Not since 1986 has The Batcave graced us with it's now iconic, genre forming and legendary presence! Often imitated and responsible for shaping if not birthing an entire genre: GOTH!
Specimen formed in Bristol, England in 1981 and the band opened the notorious and now iconic Batcave in London's sleazy Soho district in 1982, and invaded America dressed to kill in 1983. The 25th Anniversary Tour was the first part of this historic event on July 11th.
2008 The original 1983 line up of Specimen (and playing for the first time since 1986!) reform for The Batcave 25th Anniversary Tour AND hosting the Batcave at London's Colosseum on July 11th with the 1984 original line up of Sex Gang Children headlining the debauched proceedings. DJ Hamish the resident original Batcave DJ will headline the DJ proceedings. With additional support acts : Avoidance of Doubt and The McCarricks.
4th June 2008 - STOP PRESS!!
Batcave Update: We are extremely proud to announce that Youth (Killing Joke) and his new band Vertical Smile featuring Zodiac Mindwarp have been added to The Batcave bill. The event just gets BIGGER and better with each passing day.
As I've mentioned there will be 2 elements to The Batcave on July 11th. First off you have the only Worldwide date for the Batcave Club which is spread over 5 lavish themed rooms/zones. Co hosted by Olli Wisdom, Jon Klein and d.Void and Missy from Club AntiChrist.
This includes ALL night performers and cabaret. With additional art areas and installations, plus original Batcave props and new art by Jon Klein lavishly filling the entire venue. You must of course also expect LOTS of VERY special guests!!
You'll also have an ALL night 600 capacity Goth dance floor with headline DJ slots from original Batcave DJ Hamish along with the UK and Europe's finest Goth and alternative DJs. So Far we are very excited to confirm Dead and Buried Dj Cavey Nik, Tanz Macabre's DJX and Martin Old Goth - MORE TO BE ANNOUNCED.
Secondly you have an historic gig, with the original 1984 line up of Sex Gang Children headlining and of course the Batcave would just not be the Batcave without Specimen, who have reformed with the full original '83 line up and this will be their ONLY European date. Tickets for the gig also include full access to the Batcave Club.
