Sanctuary Bio:
Established in 1997, Sanctuary Saturdays is Vancouver's longest-running night devoted to alternative culture and music, and the second longest running night in the city overall. Originally started and thriving at the Palladium before moving to well-loved residencies at The Purple Onion, Sonar, Celebrities, The Red Room and The Lotus, Sanctuary now is found demolishing the dancefloor at Club 23 West, 23 West Cordova, on the 1st, 3rd and 5th Saturdays of every month, alternating with it's sister night, the notorious Sin City Fetish Party.
Sanctuary is a place you can come dressed to the 9's in full freak regalia or insane costume and everyone will love it, or show up in jeans and a t-shirt and no one will blink, since everyone's just there to cut loose and have fun.
Attended by a huge crossover mix of freaks, punks, club kids, goths, rivets, hipsters, mods and every style under the sun and moon, there's a little something for everyone at Skank. The one thing the night ISN'T is the same shit hour after hour and week after week. What are you gonna hear? Deadly new tracks, favourite classics and shit from left field thrown in now and then for good measure. Beware!
+ occasional guests including Contrasoma, Lucent, Pyxis & more!
--> Check out these archived videos from past parties and host venues, loads of fun and full of eye candy!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People who aren't afraid to leave bruises on their feet from hitting the dancefloor so hard. Or on their liver from equally terrorizing the bar. Music, band and nightlife lovers of all kinds.
