“‘Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream,’ she said.
‘The one that makes me laugh,’ she said,
And threw her arms around my neck…”
~The Cure

FRIDAY NIGHT, IN THE “DARKLING” AREA! When we say all are welcome, as always, we mean it – young and old, Goth or otherwise, come out, come out! But be aware that many of us will be dressing in our finest Goth colors of black, slightly darker black, slightly lighter black, and also, black. And we’ll dance the night away!

Entertainment: We’re picking a DJ. Or, really, our DJ will pick us and let us know.

Libations: Indulge in a selection of goth cocktails at our bar, each crafted to match the dark aesthetic of our gathering. From classics like the..the.. are there classic Goth cocktails? For real? What are they? … to our own concoctions inspired by the night, there’s something to suit every dark palate.

Atmosphere: Revel in the terrible lighting we all cherish, casting long shadows and creating an intimate, mysterious ambiance perfect for dancing or just being in dark and slightly uncomfortable spaces together. Our playlist will feature the timeless tracks that define our culture, ensuring your feet can’t help but move to the gothic rhythm, unless that’s not how you Goh, in which case, all good.

Quiet Retreats: For those who prefer the whisper of solitude, we’ve arranged several quiet areas nearby. Here, you can escape the crowd, reflect, or share hushed conversations amidst the quietude.

Smoking: And yes, for those who still hold a candle for the old ways, you can enjoy the rare pleasure of smoking clove cigarettes, should they still exist in this modern world.

Join us for a night where elegance meets darkness, where every attendee is part of the Darkling Element, and where we prove that the spirit of goth thrives not on extravagance, but on the shared passion for the night. Let’s make this an unforgettable evening, proving that our community’s heart beats strongest in the shadows.

In the kaleidoscopic world of music where legends are born from the raw energy of the streets, Dmitry Wild emerges as an electrifying anomaly, a true virtuoso of the rock genre whose guitar strings weave tales of rebellion, love, and the relentless quest for the American Dream. Born from the fusion of diverse cultural backgrounds, Dmitry’s music is a vibrant tapestry, interwoven with the threads of his Russian heritage and the gritty charm of New York City.

Dmitry Wild is not just a musician; he is a phenomenon. His journey from the classical guitar, which he initially loathed due to a professor with overly long nails, to becoming an icon of garage rock, is nothing short of a cinematic odyssey. His early days of protest songs in Moscow, followed by his soulful immersion into the Californian surf rock scene, have all sculpted him into the multifaceted artist he is today.

The Man Behind the Music:

• Musical Alchemy: Dmitry Wild is the master alchemist of sound, blending the vintage rock of the ’70s with the raw, unhinged energy of punk, all while nodding to the psychedelic vibes of the garage. His music is a cocktail of influences – think The Doors meeting The Black Keys, all while sipping on The Cramps’ raw energy, with a dash of gypsy soul.
• A Survivor’s Tale: His life reads like a rock ‘n’ roll epic. Surviving 9/11 due to a serendipitous late band practice, Dmitry’s life has been a series of near-misses and serendipitous encounters, each adding a layer to his music’s depth. His move to Hudson, NY, during the global pandemic wasn’t just a change of scenery but a rebirth, leading to his solo trajectory where he solidified his role as the sole writer, composer, guitarist, and performer.
• The Spells of Wild: Under the moniker “Dmitry Wild and The Spells,” his live performances are not mere concerts but theatrical, mystical experiences. Each show is an invitation to dive into the heart of rock where every note played is a spell cast by Dmitry, enchanting audiences with his swagger, individuality, and an unapologetic love for the craft.
• A Legacy of Lyrics and Literature: Music is but one facet of Dmitry’s creativity. His book, Why Be Normal?, recounts a raucous road trip, symbolizing his own search for identity and meaning in music. His poetry and songwriting delve deep into human experience, often reflecting on social issues, personal revolutions, and the eternal dance between chaos and order.
• Discography of Dreams: From the raw power of “Rock-n-Roll is My Business” to the introspective “Pandemic Summer,” his albums like Electric Souls are not just collections of songs but chapters of his life, each track a testament to his relentless exploration of music’s boundaries.

Dmitry Wild’s music isn’t just heard; it’s experienced. It’s a journey through the soul of rock, a loud, proud declaration of individuality, and an endless exploration of what it means to be human. Welcome to the wild world of Dmitry Wild, where every chord struck is a step into the unknown, and every lyric sung is a piece of his soul laid bare for all to see.

“For wrestling is truly the first lesson in courage and temperance, because one never plots against opponents but, contending with his whole body, it is safe to do harm, but not at all safe for a man to be harmed.”
–Plato

Sing, O Muse, of Mal Havoc, the mighty thespian of the squared circle, a bard of the ring and the strings, whose name echoes through the halls of fame like the clash of titans. Born of earth and sky, his lineage traced back to the fierce warriors of old, Mal Havoc is not merely a man but a force, a tempest of talent that swept across the lands of wrestling and music alike.

In the time when heroes roamed and gods whispered in the ears of men, Mal Havoc emerged from the shadows of obscurity, his presence heralded by the roar of crowds and the strumming of his lyre. His journey began in the sacred groves of the wrestling academies, where he learned the ancient arts of combat from masters who had themselves been anointed by the gods of the mat.

His first conquests were in the arenas of the lesser known, where he battled with the ferocity of Ares, his body a canvas painted with the sweat and blood of his adversaries. Each match was an odyssey, a tale of struggle and triumph, where Mal Havoc, with his brutal elegance, would dance the dance of war, his every move a line of poetry in motion.

But Mal Havoc was not content with the laurels of mere wrestling. Like Apollo, he was drawn to the muse of music, his voice becoming a spear that pierced the hearts of listeners, his lyrics the saga of his life’s battles. With each chord, he wove tales of his victories, his defeats, and the eternal quest for glory. His music, a blend of the ancient and the modern, resonated in the taverns and halls, where warriors and poets alike would gather to listen, to feel the pulse of his adventures through his songs.

In the great coliseums where heroes are forged, Mal Havoc’s name was chanted like a sacred hymn. He battled giants and gods of the ring, each encounter adding to his legend. His signature move, the “Havoc Hammer,” was spoken of in whispers, a move so devastating, so poetic in its execution, that it was said to be inspired by Zeus’s own thunderbolt.

Yet, like all great epics, Mal Havoc’s journey was not without its trials. He faced the Hydra of injuries, the labyrinth of personal demons, and the siren call of fame’s fleeting embrace. But with the wisdom of Odysseus, he navigated these perils, his resilience and creativity his most valiant armor.

His life was a tapestry of victories in the ring, where he claimed titles with the might of Hercules, and triumphs on stage, where his songs were sung by bards across the land. He was both a gladiator and a minstrel, a unique figure whose legacy would be sung for generations to come, his story a beacon for those who dare to dream of merging the worlds of might and melody.

Thus, Mal Havoc became not just a name but a mythos, a saga of strength, art, and the eternal human spirit’s quest for greatness. His tale, like the Iliad or the Odyssey, would be recounted in times of peace, in times of war, a testament to the enduring allure of those who live fiercely, love deeply, and leave behind a legacy as vast as the ocean, as enduring as the stars.
