PURGATORY: THE SHOW

From small, simple origins in Charlotte, North Carolina, Purgatory has grown to become internationally recognized as one of the largest regular fetish/nightlife events in the United States. Founded in 2002 by Single Cell Productions, an entertainment company started by the enigmatic long-time event promoter Torch & internationally known fetish photographer Mystic, Purgatory has
grown from it's initial attendance of 150 people in the now-defunct Hungry Duck (described by many as a hole in the wall), to crowds averaging 1,200 people at Amos Southend

For those that might not be familiar with the event itself, Purgatory is a bi-monthly fetish, arts and nightlife expo. It features world class DJs and performance artists, visual art displays, professional
dancers and photographers, interactive fetish play areas operated by professional doms/dommes and a fully stocked alternative lifestyle vendors area where patrons can purchase everything from adult novelties to clothing to CDs and even custom vampire fangs. The milestone 40th Purgatory will take place on October 11th, 2008.

Purgatory also takes it's unique brand of entertainment on the road with it's Purgatory Road Show to various locations throughout the country, performing the very best of their acts from the home
stage along with acts custom tailored for their individual bookings. This traveling group performs at nightclubs, theme parties, corporate events, art galleries and conventions throughout the nation bringing it's unique blend of alternative art to new cities and exposing new patrons to the wilder side of entertainment.

No stranger to the media, Purgatory has been featured in several local, regional, national and international publications, including (but certainly not limited to) Skin Two, Buckle, Rifts ,Q-Zine,
Marquis, Maxim, Lollipop, Excitement, Gothic Beauty, Eye, Creative Loafing and countless others, as well as many radio & television programs including Queerview, Maxim Online, Divakar's 90 Minutes, Playboy TV, Fox News Edge, Z-Axis Television, and Insomniac With Dave Attel. The independantly filmed Purgatory Documentary is currently in post-production and is set to be released in the spring of 2009.

After recently being named a top 10 finalist in 4 categories in the 2008 Bondage Awards, including Best Fetish Company, Purgatory has proven that they are here to stay in the entertainment world, and that this is only the beginning of many more great things to come.

THE GRAVEYARD BOULEVARD

The Graveyard Boulevard includes Abby Normal (vocals and guitar), Sicko Zero (drums) and Seaweed (bass). While obviously influenced by horror movies and scary stories, The Graveyard Boulevard have maintained a music style that contains catchy melodies without compromising an aggressive attitude. Residing in North Carolina, The Graveyard Boulevard have toured the East Coast and Mid-West of the United States. In June 2006, they shared the stage with horror-punk legends, the "Misfits", for several shows. Other notable shows have included Rock City Morgue (featuring Sean Yseult of White Zombie), Wednesday 13, Dr. Chud (ex-Misfits), The Independents, Ghoultown, and Blitzkid.

From the underground of rock and roll, The Graveyard Boulevard have been haunting the world with their skele-tunes since 2002. Most recently, the band released their second eerie-sistable full-length CD entitled, "Dead City Radio" on EVP Records. "Dead City Radio" had sales to eight different countries and has received highly favorable reviews. One critic wrote, "I'm packing my hearse and moving to Dead City right now because The Graveyard Boulevard brew rot and roll just right."

Founding members, Sicko Zero and Abby Normal are also well-known for their roles in The Frankenstein Drag Queens From Planet 13. Rue Morgue Magazine heralded FDQ as, the most bad-ass, transvestite horror-punk band of the millennium. FDQ featured Wednesday 13, who is also infamous for forming The Murderdolls with Joey Jordison of Slipknot. Between 1996 and 2001, The Frankenstein Drag Queens released a total of 4 CDs and gained a reputation that lives on. The original FDQ CDs became so extremely desired and expensive through online auction sites that in 2006, Ryko Records and People Like You Records released a FDQ box-set called, "Little Box Of Horrors", containing all the FDQ CDs plus a number of bonus features. The world-wide release of "Little Box of Horrors" quickly disappeared from the shelves.

F1LTH ON D3MAND

F1LTH ON D3MAND is the brain child of industrial/club
Poster-boy DJ Onesiktr1k, and the members of pioneering electro/rock band, Rollercoaster Pilot (RCP). Together they have forged their sound by taking modern electro dance and cyber punk influences', and replacing it's heart with that of a true industrial monster. Their blend of old and new school synthetic backdrops, metal guitar mayhem, inventive percussive manipulation, and in-your-face vocals result in a sound that is truly all their own.

