Dracula's Ball 15 Year Anniversary

dbwebad

The Dracula's Ball Fifteen Year Anniversary Event takes place TONIGHT (June 1st) at Shampoo.

Yes, it really has been fifteen years since the first Dracula's Ball event. For nightclub events that change with the seasons, reaching your Quinceañera means you're practically immortal. Which makes perfect sense for a vampire party.

Admission at the door will be available for $18, but it's possible we will run out of tickets at the door. If you don't have a ticket it's better to show up on the earlier side. If we run out of tickets at the door, we'll immediately update our Facebook event page accordingly.

As always, our event will feature 3 DJs spinning in 3 rooms as well as 2 bands performing live on stage.

Artists Appearing at Dracula's Ball, June 2013

Of course we have 3 DJs spinning on 3 separate dance floors to ensure that you always have something to groove to. Our DJs for this event are DJ Jack Phoenix, DJ Solaries and DJ Heaven Malone. Let's take a look at our live bands:

band1

AYRIA: Making the trip south from Canada, Ayria returns to the Dracula's Ball stage to help us celebrate our milestone. Their glitter-EBM-synth style has catchy pink melodies and dark beats to dance to. Vocalist Jennifer Parkin has an infectious energy on stage that lights up the audience and doesn't stop until her performance is over. Check out the link below to see one of her videos.
STAGE TIME - 10:35pm (See Video)

band2

PROJECT PITCHFORK: A legendary event like our 15-Year Anniversary Party requires a legendary band. We asked our good friends Project Pitchfork to come all the way from Germany to make another appearance at the Ball and they were happy to oblige. They have an amazing new album out ("Black") and enough hit songs to keep the dancefloor packed for their whole set. This will be one of the best concerts of the summer - do not miss this band!
STAGE TIME - 12:05am (See Video)
