DEATH GUILD
at the Trocadero
Clientele: An 18 and over crowd of sexually vague, groovy ghoulies. Straight?
The Trocadero has a spacious dancefloor and a high ceiling, which is a perfect setting for crowds of people in Victorian funeral wear to dip, swoop and spin in clouds of dry ice. The people here are mainly young and straight, but could any man spend this much time on his hair and outfit and not be at least curious? The most colorful people in the crowd feature black eclectic hairstyles and whiteface, but there are plenty of regular folks just out having a good time. In a scene like this, music is always a crucial element, and Lucretia and the Melting Girl always deliver. Gothic, Industrial Dance, New Wave and old and new pop are blended into a perfect pace to keep the crowd dancing. The music mix changes each week to keep you coming back for more.
