Mis-Fest, another reminder

As is my want, I will likely be posting a regular reminder about upcoming Blackpool Goth/Horrorpunk festival Mis-Fest, organised by the lovely folks behind Misery of Sound. Over a weekend in June, the Friday night (20th June 2008) will be a club night – all DJ all night – and the Saturday (21st June 2008) will see 8 bands starting at 4PM and going late into the night.

The line-up is looking mighty fine:

Danse of the Dead – a local folk/Goth band, really worth a watch
The Cemetary Girlz - Over from France, one of the bands I don’t know
UFX – sleaze rock, I can’t say too much as the lead singer is an old friend, but they are good
The Eternal Fall – a Spanish Trad Goth band, I saw them last year and they are fantastic
Pink Hearse – a local all girl horrorpunk band who do a cracking version of Creature of the Night
Eyaculacion Post Mortem – Over from Spain, the other band I have not seen before
Screaming Banshee Aircrew – a fantastic Goth act with a touch of Vaudeville and a sense of humour
Zombina and the Skeletones – I love this lot and have embedded their End of the World video below. As the lyrics say:

"Hey, if you've got atomic blood
And Nothing to waste it on
I'm a sexual vampire
I'll eat your love tonight."

Pre-ordered tickets are £15, an absolute bargain. Plus I’ll be there, so if you spot me say hello.
