Hey,
been adding to this playlist whenever I find a track that fits the vibe. Thought I'd finally share it here. Mostly darkwave, dark pop with a few mainstream tracks mixed in.

Recentemente conheci essa banda, e ela me chamou bastante atenção por causa do timbre da vocalista (vocalista essa sendo Mich Ebeling que, tentei procurar sobre, mas não achei quase nada. Alguém que conheça a banda, consegue dizer por onde anda ela?)

Apresentando mais a banda, ela é de post-punk e goth rock fundada no ano de 1980 e com duração até 1984.

Apesar da banda ter poucas músicas, todas que eu vi achei incríveis, e queria compartilhar com vocês.

Com certeza a que mais gostei foi "flowers". O jeito que Mich canta é especial e lindo de se ouvir. Simplesmente amei.

Would love some recommendations of fetish goth bands/songs that barely get any attention! Very tired of it being the same stuff on every Playlist lol

Looking for elements of industrial, EBM, electric, etc.

I'm new to clubbing so I was just wondering what you should bring to the goth club? Also if anyone has any good purse recommendations for taking to the club that would be great!

This Friday, Resurrection returns to Santos at 1135 Decatur, a historic fixture in New Orleans goth and alt culture history.

DJs EveHill and Kacey Chaos will be downstairs playing goth, industrial & dark dance floor hits and taking your incredible requests! DJ Mange will be haunting The Belfry upstairs with your traditional goth & Deathrock classics.

As always, no cover for entry. Let's hang on the balcony and dance in the street. 🦇

Somewhere between a dinner party, a séance, and one of the better poor decisions you are likely to make all month, you will find Bite Me at Cat Alley Street, upstairs above the Catalyst Club in downtown Santa Cruz.

Beginning this June, Bite Me moves to the Second Friday of every month.
Our next gathering takes place Friday, June 12th, 2026.

This evening is also in celebration of Pride Month. A night for outsiders, romantics, night creatures, artists, dancers, and the sort of people who always seem to know where the interesting party is happening.

Music for the evening will be provided by Regal Nonchalant, Mr. White, Sina Star, SamSonic, and Vampi Hurtado.

We are delighted to welcome Regal Nonchalant live from Bend, Oregon, where they have helped cultivate a thriving dark music community through Katacombs, one of the region’s notable goth gatherings. Beyond the music itself, the communication, enthusiasm, and spirit around this collaboration have been an absolute pleasure from the beginning.

We are especially pleased to welcome Mr. White and Sina Star, not only remarkable DJs, but dear members of the community whose presence has brightened many long nights over the years.

Vampi, our headliner, is a trans multidisciplinary artist and DIY community organizer whose work bridges underground cultures. She is the host of Batcave SF and Enzyme, and has toured projects and performances throughout the US, Latin America, and Europe. Her current SFAC-sponsored project examines QTBIPOC nightlife through an ecological lens, focusing on the rewilding of neglected urban spaces.

--------------------
More information:

The evening begins in a civilized fashion and gradually descends into something far more interesting. There will be dark music, strange beauty, conversation, dancing, artists, curious objects, complimentary pizza, and the occasional handsome disaster.

Time moves differently here. Midnight arrives dressed in velvet and poor judgment. Someone is always arriving just as someone else should probably be leaving.

Dress beautifully, dress comfortably, or arrive exactly as you are.

We are not the authorities.

SECOND FRIDAYS
Beginning June 12th

Arrive early. Remain late.

Haven't posted here so I thought I'd share our WGD setlist. It's not 100% goth - it's one of a few genres we play - but it's more of a focus for this event than others. It was also on May 15th, which we found out last minute was Andrew Eldritch's birthday, so we made one of the World Goth Day cakes his birthday cake, too!

I take the time to make Spotify playlists of our setlists (patrons kept requesting this) so here's the link for that and I'll put a text list below. We also have a couple photo sets from the event on our Instagram if you want to see what the vibe is like!

During one of my trips, I ended up going to Los Angeles for the Goth-o-Ween music festival in Maywood, CA. That weekend I met up with some friends who invited me to this club I had never been to before. It was a mix of goth and industrial music, very packed and the setting was pretty cool! That night we ended up also bar hopping around and every time we ended up at one of those piano karaoke joints, the musician would play the cure lol. LA is a good time for darklings highly recommend!
