Hipster Club Busted! |
The NYPD has shut down two of the
most popular hipster nightclubs in
N.Y.C., notably Pacha
and Marquee,
in an undercover drug sting that
started last January of this
year. Vice investigators posed as
party-goers looking to buy a wide
assortment of drugs such as Ecstasy,
Special K, and Marijuana.
The closing of Marquee also made for
some last minute "angry" venue
changes since it was set to be the
official After-Party space for the
Gay Pride Parade held this past
Sunday. New Goth City is
proud to announce that this sort of
thing doesn't happen in the Goth
scene! |

Spy vs. Sci |
|
The anti-Scientologist group known
as Anonymous is set for another
global protest in front of
Scientology centers in major cities
across the world on Saturday July
12th. The protest's theme of Spy vs.
Sci calls into question this
"religion's" intelligence agency,
called the Office of Special
Affairs (OSA), and their
alleged abuses. Protesters are urged
to dress as a popular spy character
such as James Bond, Austin Powers, a
Femme Fatale, etc., but
not as
Tom Cruise's character in Mission:
Impossible! |

The Dead Shall Be Ignored! |
| What do you
get when you cross a dying woman, a
neglectful and moronic hospital
staff, and a video surveillance
camera? The perfect Gothic Gazette
story (with video), that's what!!! Here's
what happened: As the surveillance
camera at King's County Hospital, in
Brooklyn, continued to record the
goings-on at the hospital's small
psych ward waiting room in the dawn
hours of the morning, mental patient
Ms. Esmin Green, 49, is seen to be
sitting quietly off to the side. At
5:32am she suddenly keels over out
of her chair and flops facedown
to the floor. Two other patients in
the room see this but say nothing
(Hello...mental ward!). At
5:53am a security guard takes a long
look at her from a distance and
leaves. At about 6am Ms. Green is
thrashing about, but by 6:08am she
is not moving, and by 6:20am (almost
a full hour later) she is pronounced
dead as a medical team finally tends
to her. The cause of death is still
unknown. We'll let the video speak
for itself...take
a look! |

| Supermodel Suicide |
|
On the
afternoon of Saturday June 21st, at
approximately 2:30pm, 20 year old
super-model
Ruslana
Korshunova,
from Kazakhstan, fell to her death
as she plunged 9 stories from her
Financial District apartment on
Water Street in an apparent suicide.
While this young model's final
decision to end her life is indeed
tragic, especially to her friends
and family, at
New Goth City
we feel it important to point out
that countless of "not so young and
beautiful" people commit suicide
everyday without ever getting the
honor of a front page article in
major newspapers! |

Central Park Gets Scary! |
|
Atari & Eden
Games are set to release its
upcoming horror video game entitled
"Alone in the Dark,"
available for XBOX 360,
Playstation2, and PC. The
Mature-rated game features a detail
rich replica of N.Y.C.'s Central
Park as its virtual environment,
filled with zombies, demonic bats,
and other spooky delights. Game
developers used GPS technology along
with photorealistic rendering
methods to digitally recreate
Central Park's landscape down to a
20 inch precision! New Goth City
declares this the must-have video
game of the year. For more
information on Alone in the Dark,

Teen Loses Head Over Batman Ride |
| A 17 year old
teenager, ignoring "Do Not Enter"
and "Danger Zone" signs, climbed a
six foot fence into a restricted
area under the Batman rollercoaster
ride at Six Flags theme park in
Austell, GA. As the coaster cars
soared over him at 50 m.p.h., the
teenager was swiftly decapitated.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
newspaper reported that the boy was
visiting the theme park with a
church group from South Carolina.
The lesson here: Church goers need to
read the warning signs! |

ATTENTION!!!
Thursday, June 12 will mark
Deconstructed's Finale!!!
Starting the night at 8pm
with a special Dawn of Ashes concert, the midnight
after-party will be witness to the last of
the Deconstructed parties.
Sources say that the
decision to terminate the event was a hard
one to make, but personal obligations, as
well as the rising costs to promote the
event were strong factors that pressed such
a drastic measure.
The N.Y.C. Goth scene
loses another great club night...
you shall be missed! |

