September feels like the beginning of goth season, although some of us have clearly been ignoring the seasonal restrictions all year.
On Sunday, September 20th, Descent returns to the Red Room for another night of Goth, industrial, EBM, darkwave, metal, dark 80s, and everything else that keeps us dancing until someone turns the lights back on.
If you’ve been coming for years, we’ll be happy to see you again. If it’s been a while, consider this your invitation back. And if you’ve never been to Descent before, come find out why this strange little Sunday night has been bringing Vancouver’s alternative community together for 19 years.
Wear what makes you happy, bring some friends or come on your own, and we’ll see you downstairs.
