Drop Dead Arts and Crafts We have also done really elaborate space transformation at the drop dead festival. In NYC we usually worked about 6 month to make each room really different, but coming to Europe it has become a really cool chance to collaborate with others. Last year Gothic Pogo Party, ghost Dance as well as few others and some creative bands and attendees all contributed to the cool look of the festival.
This year we are inviting you again to make your contribution. Post your ideas, post pics of what you want to do, come join us when we decorate, we want to involve every person , band and promoter who is interested to make a visual impact.
What we are working on right now: Back drops. Painted fabric to transform the space quickly . The room I am working on will be a bit of Cabinet of Dr Caligari black, gray and white false perspective feel.
Another project is making silver , and different color (neon) stars. We welcome you too to cut out some stars ad bring them to the festival All colors , all sizes.
We can alas use more of lights, and black lights. Most of us are flying in so it's a pain to bring that but if any one has extra Christmas lights they want to bring we can always use more (to be returned at the end of the festival.
Ok you luck lucky NYC people.There will be a really crazy la style show coming your way and its all ages!
Birth from Los Angles is making a stop in NYC , look for crazy synth punk/ I actually saw this guys do a whole show without a mic because sound system died in LA. One of a most punk things i ever did see.
And your favorite NYC art punks Din Glorious will do a rare NYC appearance
Did I mention it was all ages? Did i say it will be a really crazy time?
We just finished selling Drop Dead Festival discount tickets. If you don't have your tickets yet don't worry at all. You can stil get them at a really good price of 75 euro for 5 days. Get them at the festival (at the door) or though our website (2 more weeks only) http://dropdeadfestival.com/

Drop Dead Festival Europe 2008 will be held in Lisbon Portugal. The Dates October 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 Venue October 8 Beach Tiki Party October 9, 10, 11, 12 Caixa Económica CAIXA ECONÓMICA OPERÁRIA Rua Voz do Operário, 64 Lisboa - PORTUGAL October 13 TBA
General Info: Early October will be an ideal combination of beach weather (with beach party on October 8 ) and low season prices. Drop Dead Festival is a DIY community festival that spotlights great underground music overlooked by the mainstream. Festival booking tends to favor weirder bands and sounds but genres booked have included mutant disco, batcave, deathrock, weird wave punk, wave, ndw, electro and synthpunk anarcho, goth, experimental psychobilly, rockabilly , and more in the past
Drop Dead Festival History: I am often asked by people who have never been to the Drop Dead Festival, what is it... Although its hard to describe Drop Dead Festival, you really do have to be there here is some background: We started out in NYC 6 years ago in the legendary CBGBs club, and following years also held in in Limelight and Knitting Factory Festival has grown and became the best known and largest festival for the really underground and outside of mainstream stuff. From day one of the main goals of the festival was to give bands that are ignored by mainstream a larger audience and to help dj's promoters and clubs from across the world who work with this type of music to meet each other and work together. In nyc we worked hard on introducing post punk, gothic punk and deathrock scenes to the horror punk and surf and psychobiology and rockabilly scenes. Although people really liked the new music they found many of them really didn't know about it before the festival. We usually had 3 floors with multiple stages and a dance floor as well as movie screenings, and other events. We also try to book weirder bands as well as some NDW, wave, electro punk, anarcho punk and more. Many of those type of bands have followings that are very fanatical and follow only that type of music. Drop Dead has been a place for those fans to find more and to open up to new things. The NYC and Los Angeles Drop Dead has been attended by people from all over America and the world. Over the years many people have asked us to bring the festival to Europe, and the idea appealed to us as well because it gave us a chance to book bands we couldn't in America because of the expensive flight prices. Last year Drop Dead Festival hit Europe for the first time – Drop Dead Festival Prague , CZ. Festival was one of the most diverse and successful DD festivals so far and in 2008 we are brining DDF back to Europe. For 2008 we will be in Lisbon Portugal Becouse of the amazing location as well as a really great music scene there.

I live in Conyers, GA; which is not the most happening hotspot for the
Dead Reader. I was wondering though; if there are some events that
maybe I have missed. I just found out about DragonCon and Tribalcon;
but I would like some events that interest me to go to in my area. Are
there any Drop Dead Events in Conyers, GA area, Decatur, GA, or
Atlanta, GA, USA area?
Many Blessings and Looking Forward to Some Exciting Replies and Events,
Vampire Libby
