SKULLZIE SEZ:

Out of all of the Events listed and reviewed here at New Goth City, this event has to be the single most unconventional event of unconventional events!!! Part Jazz-hall, part Cabaret, this time-warp of an event will transport you to simpler time gone by. But the main attraction here is the fashionable garb worn by it's patrons! This is definitely not the Cyber/Industrial scene! Mostly everyone is clad in mix of corsets, Victorian clothes, Flapper dresses, tuxedos, sharp suits, and other unique stylings that suggest an American fashion study of the mid 1800's to through the mid 1900's. It's actually quite intriguing and refreshing to know that there are certainly a few young (under 50 years, anyway) people that take a pleasure to hearken back to an era that seems so dusty to most. And more importantly, everyone here seem as they are old friends milling about like ghosts reuniting for a fateful New Year's Bash of 1925 -- not unlike that creepy scene in the hotel ballroom of The Shining. Only the occasional illuminated liquid crystal screens of various cell phones and/or digital cameras periodically pierce the illusion of time travel. 
Now, as for the music, there is nary an electronic beat to be heard! This is strictly ol' time Jazz and Ragtime like your Great-Granny used to jive to (You've been warned!). And while in other events you might be grooving to the tunes spun by Dj's such as Jet, Aengel, Patrick, Cyn & such (although I did hear DJ Patrick spun here once or twice), at Dances of Vice you'll be "rocking" to the Cole Porter, Bix Beiderbecke, Red Allen, Jimmie Noone, Lang and Venuti, The Dorsey Brothers, Cliff Edwards, Connie Boswell, Marion Harris, and many others that you are likely to hear on WFUV 90.7FM on Sunday nights.
"So, why is this event even listed on New Goth City?" you should be asking yourself right about now...well...there is indeed a certain dark element to all of this (and not just because that lights are kept low in the venue)...a tinge of romance and mystery fills the air at The Pussycat Lounge's second floor...not unlike a wayward carnival that is so glossy and sweet, it has that sort of evil feel to it! If this type of sortie is up your ally, don't miss it...you will not be disappointed! 23 SkeeDoo!!!
