Cool Summer News for July...

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 04:20:10 GMT

Welcome to The Metro Underground - a fundamental gateway for the entire spectrum of the alternative, adult, & underground scene, striving to provide a synergistic tool to help lift the fog for what's going on in & around the area, assist in the promotion of the scene as a whole, & ultimately to provide a forum through which that bridges can be built - from one culture to another, & from one group to the next.

And in case you haven't noticed, at the bottom of the site we also have links to a series of articles which offer an in-depth understanding for various aspects of the scene. Check 'em out…

- Understanding BDSM & Fetish: http://www.themetrounderground.com/9.html

- Understanding Poly & Lifesyles: http://www.themetrounderground.com/10.html

- Notes on Sexual Orientation: http://www.themetrounderground.com/11.html

Each article has a cross-over Introduction & a special section addressing Sexual Repression. Additionally, there's a Glossary of Common Terms: http://www.themetrounderground.com/8.html

We also want to share some important news & a few highlights for July…

Capitol Punishment - I know there were murmurs that Capitol Punishment might be held on July 4^th but we've since scheduled its return performance for Columbus Day Weekend. So stay tuned, for October will once again host one of the area's most extravagant fetish balls to offer an evening of grand style. And in case you didn't make it to last year's affair, here's a taste for what you missed: http://capitolpunishment.net/parties/Inaugural_Ball2008/index.html

Midnight - Saturday night's longest running Goth night is currently in the process of moving. That's right, Club Midnight recently held its last event at The Meeting Place. However, to dispel any misguided rumors, please note that as a venue they are NOT closing! Scott & his crew will take Saturday, July 4^th off & will be hosting Nachtmar live at DC9 on the 23rd. In the meantime they're scouting for a new & better location, then they'll settle in for a continued tradition of great music. So stay tuned!

La Tache - Old Town's newest addition is making waves & people are taking notice. With a full selection of lingerie, adult toys, fetish gear, & an impressive array of DVD's (all in the heart of historic Alexandria), one gets the impression that times are changing & tolerance is finally catching on. Located at 210 King Street or available online.

Night Dreams of Bethesda will soon be moving to Rockville (11550 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Md.). However, we're not sure exactly 'when' this will take place. So please check our website or call their store for further updates.

Scheduled Shirts - In case you haven't heard, this year Goth Prom saw the launch of a new business. Tony (Co-founder of Alchemy) has launched a new company doing specialty prints for a wide array of various interests. From mainstream to corporate, personal interest or those in the scene - you can customize any print to your own desire. Check it out: http://www.scheduledshirts.com/

In the meantime, here are a few featured events going on in July…

Dunkelheit - please join us on Friday the 3^rd for an "All Amerikan Party" at Dunkelheit . With a focus on dark electric, goth/industrial, synthpop, ebm, techno, & trance, expect such experimental rhythm to keep you dancing all night long…

Closing Night for Artomatic - DC's largest exhibit of independent artists will be closing on Sunday, July 5^th w/ a fantastic line up to celebrate its final weekend. First, at 12:30pm, a special presentation by Eidolon Career Solutions: Career Management for Artists. And of course, The Dark Electric Showcase kicks off from 7-10:30pm. Featuring live performances by Red This Ever, Morgueasm, & Cassandra Syndrom. Belly Dance by Shaell Jones, Music & Sound provided by DJ's Panic & Cosmo. Artomatic is located at 55 M St. SE DC.

Also on the 5^th, F.I.S.T. will be hosting their annual pool party!

VNV Nation comes to 9:30 Club on Tuesday, the 21^st - by far one of the scene's best alternative bands. After-Party will take place immediately following the show at TOWN (just 2 blocks from 9:30 Club). Maybe stop by the DC TNG happy hour before the show? It’s a great way to start an awesome night out.

Nachtmahr will be hosted live w/ Alter der Ruine at DC9 the following Thursday (23^rd) by the promoters of Midnight.

Sat 25th - B.E.S.S. hosts its social play party & a birthday celebration.
- Club Femme is hosted by Mistress Fawn in Glen Burnie.
- Having Parties hosts DC's ONLY official Male/Female/Trans Party.

But these are only a brief few of the great affairs happening for the month!

Ranging from any number of events hosted by The Crucible, BESS, Black Rose, & Capitol Cream (to name only a few), to affairs worthy of a road trip such as Stimulate, Convergence, & Otakon - there's something going on for everyone & every taste imaginable.

