MASQUE & VEIL 2007
The Masque & Veil Festival returns for its most fantastic year yet on September 13-15!
Based in the mid-southern U.S., Masque & Veil features three evenings of independent dark music's best live performers and DJs. It also features the annual Masquerade Ball with its Best Dressed Awards.
~*Background*~
September 2004- a group of kindred spirits formed The Dark Room in Fayetteville, Arkansas with a simple purpose of having a venue to listen to styles of dark independent music not being played anywhere in the area. It only took weeks for the nights to gain a wider audience and soon The Dark Room was host to many guests from driving distance in the region. In Sept 2005, an anniversary celebration was produced named MASQUE & VEIL, featuring some of the region's most favoured DJs playing host to the night's masquerade ball. Many touring performers were scheduling stops in Fayetteville, being conveniently close to frequently toured larger metropolitan areas. As a result, in 2006 many live artists had requested performing at the next anniversary celebration. Thus the newly developed Masque & Veil Productions created the annual festival & ball, featured Voltaire, The Last Dance, Spider Lilies, Razorwire Halo with featured DJs Bludston, DJ Skeletal and End: the DJ. Now due to MV Productions growing presence in the mid-States, the developing MVE Agency and the support from many dedicated fans of independent artists, the Masque & Veil Festival this year promises its strongest year yet...