THE VIRUS TWIINS:

The VIRUS TWiiNS (formerly The Geminus Sect) is the product of identical twin brothers, Xaine and Xevin Virus. Robotic, yet melodic songs create a futuristic soundtrack to the twin's outlandish stageshow. The mixture of synthetic and organic instruments used to produce their music is personified in the twin's image and live show. With this idea, Xevin and Xaine have set out to devise an android caricature of the "man
vs. machine" nature of their music.

As The Virus Twiins and as The Geminus Sect the twins have shared the stage with such acts as Pigface, Lacuna Coil, Bile, Moonspell, and The Covenant. They spent three years signed to the Cleveland label Sin Klub Records and also licensed their 1999 self-produced demo to MTV for use in the shows Making The Video and Jackass (before MTV became SoapTV).

The VIRUS TWiiNS return to Summer Bloodfeast for the 2nd straight year, ready to infect their audience with lots of brand new material!

Blood Moon Cult
Gothic / Industrial / Metal

Iza: Vocals, Keys
Shai: Vocals, Electronica/Industrial
J-Wraith: Guitar
Mjolnir: Bass, Truck Nuts
Halo: Drums

Forging Industrial dance with the violence of Metal, Blood Moon Cult descends crimson moonlight onto a new progressive Gothic sound. Born on the chaos fringe between the bible belt and the metro sprawl of America, the band was formed in early 2008 a mere four years prior to the end of the Mayan calendar. Through music the Cult uncovers the world after dark through the eyes of a Fallen Angel. While songs such as “Nation of the Sphinx” detail humanity’s one way ticket to self destruction, “Something Beautiful” compares Vampyric rites with our insatiable hunger for progress. If you enjoy dancing in the dark as well as thrashing in a pit then Blood Moon Cult is the pan’s flute you have been waiting to hear echoing through the forest.

Guest MC Dave Harlequin

Dave Harlequin has quickly emerged as an established young face in the nightlife entertainment scene, described by colleagues as a "freak of all trades" due to his impressive and very diverse backgrounds.

At age 16 he joined the now defunct industrial/metal band Kryonik Immortailty, where in it's 3 year existence, he acted as both a manager/booking agent and performer, recorded 2 full length albums and
toured the east-coast playing alongside established acts such as My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, Slick Idiot, Cold, Dope, Bile, Pigface, Lunatic Candy Kreep and several others.

In 2002 he was one of the founding members of shock-rock act Astrid Haven, where he helped establish them and performed alongside acts such as Voodou and The Murderdolls before leaving the band in 2003 to pursue a career in writing and performance art.

Over the next few years Harlequin traveled around the US, where his writing was published in several poetry collections and won numerous awards along the way. In 2004 Harlequin acted in Another Roadside Production's stage adaptations of Eric Boginson's "SubUrbia" and Robert Mulligan's "Up The Down Staircase".

In 2006, he returned to Charlotte, NC where he joined the horror-themed punk rock act Streifte Geist as a fill-in synth player, only to part ways shortly
thereafter, stating that he would rather work on the management/production side of things as opposed to his many years on stage.

During that time, he was hired by Single Cell Productions, who were very impressed by his resume, to help with their promotions department. In a manner of months, he quickly worked his way up to management being named the Director of Promotions where he helped to earn attendance records at the flagship "Purgatory" events, it's home venue Amos' Southend and countless other area venues. Harlequin also performed in countless stage acts with Single Cell, including a headlining role at their 5 year anniversary Purgatory in 2007 and acted as MC for several Single Cell and
outside events.

Also a self-proclaimed "press whore", Dave Harlequin has been featured numerous times in the media, including countless appearances in local/regional as well as national/international publications, many
radio broadcasts, and even television appearances on "Insomniac With Dave Attel", "Queerview TV" and is featured in the forthcoming "Purgatory" Documentary, which is currently in post-production.

Currently, Harlequin has stepped away from performance art, and has moved up into the executive staff as the company's director of public relations and event operations, but still handles MC duties for several
events including Purgatory, Synthesis, The Purgatory Road Shows, Frolicon and of course Summer Bloodfeast III.

