PLUS DJing of course! Meeting new and genuine people...Dancing and partying at good Deathrock parties anywhere in the world! [Many apologies if I ever meet you at one and then forget! This is due to probably being drunk, and having a bad memory!]

I'm Cavey Nik and I'm a London-based Deathrock/Goth/Gothabilly/Post Punk/Electro and Horror punk DJ and gig [100% independant] promoter, and I run "Dead and Buried", which is the UK's "first and premier" contemporary Deathrock night (now in its' 6th year)! Based in London. We attract a considerable crowd of "beautiful and discerning" regulars ["DaBers"] and draw many folks from out of town, Europe and the USA each month!
I play music to *dance to* and discourage *sitting down* at my events..This aint no sit down "social club"; it's a PARTY!
I'm always looking for cool and interesting new [and old and forgotten] music! Reccomendations welcome
The music we play at D&B is the *real* alternative to the "alternative", the *real* "underground" [as Post Punk/Goth/Punk Rock once was...]
By the way I DON'T LIKE 99.9% OF METAL MUSIC [so don't ask to be my friend if you're a METAL band, ok?!]
*If you are in a cool band and think I may be into your music, please msg me about sending me a cd!* I put on bands at Dead and Buried from time to time.
The Dead and Buried Myspace is here:
"The beautiful and discerning crowd"
"No EBM, No Metal, No nonsense and No Cheese"
"Like a very busy Deathrock cave.."
