8:17 am - {C14} IRIS, AUDRA, & THE PASSING HOUR ADDED TO THE C14 LINEUP!
|
|

IRIS
A welcome addition to our annual net.goth gathering, Iris is known for their retro-flavored tunes blended with catchy, yet haunting lyrics. From their debut album, Disconnect and its dance-floor favorite "Annie, Would I Lie to You", to their latest release, Wrath, reviewers have lauded their music using words such as "perfect" and "sublime" to describe their synth-tinged melodies.
AUDRA
Audra's music harks back to the early days of gothic rock enhanced with a longing, heartfelt, ethereal sound. Signed to Projekt Records, bandmates and brothers Brett Helm and Bart Helm, along with drummer J. DeWolf, are the embodiment of Audra's sharp, intense stage presence and well-crafted songs that never fail to mesmerize a crowd.
THE PASSING HOUR
The Passing Hour press-kit consisted of a CD and a handwritten sticky note saying that they would love to be a part of Convergence. The music on that CD demonstrated that they had the chops needed to wow the revelers. Their album, "Forever This Day," and the dark music within, gives one a taste of the potential of this up and coming band, who includes alt.gothic's very own Timly Grae as one of their members.. We are happy to welcome Louisville, KY's The Passing Hour to the C14 lineup.
These acts join Voltaire, The Synthetic Dream Foundation and Faded Sympathy on the stage of Convergence 14 in Tampa's Ybor City. Stay tuned, more bands will be announced in the coming weeks!
Tune in to the C14 website to see the latest in upcoming events at Convergence 14.

6:19 am - {C14} Bands & DJs Announced For C14!
|
|
blackironcrown
|
We are proud to announce two bands that will be appearing at Convergence 14 this year. Faded Sympathy will be traveling all the way from Columbus, OH, in order to entertain you with their with their unique brand of gothic rock. Combining post-punk of the early 80s with a 90s shoegazer sensibility, they are a welcome addition to the stage of Convergence 14.
Also joining us will be Tampa's The Synthetic Dream Foundation, whose music ranges the map from EBM Industrial to Dark Ambient/Industrial and back again to experimental endeavours. Samples of this enterprising band may be heard here.
We are also pleased to announce that our Main Event will be graced with the DJing skills of Cleveland's own SpinMistress Batty. Last seen at Convergence 9, we are delighted that she will once again be providing her considerable skills for Convergence 14.
For those who will be present at the Pre-Party, the enjoyment of the ministrations of DJ Sonny Crocket will be yours. Fast cars, fast women, fast internet connections - these are tell-tale signs of a Vice DJ. Detective Sonny Crockett is a nine year veteran of the Macross City Vice unit, protecting citizens from criminally bad tunes with a weekly net radio broadcast originating beneath the palm trees at IPM Radio. Crockett embodies the pastel days and neon nights, but can the shark survive?
This and other news is able to be seen at the C14 website. Check in there to see the latest in upcoming events at Convergence 14. The C14 Committee thanks you for your attention and hopes to see you next year at Convergence 14 in Ybor City, FL!

so that there will new music in rotation everyday including some smaller, but very
interesting regional talent.
We also have new sets from DJ Devious, Maus and DJ Xanthus set to premiere

Oh answers lost in the sweeter tube, of life I call and timeless your.
Becomes and in the night, and here you turn, and in that day, your.
Whispers fade, and there you stood, and image flash, like.
Perfect song, but only once.

10:23 pm - Insect dreaming
|
case777
|
Access smile of personal gravity burning wicker as sunset sky, like red over crashing shore. Fortress Sideways in the dark dusk light, cries of gulls and distant lovers, your walls like the promises of parents 'hush now, the demons are not real'.
I scream your name, trapped in my own circling endless nightmare reality, and remember the night I watched you die. Spiralling like the iron gull you had become, distant lovers on the sill of shade, Sideways' towers crashing as the damned reach out, falling to the beat of a suddenly silenced drum.

10:22 pm - Tolling of the silent bell
|
case777
|
And the bell chimed the darkness in its still and silent way as the end of all things and new beginnings heard moments of forgetfulness strung out on leeches sucking my life away and i find myself under the jackets with nothing to hold except the rope that isnt there.
Turning pages backwards across a book that hears my name and shrieks like the hours of mandrake dawn like hard and yet supple and forgotten movements of selfless forgivness that always begins with the self and yet ends with a person who isnt even there.
Seek the nightmare and it will flee from you. Become the nightmare and it will rock you to sleep.

