16th January 2008 is Nine Inch Nails Theme Night!

Hello!

On the 16th, next week we present a NIN-themed night.  This means that we play (even) more Nine Inch Nails than usual, some of the big hits, plus some rarities.  But there is more to it than that -

It will be a celebration of all things Reznor, not only featuring Nine Inch Nails, but paying respect to his work as a compiler of soundtracks and producer, as well as music that has been influenced by Nine Inche Nails.  So, the scope covers not only Nine Inch Nails, but artists such as Marilyn Manson, Leonard Cohen, Stabbing Westward, David Bowie, and too many to mention!  In addition, it will include some of the notable influences on Nine Inch Nails, such as Gary Numan, Soft Cell, Joy Division, Foetus and many more.  

This one has a theme but for once but is not necessarily fancy dress, although we will be impressed at anyone coming in fancy dress as Trent Reznor :-)

And there will be sweets.

The night will also, as usual include the best in Goth and EBM music!

Also, CofM people, don't forget that this Friday, in the Bang Bar in Basingtoke (esteemed venue of Dark Trix and Dr. Fell's) is The Rack, Basingstoke's new Goth Industrial night, starring the Church of Madness' own Simon Penguin and native of Basingstoke Dr Dave!

New Excitingness!

So, how can Berkshire's best weekly Goth Industrial Night follow a Hallowe'en special?

Not easy.

So, we're going to follow the extravaganza of Hallowe'en with newness.

Wednesday 7th November will not only feature some never-before heard at Church of Madness tunes, from myself and SImon Penguin, but also the debut of a guest DJ who is new to the night!

Don't forget to send in your photos! The best will be put on myspace and livejournal! (If they're allowed!)  So far the front-runner is a mysterious one of a robed DJ.

Send us your photos! Contest!

Thanks to everyone who came out wednesday night and made it so much fun.

No set lists this week as your ever-diligent DJ's were busy pushing tasty treats (like eyeballs) and CD's on people!  (Many thanks again to Line-Out records who supplied the CD prizes!)

Now, the congregation of the Church of Madness are some of the most beautiful - and, in Hallowe'en fancy dress, some of the most terrifying people!  The Hallowe'en party succeeded and the demons were driven away for another year!  Some highlights were the No-face demon from Spirited Away, a Dragon Warrior and a Ninja, who was outnumbered by pirates!

So - we are having a contest for best Church of Madness photos - e.g. photos taken at Church of Madness recently!

Please send any photos to: ChurchofMadness@googlemail.com, where they will be scrutinised by our panel of elite judges.

Make Mine Madness!
