SKULLZIE SEZ: Cleverly disguised as and Irish pub suffering from a light bulb shortage, this Event is actually a time machine! I’m not kidding. As soon as you walk through the doors of the Venue, you will be effortlessly transported to the dawn of Goth-dom...also known as the 1980’s. You don’t believe me? Then I have four words for you: Fog Machine and Lasers!!!
 
The Berlin Event is notably a "comeback kid" after several years of absence form the goth scene...a resurrection, if you will. Berlin had a great following "back in the days," and it should unquestionably find the same at present day...especially for it’s pure Goth style, only matched by Necromantic.
 
"But it’s all the way out in Queens. Eww!" you are probably saying to yourself right about now. Well, yes, the event is located in the borough of Queens, but it is probably closer to you than some of the Manhattan based Events! Situated only a stone’s throw away from midtown’s Queensborough Bridge, the Venue (called Breffini’s now, but will change to Rogue in the near future) is very easy to get to. Take the number 7 train (you know...the purple line!) to the quickly attained 40th Street stop, exit on the North side of Queens Blvd. and you are there! How easy was that? Plus, as a bonus, there are plenty of cabs all too eager to drive into the city to be found on Queens Blvd. if you are concerned about that issue.
 
But enough about that...let’s talk music! The organizer of this Event, Victor (who also organizes Dead Heaven and the BdsM Lounge), will usually start the night off by cuing his songs before handing the booth over to his impressive roster of guest DJs, which include to date: DJ Templar, DJ Jet, DJ Resorector, and DJ Belladonna...just to name a few. Berlin’s "official" music stamp is: Gothic Synthpop Industrial Alternative, but that description leaves quite a large paint-stroke. A better way to describe the music that flows darkly throughout the space is to imagine back in the late 70’s and early 80’s (yes, ancient history for most...but some of us oldsters where alive back then!) when Goth was budding and the music that stemmed from it was almost experimental as it morphed from Punk, New Wave, with a strange connection to Glam...and of course...originating in England. This made for some very interesting music! And this is precisely what you have here at Berlin...some pretty damn interesting music!!! Plus, they also throw in some industrial here and there to keep you moving. Did I mention the Lasers? If you are a true fanatic of Goth music, you simply cannot miss one night of this weekly Event! I guarantee you will be saying things like, "Wow! I haven’t heard this songs in years!" and "Holy shit! I loved this song!" at least 10 times during the night. And do you know why you will be saying those things? Huh...do ya’? That’s right...because you've stepped into a time machine! Enjoy your trip back!!!
