About me: SHADOWPLAY is a free Thursday weekly dark dance party at the glorious FEZ BALLROOM. In a club world dominated by EBM, SHADOWPLAY caters to the diverse world of darkness by playing an erratic blend of every spooky genre, including goth, deathrock, synthpop, futurepop, electro, ebm, 80s, punk, metal, and some darker alternative bands. Requests rule the night (as long as they're good requests) and we try and cater to the dancers in the crowd (non-danceable music you can listen to at home!)
Resident DJs are DJs Horrid, DJ Ghoulunatic and Paradox.
1) You have to be a Shadowplay attendee (unless you are slightly famous and a guest from out of town).
2) You have to actually help promote; as in bulletins on stupid Myspace. (Don't be a lazy bum).
3) If you are playing music only you want to hear; play it at home. We are here to make people dance, not trying to impress them with your rare Belgium B-sides of your cousin's band no one gives a crap about. It's not about you, it's about the crowd.
The reason we are setting these rules is to try and create some consistency with the music in our set lists (but NOT repetition)
LIVE BANDS
Occasionally there is a cover because we try and spice things up with live music. In the past we have hosted acts such as Voltaire, Soriah, Imperative Reaction and others. We try and have local bands open if they fit with the headline act, behave professionally, and don't act like rock stars. Local acts will not get paid because we don't make money either.
Promoters from other clubs; you are welcome to throw down fliers for non-competing nights, just don't be a dick about it. Promote, support, dance, and be polite.
Expect to hear a wide variety of music from the goth/industrial genres... we like to make you dance. Requests are encouraged and appreciated.
Every Thursday FREE!!!! at The Fez 316 SW 11th Avenue, Portland, Oregon. 21+, 9PM til close.
Hey SHADOWPLAY! Thanks for supporting my music. We are touring the U.S.A. & Canada this summer with VNV Nation on the Faith, Power and Glory tour. The dates are listed on my page. Have a great weekend!
Thank you everyone who came out to the show Wednesday, and a special thanks to our three musician contributors: Kevin Wayne, Rob Johnston, and Jim Strange of The Proud and the Damned.
Great show guys!
See everybody next week for another dose of The Remedy.
And remember, the stage is open for any type of talent you might have, not just musicians and comedians. We're still looking for some dancers, magicians, jugglers, and sketch comedy, among others. Or just share a favorite poem, story, joke, opinion, personal experience, page from an old diary, etc.