For more information on these & a bunch of other cool stuff, check out our main site at www.TheMetroUnderground.com - our Calendar covers full details on all events, while Clubs & Groups offer a rundown of each host organization in & around the area. Further sections include Regional & National Resources, Local Mainstream Organizations, Music & Fashion, & more! We hope you check it out…

Some Cool Stuff for June...

Wed, 10 Jun 2009 20:42:12 GMT

Looking back, the Metro has had a busy few weeks…

Carrying forward its new club night, Dunkleheit continues to draw a great crowd with a lot of energy & a good time had by all. Phoebe & Panic have done well by pulling together a smaller venue but playing to a more intimate crowd. In that, great music & a good vibe have filled the dance floor since their opening.

The previous week, we have to say that DC TNG hosted yet again one of the scene's best underground parties. A fantastic affair at Judy's saw a great afternoon with grills blazing & blenders blending. The food was fantastic, the hooka lounge was an awesome touch, & those frosty drinks made for a relaxed kick-off to the summer season. Bu things transformed later that evening as the level of play & social frolic continued to show why DC TNG is such a strong player in the adult & alternative scene. We'd like to thank Ariel & his whole team for making such a strong contribution to the DC Underground.

And of course, DXS Rapture continues to pull a great night at their "speakeasy" location. Sure, permits are fully in place & the city has given it a full blessing to operate as a club. But it just has that cool feel where you go to a gate at a secret location & the guy at the door needs a password before you can even gain access. Inside it's just what you'd expect for such an underground venue: one of the scene's best BDSM parties, with DJ Wien providing a DJ line-up worthy of a mainstream club night, a light-fare buffet, open bar, & a level of play that is constrained only by one's imagination. Thanks to Brendan, Madam Ember, & a host of others for pushing forward with such a great venue.

We also have to give one last round of thanks to British Lucky Paul & all those who made the Studio 54 Party so spectacular. The club was great, the people were absolutely beautiful, & the whole night was truly a return to form for an era that has long since past. The 70's were alive again for at least one night in May. Honestly, one of the best scene parties we've been too & we're glad to have been so actively involved in such a fantastic night.

To which, across town Goth Prom was also a raging success! Tony & Dirty-B pulled together a fantastic night & continued one of DC's greatest traditions in high style. Indeed, this was a crucial event - for not only was it a glorious return to form, but it was also our last chance to prove that we can still pull the numbers to fill a venue as prominent as TOWN. Make no mistake, all expectations were exceeded in every regard. Thank you Tony & Brian for your years of continued service to the scene, & congratulations for hosting such a spectacular evening.

As a special note, Goth Prom also saw the launch of a new business! Tony (promoter of Goth Prom & Co-founder of Alchemy) has recently launched a new shirt company doing specialty prints for a wide array of various interests. From mainstream, to corporate, to personal, to those in the scene - they can customize any print to your own desire. As a team of self-employed individuals, we highly support his efforts. Please check it out: http://www.scheduledshirts.com/

And let us not forget the 10 year anniversary party of Deep6 at Exposure with Das Ich & Red This Ever live. What an INCREDIBLE night! We haven't had that much fun since Nation closed - we look forward to future shows.

Other venues continue to impress as well. Word has it that the B.E.S.S. Pajama Party at The Crucible was a good time had by all, & of course Camp Crucible was in full swing, but what can we really add to such a fantastic event that hasn't already been said elsewhere.

Moving on to those venues more in the mainstream, Madam's Organ 80's Night w/ London Shadows has been pulling some great crowds for a mid-week venue, & Midnight has hosted a great line up of live bands throughout the month. Word has it that the Red & Black Ball hosted by Sugar (in Baltimore) was an equally awesome night. But all in all, these are only a few of the venues that have hosted impressive affairs throughout the month. And all this in just one month!

So what's on tap for the rest of June & beyond? Here are just a few highlights…

Fri 12th - Baltimore TNG hosts Kinky Carnival at The Crucible. This is their largest play party planned to date! Event features carnival & side show entertainment, open play ALL night long, cash bar, light fare, & more! Doors open at 9pm. Tickets are $35 at the door or $30 in advance.

Capitol Pride runs all week as the culmination of such events reaches its crescendo on Saturday the 13^th when the Pride Parade dances its way through Logan & Dupont Circles. Later that night, TOWN hosts Ru Paul live, & then on Sunday Pennsylvania Avenue hosts the Annual Gay Pride Street Festival. Not your flavor? Then head up to Hampden & check out Hon Fest in Baltimore. There's just nothing else like it - so kitschy you'll think you're in a stage play of Hairspray!

