It was at Elysium bt it's like a once-every-6-months thing. The DJ was 
DJ Malediction aka Ely bat who is a huge Killing Joke fan (he had on a 
bad ass Killing Joke patch on his jacket, even), but he lives in, and 
DJs in, San Antonio, so he only does this up here like twice a year.

It's kind of stupid that Austin is supposed to be way cooler than San 
Antonio yet the death rock thing he does where he plays Bauhaus/Killing 
Joke/Misfits/45 Grave/Christian Death/TSOL/Xmal Deustchland/Joy 
Division/etc/ (in other words, actual gothic punk) is in San Antonio and 
as far as I know there is no regular event in Austin that does that. 
Here a "goth" night means thump-thump-thump industrial techno music, not 
guitar-driven post-punk rock on the darker side, which to me is what I 
always loved and preferred musically.
