Simply access the ball website at http://www.peers.org/vamp09.html and scroll down to the Paypal icon for directions. Waltz the night away in a beautiful candlelit ballroom with the San Francisco Bay Area?s most glamorous Undead at the 16th Annual Le Bal des Vampires. Suggested costume is evening dress of the century and country of your ?rebirth.? This may include dress uniform, period costume (authentic or fantasy), vintage attire, or modern evening dress. There is no dress code for the ball (We certainly don?t expect Spike to attend in black tie!), but you will see some of the most gorgeous and creative costumes of the social season at Le Bal des Vampires. This year there will once again be simultaneous dancing on two separate floors: Our band in the elegant upstairs ballroom is the stylish but always dashing chamber ensemble Bangers & Mash. As usual, haunting waltzes dominate the program, but the evening will feature a variety of dance music from across the centuries ? from 18th century Baroque contredanses to 19th century Victorian rotary and Viennese waltzes, polkas, and mazurkas; to elegant early 20th century tangos, blues, and fox trots and even some classic rock and roll Swing. Please note that the band?s first dance set will start at 7:45 pm sharp ? 15 minutes earlier than usual. The dance sets will be unusually long, even by Bangers & Mash?s high standards, so if you do plan to dance, please be certain to wear shoes or boots you can actually dance in. For those preferring a more modern style of dance music and free-style dancing, join us downstairs in Le Bal des Vampires? Dracula?s Daughter?s Discotheque for a wonderfully varied repertoire of music to stir the blood and spirit from 6:30 p.m. to Midnight. Hosted by our principal DJ, Dark Moon, the disco also features a no-host (cash) bar and light refreshments for our mortal guests. Our half-time show in the ballroom is a performance by the celebrated Le Theatre des Vampires. Not recommended for the faint of heart but highly recommended for fans of the genre. For driving directions, public transit options, and costume tips and photo links, please see the ball website at http://www.peers.org/vamp09.html If you have any questions, please email peers@peers.org or call (510) 522-1731

  • Mr. M [6:35AM 08/07/2009]

    I still havent even heard the new Marilyn Manson. Or his last one.

  • Shatter [12:23AM 08/07/2009]

    Remember the first time you heard the "new" in '94"? Well, get ready for the "new" of 2009. It's like that,. Wear eye protection. --S

  • Mr. M [10:44PM 07/07/2009]

    I'm totally open minded to new music if it's good. There is so much total shit out there though. I'll check your recommends for sure. In the meantime I'll keep pushing play on the Static-X & Mushroomhead. And I still love 1983 & 1973 & 1963 &......... lol Cha cha cha......

  • Shatter [7:42PM 02/07/2009]

    No, rarely, yes, sometimes, once in a while, yes, never. Understand, it's the year 2009, not 1993. Update your music to include Grendel, Combichrist, Terrorfakt, Soman, Rottersand, etc. --S

  • Mr. M [8:00PM 01/07/2009]

    Do you play Lords of Acid, Rob Zombie, BiGod20, Machines of Loving Grace, Die Warzaw, Frontline Assembly, Sisters of Mercy, etc........ Do you post playlists on this tribe like they do on the KUSF tribe? I used to love when Club So What would post their playlists from the Kat Club on Folsom. Not sure if that place still happens or not?

  • Shatter [5:22AM 01/07/2009]

    We played a full night of heavy Industrial. As always. --S

  • Mr. M [10:57PM 30/06/2009]

    Fuck gay fucking pride! If I would have known about it before 2:46 pm I would have totally been there. I cunt stay out too late on weeknights anymore for various reasons. Like the job and being a heart patient and all that fun stuff. But if I would have had more notice I would have totally been there and Mr Shatterz me wouldz have made you drink a Green Bliss and you would have loved it. : ) So twat music was played? How many people showed? I went to The Brewery on Main St P-Town and saw a really good blues band and met some cool people.

  • Ally [4:30AM 29/06/2009]

    yes was a horrible FAIL.. on my part. Could go on and on blahblah I ended up skipping going to pride too.

  • Shatter [1:36AM 29/06/2009]

    You FAILED to show up --S

  • Ally [5:01PM 27/06/2009]

    And one more great thing.. NO MJ playing. See you all tonight

  • Shatter [2:46PM 27/06/2009]

    Replacing your body with steel - one brain cell at a time DIE MASCHINEN Our last, best hope for Industrial! TH@D from Socal will be back attempting to wear out his welcome in San Francisco plus his motley coterie of constituents. Makita, Shatter, Mechagojira and DJ UNIT 76 (he's lost a little weight) will be on hand make sure we stay at a respectable level of distortion. Same Underground Venue as always. We start 11ish and go all nightish $5- Shut up, it's cheap entertainment GOTH/INDUSTRIAL clothing only or you will be stripped, beaten, stuffed in a trash bag and left in a recycle bin. Chances are we just won't open the door, but why risk it?

  • Mr. M [7:55PM 01/07/2009]

    I'll just drink. I only smoke at home now days. I get really mental. lol But if you like Hindu Kush I'll bring one for you.

  • Shatter [5:23AM 01/07/2009]

    Being that we're underground, you can smoke that fatty at the club, and drink to your hearts content. Private party means private rules. --S

  • Mr. M [11:02PM 30/06/2009]

    WTF Beeotch!!! Underground where? Me 41st b-day is the 22nd. Me would luvz to come. PM me B and I would love to meet you in person if youre not gonna kick my ass. : ) I must warn you though that I am very lethal and can totally destroy in self defense. : ) Shall I bring you a phat joint as a peace offering? : ) You can take it home and smoke it later if you dont want it then. No big.