Harlequin is also trying his hand at the big screen, working on 2 independent horror films (a lead role in a short film entitled "Death of a Bootlegger" and a
full length feature entitled "Special Affects" by Full Moon Pictures).

With such an impressive resume at a very young age and Single Cell Productions backing him, there's no question Dave Harlequin certainly has a very bright future ahead of him.

THE INDEPENDENTS
“in-de-pend-ence n. 1 the state or quality of being independent; freedom from the influence, control or determination of another or others 2 [Now Rare] an income sufficient for a livelihood” - Webster’s New World Dictionary (Third College Edition)
Y’see, no matter how far things spiderweb and branch out, it’s always gonna come back to one thing: scary. Scary, scary, and - since we’re already talking about it - scary.
Hearsay has it that the only thing scarier to sprout from the muck and mire of South Carolina’s swampland than guitarist Willy B is his partner-in-grime Evil Presly. Whereas Mr. B has that gentlemanly Southern smarm and a drawl that simply drips with “git th’ shovel”, Mr. Presly - a leather ‘n leopard wrapped mass of mange, canines and charisma that’s charmed the pants off more than one chimpanzee - is a brash, one-man avalanche. Put simply, put the two together on a stage, in a van or bar tab and somebody’s gonna end up hurt and bawlin’.	In For The Kill Album Cover
In the early 1990’s, the pair joined forces, vowing to destroy the boggy boredom and stereotypical sasquatchshit that was plaguing their local music scene. With an unhealthy devotion to horror films and frighteningly diverse musical tastes in tow, the Demonic Duo decided that the best way to pay tribute to their heroes - Conway Twitty, Iron Maiden, Etta James, The Specials and the Ramones among them - were to hammer them all into a shaker (no stirring, thank you) and serve the whole steaming and quickly-congealing mess over ice. A few years of doing so laid waste to not only a few band members, but a handful of demo recordings, compilation appearances and scads of hellish live shows as well, culminating into a deal with indie label Rockduster Records and the release of The Independents’ debut, IN FOR THE KILL. Extensive touring for IFTK resulted in shows with Voodoo Glow Skulls and Blink 182, as well as blossoming a friendship between Evil and Ramones bassist CJ Ramone. A few opening dates of the Ramones ACID EATERS tour followed, ending with The Independents being taken under the motherly leather wing of Joey Ramone, who volunteered to manage and produce the band.
The Metro Chicago, IL	1997 saw the band signing up to release the 7-song STALKER EP on Elevator Music, and then heading out onto the road yet again and teeming up with Rancid, Reel Big Fish, Green Day and several dates of the Ramones’ Farewell Tour, as well as the CMJ and South By Southwest conventions. Touring was followed by stints in the studio to record songs for the hilariously-hits-home Bruce McDonald film, HARDCORE LOGO, a Joey Ramone/Daniel Rey-produced cover of Danzig’s “Mother” and several as-yet-unreleased ditties with Ramone himself handling vocals. 1998 was celebrated with the release of a self-titled single on Hellcat/Epitaph as well as dates on Van’s Warped Tour, the New England Ska Fest and opening for everyone from Ronnie Spector to Cheap Trick, Citizen Fish and Sebastian Bach. The grueling recording for their BACK FROM THE GRAVE album (also produced by Ramone and Rey) was broken up by an appearance in Robert Tucker’s horror spoof FATAL RINSE, shooting videos for the songs “Little Blue” and “Death Notice” with renowned director George Seminara (Ramones, Danzig, Beastie Boys) and a $60,000 incident involving the abduction of their van, trailer, merchandise and equipment - some of which being irreplaceable gifts from the Ramones. BACK FROM THE GRAVE and THE UNHOLY LIVING DEAD EP were both released independently (no puns) before the band set off on a tour of the U.S. with the Misfits - dampened considerably by the untimely passing of Joey Ramone on April 15, 2001.
2002 was spent vanning to and fro with the likes of The Queers, The Eyeliners and The Briefs and several headlining stints. Early 2003 saw the release of the live opus LIVE FROM MURDER BEACH as well as compilation contributions for the likes of Cleopatra, Fast Music and Peephole Records and even more live debacles with The Pietasters and Voodoo Glow Skulls. An extremely busy 2004 (which included the release of the FULL MOON ARISE EP/CD-ROM, a rousing rendition of “Sword Of Damocles” on Spring Man Record’s THE ROCKY HORROR PUNK ROCK SHOW comp and a successful “No Rest For The Wicked” U.S. jaunt) came to a rather unnerving end in mid-November. In the first days of making their long awaited UK/European debut with pals The Dangerfields, The Independents were involved in a horrific bus accident in England that left their bus driver in cranially critical condition and a cut and crisped Willy B with numerous rattling crumbs previously known as a left arm.
Upon mending up and returning home, it was only a matter of weeks before the punishment gluttons were back at it, burning up asphalt, eardrums and Alka-Seltzer with two full headlining campaigns and another lengthy stint with The Queers. Because of outstanding sales (damn ‘em!) BACK FROM THE GRAVE and LIVE AT MURDER BEACH had to be repressed not once, but twice and 2005 was brought to a catastrophic close with the final touches being put on the long, long, looooong awaited ETERNAL BOND. The forecast for 2006 is as bleak and black as it’s always been: scary-as-all-hell with a 110% chance of abject terror and piss-jetting panic. That is, more music (ETERNAL BOND, a reissue of STALKER with bonus tracks, performances with Joey Ramone on the LIVE AT THE CONTINENTAL compilation CDs and DVD), more Constant Commuter Miles, more jugular-jabbing joyrides, more finger flippery, more broken bicuspids and more satisfied ‘n sighing gothapotami than you can shake your foot-long coney at.	Evil Presly and Willy B With Joey Ramone Manitoba's, NYC 12/12/00
Be ascared. Be very fucking ascared.

