Tomorrow night at Handlebar!

Our World Goth Day ft. Eva X, Siviyex, Sine Ritual party is happening!

What's great about this? Well, let me tell you:

Three AMAZING live bands, with Eva X flying in from Vancouver, and the incredible Siviyex and Sine Ritual!

FREE DANCE PARTY AFTER ~1130PM! Maybe you can't make it for the bands. Maybe you have a fear of live music? I don't know, but you can come to this! Of course you're always welcome to support the bands and buy their merch or just slip them a $20 or whatever. We're going till 2am REGAAAAARDLESS

No creeps! Maybe you're a creep and you're reading this, thinking "s**t, I was going to come out!" Don't! Don't even. Thanks anyhow, you're not welcome!

Come dressed up! Come dressed down! It'll be a blast either way!

Ticket link in comments. Love you.

Just a reminder! This is coming up on Saturday! Advanced tickets ensure entry, and it's $25 at the door (no one turned away for lack of funds/PWYC). Ticket link in comments!!

LIVE BANDS! DJ AFTER!

Eva X first time in Toronto! To think of the trajectory this project has taken since it's inception is incredible. Can't wait for you all to see this in person!

Siviyex Toronto royalty. A band that I could see every day and still be excited about. Dark and moody and deeply musical, their music scratches all the itches in my brain.

Sine Ritual Hamilton's reigning darkwave champion. Best hair in the game. Sine Ritual can't be fit easily into any one genre, and the results are a dark, brooding take on body music with a definitive heaviness.

DJ Vernal Trash spinning strictly dark tracks. Goth classics, modern & hidden gems, stuff to sway and stomp and do various hand gestures to.

Also, a bit of housekeeping:
If you're feeling like behaving like a creep and sending people unsolicited messages with s*x pest overtones, don't come to our events. You will be made to leave.
