The Coven

The First Willing Sinner

About Me

Lutons' only Gothic/Industrial dedicated clubnight, hosted by DJ Nephilimbabe, & CovenAlex who are constantly searching for new "Willing Sinners" to join our ranks.

Dress code: Goth/Alternative dress prefered - after all we are a goth club!
NO street clothes / Tracksuits / Football shirts / baseball caps etc
History:- The Coven started back in July 2002 at it's first venue Flame. Having firmly established itself as one of the driving forces of the gothic club scene, plugging the gap between London and Northampton, we moved locations to our current venue in January 2006 to The hat Factory.

I'd like to meet:


Anybody with an interest in the gothic / industrial lifestyle, and all - preferably here....



Guest DJs

Although The Coven hosts guest DJs from time to time, we also have a "keep fresh" policy and will try an bring in new guests as much as possible. If you feel you have "what it takes" by all means contact us, but experience is essential and we don't consider Laptop DJs.

Please also note, we are currently fully booked for 2008.

Please do not use the comments section for random chatting or advertising. This section is used for comments regarding The Coven only and any random comments or advertising posts will be deleted immediately.
Also note that we only accept UK/Europeon GOTHIC/INDUSTRIAL bands/people, regardless of our own personal tastes in music. We really have NO interest in anything else, especially gothic metal of any kind.
We're also obviously keen to add people to the friends list, but please be aware that if you can't support The Coven on a regular basis, then don't expect to be kept on the site. Time wasters are removed constantly.

CURRENT MOON moon phase info
Don't forget, DJ Nephilimbabe also runs Thursday Fury once a month at The Blackhorse pub in Hastings Street, Luton. This is a strictly post-punk / new wave / trad goth & 80s mix and is free entry 8pm - 11pm. Click on the banner for more details.

The bands list above indicates what is usually played at the Coven. If you can't find what you're into, then this site is not for you. We certainly do not entertain bands like Within Temptation, Dimmu Borgir, Children of Bodom, Black Label Society, HIM, Nightwish, Evanescence, or any other metal acts etc, and if that's your idea of goth, then I'm afraid you're sadly mistaken!
