RAPTURE - Mondays at Dante's!

About Me

Riverfront Times :
"Upon entering Rapture, you might feel like you've stepped into an unofficial Zombie Squad meeting. But children of the dark side are usually very sweet (we swear) â€” and at this weekly staple, everything is accepted: alternative, corsets, industrial, combat boots, mope, white face powder, '80s, transvestites, indie rockers, tragic goth dancing... you name it, it's cool. At Rapture, there are no crimes against fashion, only music. Black lipstick? Awesome. Don't know the words to 'Love Will Tear Us Apart'? Blasphemy. Here, you're pretty much guaranteed to hear the Cure, the Smiths, Echo & the Bunnymen and Nine Inch Nails â€” along with more underground things on the stompy industrial and gothic side as well â€” courtesy of DJ Skeletal and guests. Warms your little gray heart, doesn't it?" Jaime LeesClick here to read the full article in the Riverfront Times!
RAPTURE
Dark and Ambient. Rock and Electronic. Old and New.
Since July 2005...
industrial. goth.darkwave.ebm.indie.retro.punk.deathrock.electroclash.el ectronica.trip pop.classic alternative.metal.whatever...
RAPTURE is St. Louis' ONLY weekly dark music spin.
What began as a weekly showcase of local darkwave, industrial, and electro DJS at the cozy confines of the Upstairs Lounge has moved to the spacious state-of-the-art audio-visual experience of Dante's (but we dare you NOT to find those cozy confines in the dim, secluded lounge areas about the club).
DJ Skeletal hosts the night along with a rotating roster of St. Louis' best DJs playing on the bleeding edge of dark!
RAPTURE also hosts some of the best live touring Industrial & Gothic acts in the world! Among those who have played in the past include: Ego Likeness, Android Lust, Afterchain, Mankind Is Obsolete, Voice Industrie, Subsurface, Moulin Noir, & Run Level Zero. RAPTURE continues to feature live music or a major event at least every other month! See the flyers below for upcoming events.
Every Monday but the first.
Cheap drink specials for Industry & non-Industry!
- 10 p.m. - 3 a.m. 18 & up.
$2 before 10:30 / $5 after -
