Time to get out the black eyeliner, kids — the gothic circus is coming to town. Tonight's freakshow carnival matches goth music and performance with a full-on costume party; prizes are given for the best get-ups, so get thee to the nearest thrift store. Headliner Voltaire, whose music is inspired by European folk, performs with his full orchestra. The "viciously sarcastic" lyrics in his love songs teach listeners how to seek cruel revenge on those who have wronged them. Also appearing are electronic act the Gothsicles and rocker Sheriff Scabs.
