Fancy boozing, growly metal, cock-rock DJing and feral photos!
Well that was a full and varied weekend!
Friday, Kate and I went to the Cocktail and hors d'oeuvre matching thing at Vue De Monde, followed by a drink at the Blue Diamond Bar which has a pretty awesome wrap around city skyline view. We rounded off the night by going to see Voltera at Pony. A fun night indeed.
Saturday I spend most of the day dropping flyers off to every relevant gothy type shop I could think of (with a little help from the Google map I made). I had planned to organize my music in preparation for DJing on the "metal" floor at DV8, but the evening managed to get away from me, so I just grabbed my Slashdance case and a handfull of other relevant CDs from the many piles around the apartment. In the end I had barely enough relevant tunes to fill the full 1.5 hours, and started getting a bit nervous when the next DJ still hadn't showed at 1:35 :P
I got a lot of requests for bands like Opeth, Devildriver, Lamb of God etc. which I just couldn't help with unfortunately, but the crowd on that floor is very enthusiastic and seemed more than happy with a bunch of Industrial Rock, splashed with some Nu-Metal and Cock Rock :D
Anyhoo, here's my
Dio - Holy Diver
Danzig - Mother
Guns n Roses - Night Train
Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast (R)
Murder Dolls - Slit My Wrists
Ministry - N.W.O. (Update mix)
Rob Zombie - Scum of the Earth
Rammstein - Amerika
Marilyn Manson - Beautiful People (R)
Nine Inch Nails - Closer
Tool - 46 & 2
Slipknot - Wait and Bleed
System of a Down - Boom! (R)
Rage Against The Machine - Bulls on Parade
Nightwish - Planet Hell
Rammstein - Du Hast (R)
Sepultura - Chaos BC
Korn - Freak on a Leash
Disturbed - Prayer
Deathstars - Blitzkrieg
Warrant - Cherry Pie
Mötley Crüe - ?
Lacuna Coil - Enjoy the Silence (R)
Sunday was Kate's "Victorian Feral" themed photoshoot for school. It was a lot of fun and everyone who turned out were quality types to hang with. Kate's cousins' place in the bush was especially awesome as was their generous hospitality on the day. Extra special mention goes to James for driving down by himself, even though all of his housemates were filthy pikers!* :P
*Some had better excuses than others
