The last Nocturna featured a live performance by the amazing FAITH & THE MUSE and this time, WILLIAM FAITH of the band will be in town to spin a special set of music for our 22nd anniversary! (Resident DJ Scary Lady Sarah will be on hand to play your requests & more, too!) Just a heads-up: If you didn't pick up the most recent Faith & the Muse cd (or any other) while they were in town, William will be bringing various cool merch to Nocturna.
We'll also be graced with a special performance at midnight by Chicago's premiere tribal belly dance troupe, READ MY HIPS. We're so very happy to have them back! :) See their website: ReadMyHips.com
There are tons of cool cd giveaways for this night as well, including:

- Also *lots* of giveaways for "The Romanti-Goth A to Z Coloring Book" and the comic trilogy, "Dead Souls", courtesy of the wonderful people from Seraphemera Books.
- and maybe- just maybe- some Faith & the Muse goodies?! ;)
Nocturna, now in its 22nd year, is an 18+ dark alternative dance night held once every other month (or so) in Chicago. DJ Scary Lady Sarah flies in from Berlin, Germany to spin a highly request-driven mix of current & classic goth, industrial, post-punk, deathrock, ethereal, shoegaze, new wave, ebm, darkwave, dark indie & more. It's a lot of fun & you should go!
