If you live in the US, here’s the latest news from the Dracula’s Ball team…
It’s just about that time – our next Dracula’s Ball event is just ten days away on Saturday, May 23rd at Shampoo Nightclub, from 9pm-2am. Our live performers for this event will be legendary German band Das Ich, and a promising new group from New York City called September Mourning. Both of them are making their first appearances at the Ball. DJs Spider from North Carolina and Addam Bomb from Massachusetts are paying us a return visit, and Ohio’s DJ Fallen will be making his Ball debut. We’ll have three rooms open for your dancing pleasure, all night long (9pm-2am)
Advance tickets (which are less expensive and will get you through the door faster) will only be available a little while longer. Tickets are $15 and are on sale now through IsoTank.com, Digital Ferret CDs, Ticketmaster retail outlets and Ticketmaster.com. If you have questions about where or how to buy or pick up tickets, please visit the FAQ on our website. In fact, visit the FAQ on our site anyway. Admission at the door is $17.
Our venue as once again our haunt of choice, Shampoo Nightclub, located at 7th & Willow Streets in Philadelphia, PA (Mapquest/Google Maps info can be found on our website). As always, the Ball is open to all ages, but you must be 21+ with proper photo ID to drink. There is a large, free, enclosed parking lot, but it fills up quick for the Ball. Personal photo cameras are welcome. Large professional rigs with unpleasant flash bulbs are not. Video cameras are not allowed.
Some more about our performers:
SEPTEMBER MOURNING: If Emily “M” Lazar looks familiar to you, it’s probably because you’ve seen her in a magazine or on a billboard in ads for Draven, Manic Panic or Coffin Case, to name a few. If you’re expecting that her band does bland fashion-runway music, you’ve got quite a surprise coming. September Mourning is metal as hell, with a bit of electronics thrown in for good measure. Their demo was produced by guys who worked with Candiria and Lamb of God, just to give you an idea. They’re from New York City and this will be their first appearance at Dracula’s Ball.
STAGE TIME – 10:35PM

DAS ICH: Getting respect for your studio recordings and getting respect for your live concerts are two different things. Das Ich has consistently had both. Celebrating their twentieth anniversary this year, Das Ich has performed their driving blend of industrial music and gothic themes in several dozen countries, many of which do not speak the band’s native language (German). A Das Ich show is no mere concert; it’s a performance. Expect to hear some of the band’s best-known club hits as well as some of their most recent material.
STAGE TIME – 12:05AM

We look forward to catching up with all of you again very shortly.
Best wishes,
[Patrick] & DB Staff

Just a quick reminder to all our readers that Whitby has its very own Bram Stoker International Film Festival.
Here’s part of the festival’s mission statement:
The Bram Stoker International Film Festival established in order to provide more opportunities and exposure for filmmakers, screenwriters, Sci-Fi and games developers working within the horror, science fiction and suspense genres, as well as to draw more attention to WHITBY by means of our annual Film Festival.
It’s great to see that Whitby is attracting such quality events and this can only be a good thing for the town and its inhabitants.
Oh… and the website is entertaining too!

Let me know what you think or if you have any thoughts about Whitby being used for filming, festivals, etc.
