Oh Demon City. : )

This post is coming a little bit late, but midterms attacked me.

A while ago I got an email from Das Bunker, an industrial club on fridays in Hollywood. It's a pretty fun club and the email was talking about Demon City, their pre-Halloween party. The main event of the night was a concert from someone they couldn't name until the week of the show. I don't know about you, but whenever there is a "secret" show, of course i'm going to be there!!!

Lucky for me, I am part of Combichrist's little... army? and figured out they were the ones performing. That pumped me up even more, because I really enjoy a lot of Combichrist. I set up my outfit for the show, and treated myself to a few new things.

For some reason I thought that the doors opened at 6 or so, but that didn't seem to be the case. We got there about 2 hours early. It was a long time to wait in line, so we ended up making a few friends along the way. The group of kids behind us ended up talking to some drunk old guys, who WOULDN'T LEAVE. It was pretty hilarious when he began to serenade us with a harmonica.. Singing Ozzy. After trying our hardest not to laugh out loud at these guys and various people throwing up on the sidewalk, we made it inside.
They didn't do to bad of a job setting up for Demon City. There were lots of Halloween themed decorations in celebration and such. The main stage was definitely the best for me, they were spinning a bunch of harsh EBM. : D  I danced for a couple hours before Combichrist came on stage at 12. They did an excellent set considering the difficulties. Das Bunker isn't normally a concert venue, so they have to hire everything out. Apparently they didn't get enough stuff, or on time for that matter. But Combi didn't disappoint.
The makeup was amazing!! Andy looked nothing like he normally did. I suggest looking up some pictures from the show. He actually looked like some kind of zombiething. Very entertaining. They also did 2 encores because we wouldn't leave. THIS SHIT WILL FUCK YOU UP!!!!
When they finished their set, I made my way to the merch table to grab some goodies. Left with a limited edition poster!!!!! wooo!!!!! It's currently getting framed. I know, if you actually think about it its pretty sad.... Nahhhh. I'll post a picture of it maybe today. Just so you all can be jealous of me. : )

The drive home was pretty shitty cause I was so tired from dancing, but i'll be back at Das Bunker very soon.

  2. Hey, thanks for the comment!!!

    Sadly, no they don't dress like that all the time even though they should. This was an exclusive little tour themed as "zombichrist" for Halloween. That's what made this such amazing show!! It was something completely new. ^_^