Hello - I'm new here. My name is Brian. I live in Lexington, KY. As this is the "Bible-belt," there aren't many open-minded people here - just a bunch of people with bleach-blond hair that look like they came from an O.C. convention. Anyway, I know this girl named Sunshine (yes, it is a bit wierd that there is a gothic lady by the name of Sunshine) and even though she has a boyfriend, she's been spending a lot of time with me. We haven't done anything because I've been cheated on before and I wanted to rip said person's spine out and bludgeon them with it, but she stays out with me til like 6 in the mrning (Saturday morning) and she was over here til 4 in the morning so I didn't get much sleep. Anyway, I've written this poem about her and I apologize if it sounds a bit cliché, so try not to be too judgemental. A lot of my other poetry which I find to be some of my best work, you will find at http://www.myspace.com/deathiseventual in a blog entitled 'some of my poetry' (it's the second one down). I was actually listening to Charon and these lines kept coming into my head with J.P.'s vocals. To clear the air, I've written thousands of poems and I NEVER write one inspired by a band or musician. This was just a freak accident. Feel free to criticize. As a great writer once said, you can only become a better writer by reading great writers and continually rereading and editing your work.
A Light in Darkness
On sleepless nights
I rise, go out
into the cold and darkness.
Searching for another soul,
for mine to console
I’ve lost my way, I’m dying.
Her dark red hair
flows endlessly and
it wraps around my heart.
Entangled in her beauty
matched by none other
now I’ve found a reason to live.
Your soul it speaks
my heart it bleeds
Come and comfort me my darling.....
This may feel wrong
but I’ve waited so long....
even though you betray another.
My heart was black
now you’ve taken it back
oh my God how the sun hurts....
...my eyes have seen
the way into your heart
No longer live in fear
no longer shall we be apart...
Coming in for the kill
I live for the thrill
of you being my light in darkness
Her dark red hair
flows everywhere
and I’m blinded by her likeness
Your soul it speaks
my heart it bleeds
Come and comfort me my darling.
Never be afraid
I will take the blame
and our love to the grave.

10:44 pm - Lifeless eyes
|
case777
|
Heya,
Just a copy of an old poem, testing the mood and seeing if this is the sort of stuff you'se are in to before I start churning them out...
'Look on me, dead eyes - staring forever at a bright blue sky. Your face is so beautiful, even though your nose is missing - worried away by wild dogs and monkeys. I hear the maggots who eat your eyes, your pupils moving as if you search out for a suddenly distant god; for a rapture which will never come.
They searched for you for weeks, yet I alone found you and freed you from your meaningless life. Now may your worthless flesh feed the worms and the rats, the spineless and the vermin recognising one of their own. I will sing to you the lamentations of your parents, your filthy white-trash lovers, taking pictures of your slow decay as I keep the hate alive...'
current mood:  sleepy

11:07 am - Farewell
|
suburbanitespy
|
An epiphany of faith in the face of the tormentors
Seperated but bound by vitriol in the light of our valediction
Our fond farewell
"A fond farewell to arms my friend", Spits my broken will as
the ruins of my freedom augment into reason
A tower of strength, a blade of repose into my twisted view of
sentiment and duty
Farewell to Freedom
Farewell to Dignity
Farewell to Living Will
Farewell to Fare Well
...Freedoms are only ever granted to us so that we have something that can be removed from us if we start to forget who we are... In the end, freedom boils down to choice, but do we really have a choice? I mean, the only choices that can really matter are the moral ones, and we all know the difference between right and wrong... So essentially the choices have all been made already... When morality dictates choice and choice dictates freedom, then how can we ever truely be free?
As soon as we realise that conformity and assimilation into a conformist social structure is inevitable our walls come crashing down and we soon become aware that all of our carefully constructed individuality, all of our beliefs and dreams, have been in vain... Everything that we were and everything that we could ever aspire to has been a lie... A lie that we've all been happy to buy into, but thats okay, all it cost us was our dignity!!!

3:55 am - ~*~Wounds Of Expression~*~

~*~Wounds Of Expression~*~
Cutting is my voice
When I am enduring so much underlying pain
To wear it on my body
tells what I cant explain
Just want the pain to stop
This ain't what I want
I cut
Its my way of asking for help
Its my only coping strategy
There aint no other way
Anger turned inward
Difficult relationships
I cant suspend
So upset
Withdraw
Injuring myself
I'm fighting, not wanting to
Angry then most
The anger builds to out of control
The only way to release is to cut
Only adding fuel to the fire
Cant step back
Try to simmer down
Unable to express myself
These feelings inside
Get to boiling point
Controlled expression
Cutting is what has to give
There has to be other ways
Keeping emotions inside
As I don't want anyone to know what I'm feeling
When my feelings are out there
They use and hurt them
Close to me
Invested in love, and he threw it all away
Lost and bottled up inside
Suicide attempts,
Failed
What else is out there that I am hiding
Help relieve these feelings, without injury to myself
It wont be a perfect ride
My imperfections will be opened up
It will hurt
But handling it in different means
Will stop my life
Falling apart from these desperate seams
current mood:  creative
current music: The End - Roadrunner United
