To all interested DJs,

In order to make sure that we have the biggest turn-out possible, we are moving Open Deck Night to 1/8/10. Everything else still stands, and we'll dish out more information next week. We apologize for the switcheroo, and we have edited our previous blog to reflect this new date.

Dark Regards,
V&B

sKizoFrenia had a write-up on Wednesday on our War For the Floor DJ Battle in the online version of the Las Vegas Weekly! (Yeah, we missed it, too!)  The lovely Xania Woodman sent me the link today.

Floor lords: May the best alterna-DJ win!

SKIZOFRENIA AT KRAVE LOUNGE
October 2, 11 p.m.
Visit darklv.com for more info.

“The objective is to showcase the wide range of talented DJs in the goth/industrial/alternative genre,” says sKizoFrenia’s Bettie Nacht. Krave Lounge’s weekly night of dark, alternative tunes is popular among Vegas’ goth set, and this Friday the party is going the competitive route.

The “War for the Floor” DJ battle will pit eight of Vegas’ best in the genre against one another for bragging rights: resident DJ RustRyu vs. Disdain; new resident Epic MegafaiL vs. Bear; Sektion vs. Desolous; and Dr. White vs. Ana Torpedoes.

“It's all very friendly,” Nacht continues. “This is a small and generally close-knit community. Judging will be done by watching the dance floor and seeing who gets more people and more energy from the crowd, which is why we called it War for the Floor.”

And here we thought it was because someone was going to win new flooring. But that wouldn't have been very dark and/or alternative, now would it?

Thank you very much to everyone who showed up early to participate in our silly-but-fun Cocktail Battle and test out our exclusive new concoction, the sKizo Nightmare! We're proud to announce that the Nightmare did beat out the Zombie by several votes. But, because it was so close and there are so many of you who really love their rum :), we're going to offer both every week for $3 (each! :).  Vodka vs. Rum , Purple vs. Pink, Stumble Home vs. Crawl Home, we're all about choices.

Thank you!

Dark Regards,
The sKizo Staph
