork joins us all the way from Puerto Rico. As always, there will be vendors (some old, some new), door prizes, candy, people to meet, and plenty to look at. There were some truly stunning outfits at the Ball back in June, and were curious to see what you guys have in store for us this time.

As always, all ages are welcome at the Draculas Ball. You must be 21+ w/ proper, valid photo ID to drink alcohol. Photo cameras are allowed at the Ball; video cameras are not. Tickets are $14 in advance and $16 at the door. You can get tickets through Ticketmaster, or through no extra charge at IsoTank / Digital Ferret. IsoTank is now offering free shipping on orders of five or more tickets (www.isotank.com) Remember that, besides being cheaper, advance tickets will get you through the door more quickly.