June 20th: DJs London Shadows & Nightshade bring back the Old Skool days with a special private party for local members of Arcane Delights & the DC Goth Scene.

Later in the month (Friday the 26th), DJ Panic & the folks at Bound host Xuberix live for a Kinky Bikini Party. Then the following night (Saturday the 27^th), Midnight presents international recording artists FGFC820 - "bringing the 'thump' back to EBM!"

Of course, Artomatic runs all month with a host of intriguing events throughout its calendar (check out the special presentation of Artistic Belly Dance on Friday the 19^th, or Nuclearfest on Sunday the 21st), all which will reach its grand height on July 5^th for the Artomatic Closing Party. Something along the lines of 4 bands, 5 DJ's, belly dancers, fire eaters, & more art than you cover in a day is planned - not to mention special career oriented seminars hosted by the beautiful & talented Ebony Tara Scurry of Eidolon Career Solutions! Indeed, this is an occasion NOT to be missed.

But this is only a mere sliver of the many events planned for June & beyond.

Don't miss out! For more information on these & a full listing of what else is going on (not to mention a ton of other cool stuff), check out our main site at www.TheMetroUnderground.com - our calendar lists full details on all events, Club & Group sections carry a rundown of each host organization in & around the area, & further pages include regional & national resources - even mainstream organizations - plus more!

ATOM WEST

Tue, 28 Apr 2009 20:25:47 GMT

Atom West

Westworld’s Atom West arrived on the Austin scene via a delicious studder of vocal samples and glorious drum triplets back in November 2007 from Houston. He really is one of the most outstanding Producers in Texas. The simple fact that he cites Freaky Chakra among his influences is testament to his wicked taste. It’s not often that Freaky’s name gets play among electronica producers, but it should.

When his album dropped in 2001, it was the soundtrack to a dream.

Click here to hear some tracks!

Artist: Atom West
Specific Style of Genre: Garage, Fidgit, Breakbeat, Electro, Bassline

This Friday

Dunkelheit is the newest alternative music dance party in Washington, DC. Dunkelheit means “darkness” in German and it will live up to its name by featuring the best dark electro music from the other side of the Atlantic.

This month in honor of April Fool’s Day, the DJs will be randomly throwing in songs from non-European bands. Don’t let them fool you! If you are the first one to notice a non-Euro song, then you will receive a free CD (DJ’s choice). Number of prizes will be determined by the number of non-Euro songs the DJs choose to play, so expect the unexpected!

The Guest DJ will be Dan Barrett of Worms of the Earth. Dan started DJing trance and psy-trance in '04 at house parties/raves and then got into producing music seriously and distanced himself from the rave scene. Dan is frequently denied DJ spots at goth/industrial events for playing too much new, hard music. He has DJed at Ascension, Bound, and Exposure. Expect to hear dark, upbeat, dance-able tunes that you haven't heard before, but will definitely want to hear again.

M!NDJacket will be the vendor for April. M!ndJacket creates custom screenprinted t-shirts for guys and girls. Expect to see lots of witty and interesting designs. Every shirt is just $15. Check out the current inventory at www.mindjacket.com.

Dunkelheit has two floors of music (dance floor upstairs and lounge downstairs), two bars, private smoking deck, and a kitchen serving up delicious food. Don’t forget to bring cash for the upstairs bar since credit cards are only accepted downstairs

Dunkelheit is located at Asefu, 1920 9th Street NW, Washington, DC 20009 (Between T and U Streets). The club is Metro accessible from the yellow/green lines at U Street Station. Take the Vermont Avenue exit, walk one block on U Street and make a right onto 9th Street. There are also two small pay parking lots on the same block as Asefu as well as street parking.

Dunkelheit is open from 9pm to 2am. 18+ with valid ID. Cover is $5.

New at Dunkelheit: Free Birthdays! Since birthdays are the most important day of the year, Dunkelheit wants to honor free admission to anyone whose birthday falls on a Dunkelheit weekend. For example, anyone born on April 3rd, 4th, or 5th are our special April birthday guests. Please come out and celebrate!

For a moment you might forget you are in Washington, DC and think you are in Europe. Please come check it out and Tanz!

