Here.
If you all would indulge me in a
roll call with a bit about yourselves, that would be most kind.
As is only fair, I'll start.
Jordan Harris (or Jordan Decay, if you prefer), once of Carmilla's Dress,
but for a number of years the fellow behind the Jordan Decay spoken word /
dark ambient project, and the mini-zine called The Burnt Library.

Moved here from the SF Bay Area four years ago for grad school, don't go
out as much as I'd like to. I know some of you in person and others
only from teh interwebs.
Listening to a lot of electro and cyber lately, but still listen to
80s/90s industrial and goth.

Hi Sarah-
I'm the promoter who put on the first-ever Pittsburgh concert promoted as
"goth": "an evening of gothic rock" - January, 23 1988, here's the image
of the poster:
http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=88727932&albumID=1941547&imageID=27792555
and have been doing dark music shows ever since, working with everyone
from Death in June to Christian Death to Xymox (by the way, I recently
communicated with Ronny
Moorings - he would love to do another US tour if he can find a reliable
booker!). Since (unlike many people in the local scene) my interests swing
wide into all sorts of underground, indie,
avant-garde & experimental musics, you will find much that I do that may
"cross over" into goth interests (like, say, an IDM or harsh noise show)
but is not strictly goth or industrial per se.
If you are interested in the live music and goth culture, and don't mind
reguarly hyphenating goth with its apparent sister term "industrial", then
there is no shortage of live performance to check out in the area. The
most active promoters are myself and the dudes from Distortion Productions
(Jim Semonik of Reinforced and his [acu]crack team] and we also work
together to bring the heat.
There are also other events as well - a fetish concert last week at the
Rex with local bands Prometheus Burning and Agnes Wired for Sound was
enjoyable as well.
Last night, Slick Idiot played at Pegasus to about 60 people. So,
unfortunately, even for prominent
live bands, there is limited interest here. I think this is because a lot
of the old people either stick to only DJ nights or just stay home out of
Brian's aforementioned anxiety. And the younger kids
get their info from Hot Topic, so they are more likely to show up at shows
where there are screamo metalcore bands with makeup and autotune and
crouching, or neo-Juggalo type groups (eg MSI), or maybe (if we're lucky)
some band that gets its influences from the Dresden Dolls, and they don't
really know anything about the history of either goth *or* industrial.
Only maybe once or twice a year you might see 300 people in one place.
That almost always means that VNV Nation, Combichrist, or Cruxshadows are
in town.
What I find interesting is that at this point, dark music has spun off
into so many subcategories
that it's particularly difficult to please a whole lot of people unless
the band is already very well
known. For example, the recent trend in the past several years of the
Balkan bands (Gogol Bordello, Balkan Beatbox, etc) has a lot to recommend
it to the dark-cabaret audience but the goths don't necessarily cross over
into it. Circus-punkers World Inferno Friendship Society now has one of
the two Dresden Dolls members as their drummer, but you don't see Dolls
fans flocking to see WIFS here. Cliquey attitudes like that don't help
open any minds.
Anyway, we hope to see you soon at some live events. In a separate post, I
will list some live event you may want to check out.

Ey, My name is Sarah Spock,
Id venture to guess no one on this mailing list knows who I am. I was
part of the goth scene in my hometown, and recently moved to
pittsburgh. I joined the mailing list so i could get a good idea
about when and where shows are held. It seems to be mostly DJ, and
im more interested in the live aspect of goth music and the culture
which surrounds it.

I'm still here - been around since I was jail bait 12+ years ago. I think the first gothy show I went to was Gossamer and Mindless Faith at the Beehive in the early autumn of 1997 - just turned 16 :) From then on, I was in PGH about once or twice a month for G/I clubnights and shows (traveling from Indiana County). I lived in PGH at The Shady House in 2001-2002, then moved back to Indiana PA to finish up my undergrad. Had a radio show on Pitt's station in 2002 and IUP's station 2003 and 2004 I think. Sang with a couple spooky projects. I live in PGH again (since 6/2007). I don't go out much these days, but every once in a while, I'll go to a show (gonna see Diamanda next week!) or show up at a spooky music dj night. I think I should get out a little more, but I am turning a little bit reclusive and smoky places give me a headache and I really have to be in the mood to get dolled up.
But yeah. Present!
Danielle Biconik/Agape Lust/Whatever other spooky nickname I had when I was 17

With this list having the longest history of all the Pittsburgh Goth networking options, I'm curious who still is on here (or if it's just down to Manny, a handful of others, and me). If you all would indulge me in a roll call with a bit about yourselves, that would be most kind.
As is only fair, I'll start.

I'm still here, since this list is so low-traffic I haven't bothered to
unsubscribe. (That and I know a bunch of the old-timers and like to keep
up.) I no longer live in Pittsburgh, and am no longer that much into goth
or industrial.

Dennis C. Lee, previously with Vequinox, The Venusians, THUS, Mr. E and the
Necromantics, and The Living Daylights. Currently solo keyboard sets,
mostly in Westmoreland County.
I like staying connected with pgh goth list for the occasional show that I
might not notice in CP. And of course gossip, though there hasn't been much
of that of late.
ever,

Greetings
I used to post under my SCA* name and title, "Lord Degan" . I
still go by Degan on the internet because I mostly post on SCA and
neopagan related lists. Most of my friends from the goth scene just
use my real name, Jeff Foehringer.
I've been here since 1996. I can remember seeing 'Carmilla's
Dress' when Jordan was a member back at Luciano's on Forbes. Manny's
Damnation series were the first concerts I attended in Pittsburgh.
I have no Goth street cred, except that I attended Ceremony
regularly for it's first three years at Laga, and for it's last four
years at The Upstage. I was there the first night that the Night
Shift took over, and I was there for the last night at Upstage. Never
went to Pegasus much except for a few concerts. Live concerts are
almost all I do now, since I'm too old to be dancing like a freak at
nightclubs.

I would love to see these concerts, how do i make sure I do not miss
them in the future? I saw Combichrist in Chi-town and was in brazil
when psyclon 9 showed-what a bummer. I have problems finding a concise
site for live shows. i have to check many places to get the info I
need for shows in the "burgh. I am very interested in the live shows.

To plug my own work, the Burnt Library always has a concert listing in the back. While I do miss some events, I daresay it's pretty extensive.
I keep meaning to start posting the events listing to this list. Maybe I'll get to doing so finally...