BREAKING NEWS!
On Friday, May 16th, 2008
Contempt moves to a
BRAND NEW HOME!
This is what the
organizers of Contempt have to say about it:
M1-5 was a great venue, right? So why leave?!
Well, in our last years at Remote, the Goth
lounge on the upper level took on a wonderful
life of its own. We've sincerely missed being
able to offer more than one sound environment
since our move to M1-5. So while we enjoyed our
stay there, we knew from the beginning that it
was not ultimately what we were looking
for in a long-term home.
We're thrilled to announce that we've finally
found a venue that fits the bill…and you're
gonna love it!
Our inaugural event in the new space will be:
Friday, May 16th @
BLVD
199 Bowery (at Spring St.
, just north of Delancey)
...and every THIRD FRIDAY OF THE MONTH
thereafter...
BLVD is a beautiful, versatile space that will
feature the usual pulsing main dance floor
with DJ SubVert at the helm as well as the
RETURN OF OUR GOTH LOUNGE featuring the
dark stylings of
DJ Frankie
Teardrop.
And the icing on
the cake? The goth lounge will have a dance
floor, too! So all of you who loved the
upstairs room at Remote but wished you had room
to dance...your prayers have been answered!
There's so much more to say about this awesome
new place, but there's plenty of time for
details. For now, all you need to know is...
CONTEMPT IS BACK...AND WE'RE BIGGER AND
BETTER THAN EVER!!!!

Starting Saturday February 9th,
Salvation will be moved from
Rififi's to Don Hill's, located
at
511 Greenwich
Street in Manhattan. The move was
prompted by unforeseeable
actions regarding Rififi's
liquor license (remember The
Orchard issue?). Also regarding
this change in venue will be be
the admission price...no longer
will Salvation be a free event,
however the price is kept
relatively low at $5.00 at the
door or $3.00 with a Salvation
flyer or if you show your R.I.P.
Pin. For more details about this
event and directions to its new
venue,

January is the Official "BRING A NON-GOTH OUT
WITH YOU" Month! That means if you have a
friend, co-worker, or family member (or even
someone you despise!) that has always been
intrigued by your style and what you do for fun
at night, dress him and/or her in some simple
black clothes and have them tote along with you
on your next night out! A few suggestions to
help them ease into the scene would be to take
them to
Necromantic,
Salvation,
Contempt,
Wierd,
or any other event of the like that are not so "out
there!"
You never know...you might make a new Goth out
of 'em!!!

confirmation from the organizers
of the much beloved
Contempt Event that there
long-time haunt, Remote
is officially closed. So for
now, until they find a more
appropriate space, the monthly
event will be held on Fridays at
the huge space of M-15! Below
you will find their official
wording about their upcoming
event:
Remember how we told you to keep
your eyes peeled cuz
good news might come sooner than
you think?
Good thing you did, cuz it's
good news we've got.
CONTEMPT LIVES!
Join us on FRIDAY, 23
November
(yep, that's BLACK FRIDAY, the
day after Turkey Day)
at a gorgeous NEW venue…
M1-5
52 Walker Street
NYC
At M1-5, Contempt will be even
BIGGER and BETTER than before…
The club is BIGGER…
The dance floor is BIGGER…
The bar is BIGGER…
DJ SUBVERT will assist you in
putting all that extra dance
space to good use
with his Contemptible mix of
INDUSTRIAL, ALTERNATIVE, EBM,
SYNTHPOP, GOTH, and NEW WAVE all
night long!
Not sure how to make use of all
that rooooom?
The Contempt GO GOs will show
you how it's done.
And after you've worked off that
turkey dinner on the dance
floor,
make yourself comfortable on one
of M1-5's cozy banquettes
and let VJ CHEYENNE entertain
you on the BIG SCREEN!
Of course, a new venue means
some things have gotta change…
M1-5 is a STRICTLY 21+ VENUE
(Sorry! We had no choice.)
But luckily, other things
haven't changed a bit…
You can still get your
CONTEMPT for only
$5 with pass/printout/contempt
card, $7 empty-handed

Word on the street is that
The Red Party's Venue, The
Orchard, located on 200 Orchard
Street is in danger of
disappearing as early as this
Sunday night due the refusal of
a liquor license transfer. Below
is the original MySpace bulletin
by D.J. Templar:
This is a sin, a travesty to
everything we worked so hard
for!
Knowing the owners and staff
personally, they have always
worked professionally and within
the boundaries of the law
(sometimes a little to much).
This is not the type of
establishment that should be
hassled, it is a waste of time.
I implore everyone to sign this
petition, please this is our
city and The Orchard is a
sanctuary for a lot of us Goths
and Miscasts.
Please repost and spread the
word, I can not stress this
enough, The Orchard should not
one of these gems that disappear
into the annals of "remember
that cool place, I miss it".
Please repost and sign the
petition!
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/save200orchard
Thanks to everyone who has
supported us so far...repost as
much as you can, with as many
positive community comments as
possible..
we luv u