Dunkelheit This Friday April Fools Party!

more on DOOMLAUT
DOOMLAUT is an revolutionary fashion and music cult founded after
members of the Vienna Actionist League of Anti-Fascist Higher
Evolutionaries were deported to arts-and-crafts re-education camps by
the Von Trapp family in Great Night Club Purge of 616 (as related in
the recently unearthed deleted scenes of the anti-burlesque propaganda
film, "The Sound of Music"). Members are known for their identical
clothing and their mass marriage to each other in the largest recorded
act of public bigamy, as well as occasional stretches in prison. They
have infiltrated the highest levels of the government and the lowest
levels of youth culture, promising to unravel capitalist space-time
and construct vast Cabaret Temples on the ashes of collapsed banks.
Federal agents suspect them of having orchestrated the recent Greek
anarchist riots as well as the fabrication of charges of assaulting a
prostitute against government informant Boy George. They should be
considered armed and fashionable and approached with caution and
dancing.

Catch him once again as a guest at bound for another night of medical fetish because it's been too long and we all love to get bloody kinky at BOUND!

Downstairs we will be featuring

DOOMLAUT takeover
featuring more than a dozen of the DC areas best DJs

more on DOOMLAUT
DOOMLAUT is an revolutionary fashion and music cult founded after
members of the Vienna Actionist League of Anti-Fascist Higher
Evolutionaries were deported to arts-and-crafts re-education camps by
the Von Trapp family in Great Night Club Purge of 616 (as related in
the recently unearthed deleted scenes of the anti-burlesque propaganda
film, "The Sound of Music"). Members are known for their identical
clothing and their mass marriage to each other in the largest recorded
act of public bigamy, as well as occasional stretches in prison. They
have infiltrated the highest levels of the government and the lowest
levels of youth culture, promising to unravel capitalist space-time
and construct vast Cabaret Temples on the ashes of collapsed banks.
Federal agents suspect them of having orchestrated the recent Greek
anarchist riots as well as the fabrication of charges of assaulting a
prostitute against government informant Boy George. They should be
considered armed and fashionable and approached with caution and
dancing.

Tarot Readings by Mystic Aradia

from Mystic Aradia..
Some have said that Barack Obama's victory for the US Presidency is a sign of the coming of a great New Age.
Throughout history, great emperors and kings were known to consult with mystics for insight into the future of their endeavors.
As the vibrations of this great Inaugural Event come to pass and the New Moon brings in a new wave of energy,
the time is ripe to consult the tarot cards about your own future.

On Jan 30th, Mystic Aradia visits BOUND for divine consultations!
Aradia, a skilled Tarot reader for more than 13 years, will reveal your cards for just $15.
Appointments from 10pm-1am only.

an unhealthy love for shirts fules this buisness of art that makes you look good! a beautiful balance of crass commercialism and artistic expression, teetering somewhere between universal accessibility and distinctiveness, meant to be worn, used, cleansed.

Inauguration Celebration!

1342 U Street, NW DC!
Friday January 16th to Tuesday January 20th
10pm to 4am

FREE ADMISSION
INAUGURATION CELEBRATION
RIGHT ON HISTORIC U STREET NW DC!

Featuring Special Inauguration Cocktails!
DJs and Dancing throughout the night!
Spinning old school funk, disco, 80’s, RnB, Soul, Rock and Indie!
Just the FUN and Awesome Music that makes you want to Dance the night away on U Street! Featuring DJs Panic, Cosmo, London, MindCage, Hardware and many others from the U street area!

Outside U Street Sidewalk Patio Open for drinking and dancing!

The entire city of Washington, DC is going to be one very big week long party! Think: 4th of July meets Mardi Gras and that is what you’ll have in DC for inauguration week! As you can imagine, given the historic nature of this inauguration, as well as the historical symbolism of U Street itself, the neighborhood is going to be one very crazy party indeed!

Most of the clubs and bars in the city will be charging outrageous cover charges to enter their doors. Not Polly’s Café! Polly’s will be the FREE U Celebration Location! That’s right, a FREE, no cover charge location right on U street for inauguration week!

A corner stone of U street businesses, Polly’s Café was around WELL BEFORE 90 percent of the businesses in the U Street corridor and was a pioneer in what would later become the U street renaissance of the late 1990s and up to what it has become today! When Polly’s opened its doors in the very early 90’s it was a place to meet up with friends for a few cold ones and a burger (turkey burgers there rock!). So, if you are looking for a great place to chill out with friends, dance, and have a great time during the inauguration week, then Polly’s is the place to be!

End the year in style!
