Gothicfest 2007 was held at the Excalibur in downtown Chicago. This castle like building designed by Henry Ives Cobb was built in 1892. The massive multi room, nine level maze can be a bit intimidating at first. With its gothic overtones, dark winding corridors and spiral staircases, it should come as no surprise that the space was once a downtown church.According to rumors, the building was also used to house corpses from a shipwreck,was a mob-related murder scene, a pornographic theater, and a crack house before itwas turned into the Limelight Nightclub by Peter Gatien in 1985. It is also rumored thatthe building was a place of Satanic rituals.www.excaliburchicago.comOur previous festival "Gothicfest 2005" featured: Hanzel Und Gretyl, Slick Idiot with En Esch and Guenter Schulz formerly of KMFDM, Project .44 with Levi Levi (The Thrill Kill Kult), Grigori 3, Slave Driver, Deepest Symphony, Ofearia, 13 Winters, Dies Mali, Rosenguard, Withering Soul, Ghost Orgy, Drake, Reverend Agony, Rachael's Surrender featuring Elysabeth Grant the vocalist for Black Tape for a Blue Girl, Psionic, Methodical, Terminal Bliss and Dead Girls Corp!
