MELB BLITZ
"Look past the slow black rain of a chill night in Soho;
Ignore the lures of a thousand neon fire-flies, fall deft to the sighs of street corner sirens
— come walk with me between heaven and hell.
Here there is a club lost in its own feverish limbo,
where sin becomes salvation and only the dark angels tread.
For here is a BATCAVE.
This screaming legend of blasphemy, Lechery, and Blood persists in the face of adversity.
For some the Batcave has become an icon, but for those that know it is an iconoclast,
it is the avenging spirit of nightlife's badlands
— its shadow looms large over London's demi-Monde: It is a challenge to the false Idol.
It Will Endure."

We are excited to celebrate our first birthday with you all!
MELB BLITZ DJs proudly honour the iconic Batcave in London's Soho (1982-1986), credited with kickstarting the goth movement.
The Batcave was established by Olli Wisdom and Jon Klein, both members of their house band, Specimen.
Hugh Jones also assisted and Hamish MacDonald (Sex Beat) was resident DJ.
Music included new wave and glam rock: Siouxsie and The Banshees, Marc Almond, Bauhaus, Foetus The Cure, Nick Cave, Alien Sex Fiend, Sex Gang Children were regulars. It hosted live music, dark cabaret and showed arthouse films.
Join us in honouring this iconic club and all things gothic this long weekend!
Let's have a real ghoul time!
