Hard to believe we're less than a week away! Are YOU ready?!
Contempt, NYC's premiere DIY, all-volunteer-run goth/industrial/alternative event, has been entertaining the dark masses for TEN YEARS. It's high time we marked this auspicious occasion with our biggest, baddest birthday celebration EVER.

CONTEMPT'S TENTH ANNIVERSARY
at our fabulous
BLACK AND WHITE BALL

Our anniversary parties have evolved into the can't-miss event of the year, and we're pulling out all the stops for the Big 1-0. After all, club events don't turn 10 every day in New York City!
FEAST FOR THE EARS:
Ten-year resident DJ SUBVERT is joined by DJS CYPHER and HI-FI HILLARY to provide the soundtrack to our revelry on our GIANT dancefloor with their mix of ALTERNATIVE, INDUSTRIAL, EBM, GOTH, SYNTHPOP, and whatever else suits the mood.
FEAST FOR THE EYES:
The BLACK AND WHITE BALL will feature our first-ever curated ART SHOW featuring the work of Carrie Ann Baade, Sweets Becker, Chris Conte, Lark Davis, Danielle Ezzo, Louis Guidone, Natalie Kocsis, John Kolbek, Paul Komoda, Samantha Levin, Laura (Mistress) McCutchan, Talissa Mehringer, Alain Leriche, Dan Ouellette, and William Welles.
A special ARTISTS' RECEPTION begins at 9:30--come early and meet the artists!
VJ DASKREESTOF will dazzle you on the big screens. And of course, the Contempt GO GOs will be beaming their 10th Anniversary pride from the stage.
FEAST FOR THE LIPS:
M1-5 now offers a FOOD MENU! The kitchen is open 'til midnight, and it's goooood.
