Of chance and Breath

When from the wilds come
woken by the shivering still
leaning to tip and expectant to fall
a moment fair for being at all

Dread the dizzy and impartiality
the silent reckoning gifted by the malign and embittered
Dearest These woods constrict to make of you a morsel
This ground to cold to seek subject or rest

The bones of the world reject you from and repulse
We can see our most esteemed wither in a most supernatural grace
this our convergence our shared divinity
devoid of age or wisdom

Oh dear heart won, What persists is corrupted
stated clearly from a throne of intent
What dies remains purest still
Our schemes comes to rest on a blotter of fallibility

The Privilege of knowing what should have been
a potion so dearly vanquished
a dread taken solely truly hearts blood
Not to perish in drip but rather bucket full

We will blacken the whitest lie a frozen pardon
To stutter and demolish all post tense
To clean what covers does not determine it whole or morale
It mounts it and the result is sterile and foreign

It is a Wicked branch snapped clean from a monstrous thing
misshapen offspring so knotted and unkind
without host or family begotten into unfamiliarity
An encounter resounding in the unnatural sciences

Orphan pray outcast
A sacrifice of massacres and atonement
We tread deepest in that which does not ground us
Fairest of all, you must not weep for devils, when Angels are needed most

As no one prays for oneself all self is not needed
We find not the desperate but the lesser of beasts
A dream or a break in thought we can stare off and be of nothing
Or we can

It is to ourselves we find
It is not in the wilds or the thick of the desperate and the idle
heart won and carefree in bondage and freedom never equal in service
A lastly time and a battle enjoined egress

Where Can I find Templar?


Take a break from the weary gray world, and join us as we dive into life fantastic.  If only for a short while. Indulge yourself in sounds long kept under heel and hidden away, safe from public mastication


Here is a brief breakdown of each night. Try to collect them all!


The First New Necromantic in a couple of Months. This means its going to be one hell of a Night. Think of this as a divine taster for other events around the city, as Francine our hostess has gathered to her side a menagerie of the busiest DJs and promoters in our scene. Necromantic has long been a mainstay and a much beloved fixture of the NYC Goth Scene

I will be in amazing company this night with fellow Necros
Father Jeff (Ward 6, Qxts) Patrick (Salvation) Aengel (Ravenholm, Qxts)



A New Night! Yes another one! There does seem to be alot of new nights coming around. Everyone wants to be a Dj. That's good and I applaud the drive. But here is where it gets a little blurry.
The Redrum Ball consists of people who have been throwing parties for years. So this isn't something thrown together half ass.

A Great venue - check
A Great stable of Djs - check
Me as a guest - check ;)
Come out and support!


Underworld, so much to answer for! I can be held somewhat responsible for this obamanation.  3 Years of absolute abandon and good times. On a Wednesday no less (balls). Its home at the best club the scene has - The Sullivan Room! I can say so many wonderful things about the night, but bias and humility prevent me for going any further. (It Rocks)

The Only club in NYC that plays nothing but Goth music.
No Ebm, No Synthpop, No Dance pop

It's A very special Night for The Red Party. It has a New and bigger home!
Ace of Clubs!
Its where I can go and spin music alot of which have been forgotten under the heels of Vnv Nation and Wumpscut. So if you are fans of bands like Birthday Party, Alien Sex Fiends, Xymox and the Neph. Check this out. Special guest this week is DJ Jeffo plus!


The Red Party presents
'The Wild World of Siouxsie and the Banshees'
A Night of music from Siouxsie and The Banshees plus all the bands that they were connected to.
Bands like The Cure, The Creatures, The Glove, Adam and The Ants etc.
Plus the usual mix of Goth and Deathrock new and older!

Special Guest: Miz Margo!


I will have more dates added soon!

January Red Party Setlist

On A Cold Bleak NYC Night. From Across the white streaked street the vague sounds of mad genius and proto-psychopathic intentions strike the heart colder than the best of Winter's thrall. The Red Party Welcomes all with a heart for the better and a mind that knows it.

With A Gremlin infested CD Player (One FULL hour of JOY) and a missing Jarek, We pushed through and I locked myself in the booth. Fueled on Anger and Contempt I present this its offspring.

Friday Feb 18 We are at our NEW HOME!

Third Friday we will be at The Ace of Clubs. Please Keep in mind we are still an all GOTH club. I would rather drown this thrashing baby than change that . Red Party was born for one purpose only, to prove a simple point. Goth belongs in NYC Uber Alles!

Red Party News!

The Red Party Expands its dark clutches! As of February 18th we will be at Ace of Clubs!

After much debate and care, We have come to a definite conclusion. The Red Party needs to grow to accommodate more people and to challenge us as DJs and promoters.

We will be adding bands to the roster as well..of the darker variety. We would love your help in spreading the word and helping us make this party even bigger than it is.


A Big Hug for all the support

The Red Party: Prophetic mutations through temporal unrest


Happy New Year from the Red gang. I Just wanted to take a breath and sum up all that was and look into the very near future of what will be in regards to our lil club here in NYC. 
Since the beginning I wanted to start a party devoted only to Goth music, I thought it was time that NYC had what other big cities had and that was a night devoted strictly to the sounds of Goth & Deathrock.

We have been blessed with the undying support of the NYC dark scene from day 1. We do not take it for granted, but rather use it as a springboard to do bigger and better things. 
From the first few years at our most beloved Orchard to the very accommodating  Aces & Eights onto Mug Lounge. We have always been amazed at the number of people who come out to play with us. We have always tried to create a place free of ego and drama. Just Drink Dance and Support a small but growing scene in our city. 
  
January brings a new time and it will be our last party at Mug Lounge, so please come support us as we shed our skin one more time and try on something a little bit bigger.  In February we have a full on club to fuck around with. But do not fear it is still The Red Party and with that comes no compromise in the music.  I am very proud of this party and wouldn't want to screw around with a good thing!
We Do Only Goth.  Again A Big Thanks to all who come out and lend us their energy and spirit 2011 is gonna be fun. So tease your hair and dress in your best black and reds Doom Kittens!
Viva Le Red!
