| incus? |
[25 Jul 2004|12:31pm] |
It's me again. I'm not begging for a ride to Luna this time, surprise surprise. I don't think there's anyone around here who goes- or at least nobody that is willing to let me come along. So this week Im begging for something different.
Anyone going to Incus at the Lab on Friday? If you let me come along for the ride, I will give you money for gas. Either to or from or both directions.
For a change, this is something I *can* take Greyhound to, but giving someone gas money would still be cheaper than the bus, plus I dont have to spend the night at the bus station, plus you can make some money.
Grateful for any assistance,

| ::Struktur:: RIP |
[23 Jul 2004|04:45pm] |
As of 7.22.04 ::Struktur:: at the Cavern Club is no longer.
Last night after the club had shut down and after 2 weeks of poor attendance where the crowd emptied at 1:15 am, the clubs owner and myself sat down and discussed many alternatives. Failures to compromise and unable to come to an understanding on certain issues, a mutual decision was made to conclude Thursday nights ::Struktur::
Strange thing – there’s not a bitter feeling. Beginning with few expectations, as well as knowing the history of every other startup/failed industrial-goth night in Ann Arbor (save for the historic Necto), there was never any anticipation that the night would last beyond maybe a month’s time. It lasted close to 6 months – on a Thursday, in a town whose elektro scene is small yet dedicated.
::Struktur:: provided a key opportunity to learn many things.
First it was a moment to build a night basically from scratch with a free-form format of “so long as it is electronic, anything goes”. It was nice to build a night such as ::struktur:: and take many ideas and visions and make them reality. Many who visited ::Struktur:: commented on how cool the place was and became regulars. It was nice to be able to try different things such as guest dj’s, release parties, special dj nights as well as live performances. Was often quipped that ::Struktur:: was the testing ground for things to later play at City Club and many times sets from ::Struktur:: would far best those played at City.
Likewise the night taught the hard lessons that unless a venue/management is 100% behind a DJ, in full support, it is extremely difficult to make a club night grow. There was always an issue to advertising in the local papers or via flyers/postcards. “Too much money” the owner would say. One can only do so much via word of mouth advertising/message board posting and it’s the belief that failure to advertise really did the night in. Also management really had no idea what to expect from a Thursday night crowd and just how to cater to the goth/industrial scene. The owner was always ambitious in thinking 100+ attendance was a reasonable goal to achieve and completely ignored the devoted who made that night. It was a constant struggle of a bar owner wanting to only make money versus a DJ who simply wanted to play music and build something over time, yet each one of us could see the reasoning in what we did – but never could come to a compromise. Offers to split ad cost, host a web site and every other option to make the night successful were met with shrugged shoulders.
In the end and after some reflection over a few beers at lunch (LOL), ::Struktur:: offered a lot. It was a stepping-stone for DJ Jinx to launch his successful Monday Factory nights out at Necto, which you all are encouraged to support whole-heartedly. It personally gave me the great fortune of meeting my girlfriend. Other ‘love connections’ generated from people meeting there on Thursday nights.
Would like to take this opportunity to thank those who attended and gave their overwhelming support to the night and fostered it’s development. Much thanks to Mike and Joey - Street Team. Thanks to all the guest DJ’s who came out to spin – it was a thrill to DJ with you all. Thanks to the live bands that gave entertaining performances. Finally thanks to those who made request, talked music, laughed, shared, etc… – all things that made the night unique and forever memorable. There are enough memories to last a good long while.
So what’s next then?
In Ann Arbor – support Factory, Monday nights at Necto with DJ Jinx. If the crowd picks up to 200+ people –and it’s nearly there- they may open the basement area and the chance of DJing downstairs with DJ Jinx still upstairs, may become a likelihood.
In Detroit – Alternate spots at City Club will still occur. Next fill-in spot is this Saturday the 24th - closing shift.
On internet radio – http://www.detroitelectronica.com/audiotech.htm
There’s the trip to the UK to DJ at Infest at the end of August… http://www.infestuk.com
No matter what and where, get out and support the scene. Things don’t last forever so support them while the exist and while you can.
Thanks again everyone
Forever looking forward

Ok, I'm Bosco and I'll be Minister of Sound (aka DJ. I hate that term) at the Tavern On The Park on August 14 for the Noir fetish/bondage show. Now here's the problem. I usualy do New Wave, so I need some help. The boss man told me he wants "Industrial, Goth, Dark". Ok, I've got some of that, but it's the industrial that has me confused. Anyone got some suggestions, good tracks, anything. What would you want to hear?

Well, folks, I got some new songs from electro-industrial group Fektion Fekler up on Soundclick, including a long out of print and rare song called "My Weakest Point", and some of the more ballad tracks from the upcoming CD. Here are the statistics for it so far this week, and these were just put up the other night!
So, if ye be a true pirate, give these crazy Texans a good vote, and enjoy the new tunes! Much more of them from the older albums to come, and I'm in talks with Robert to get unreleased older material on there for you to enjoy as well. I'm also finding my Moksha CD today as well and starting up on that station. I hear alot of industrial groups and forums clammer for a change from the oft-addled Future Pop craze. Well, folks this has been the answer to intelligent dance music long before the Future Pop craze made us ashamed to move, ( Read more... )

Hi,
I live in San Diego but was born and raised in Michigan. There wasn't much gothiness going on in Kalamazoo before I moved, but I did enjoy concerts in Grand Rapids and Detroit.
I wonder if anyone here has seen The New York Room perform live. They are a great band from the K-zoo area.
I would like to know of any Michigan goth bands that any of you like right now. Thanks!
I also come back home each year (well it has been two years now or more...but I am hoping to spend Halloween back in MI) and hope to get some ideas on clubs I could go to. Or any goth friendly stores or events around Halloween.
Nyx

Not sure just yet who has the opener and who has the closer... (John info please???)
I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO SHOW UP FOR THIS NIGHT.
Both Pohl and I have been wanting to DJ a night together for quite some time and I predict this night to be VERY memorable with a strong emphasis placed on the harder bands (Hocico, Suicide Commando, ::Wumpscut::, E-Craft, Amduscia, etc...) So if that's your thing then head out and yes you can also expect to hear the usual favorites as well.