VOODOO VELKRO:

Formed in 2007, from humble roots in Atlanta Georgia, Voodoo Velkro has quickly grown to become one of the premier names in industrial music. After their long awaited 2008 release of the album "Black Magic Techno" and touring nationally with names like 16 Volt, Bella Morte & Christian Death, they quickly grew in notoriety as one of the hardest-hitting bands out
today.

Certainly no slackers, Voodoo Velkro are currently finishing off their 2008 tour, and are set to release "The Ultimate Sound Conspiracy", a 10-track remix EP in late July. Voodoo Velkro also finds time to devote to 2 different side projects known as "Skabdriver" & "AM/FM". Finally, they are already planning on a 2nd remix album, done entirely by other live bands.

With a reputation like this, it's no surprise Voodoo Velkro are one of the fastest rising stars in the underground today!

ANGELS ON ACID:

Angels on Acid was founded by M!K!LL in early 2003 with a heavy influence in EBM, Industrial, and Psychedelic Trance.The creative vision was to merge all of the dark, aggressive styles of the last 20 years into a new genre of music that he calls "Psybercore."

M!K!LL began working with Metal guitarist The Omen in
the fall of 2005 and released "THE Dominate E.P." in the spring of 2006. The Dominate E.P. was a milestone of diversity for their early experimentation of Industrial, EBM, Psychedelic Trance, Metal, and even Synthpop. And though the early stages of their style were born, the hunger for something more defined kept them digging for something deeper.

In June of 2007 Angels on Acid successfully released their first full length album "Eyes Behind The Curtain." and began distribution with DSBP Records shortly thereafter. Surprisingly "Eyes Behind The Curtain" was well received by critics and began selling out of stock reaching orders as far away as Australia and Japan! That summer they also had to the opportunity to perform with international artist like Combichrist, Imperative Reaction, Assemblage 23 and
Modulate.

December 7th 2007 Angels on Acid's EBM epic "Misery Loves Company" was featured on the Alfa Matrix compilation Endzeit Bunkertracks act III along with other great artist like DAWN OF ASHES, NOISUF-X , LEAETHER STRIP, MODULATE, GRENDEL, SUICIDE COMMANDO, AYRIA, X-FUSION, VIRGINS O.R. PIGEONS, TERRORFAKT.

By Late December of 2007 Angels on Acid became a proud member of the DSBP Records family and re-released their first full length album "Eyes Behind The Curtain" on the label. It's a fact that Angels on Acid has established themselves as one of the best up and coming artist in the EBM/Industrial scene today. On December 31st Angels on Acid headlined Single Cell's highly successful "Synthetic New Year" event along with Anders Manga and were featured on the "90 Minutes" underground music program on Charlotte's 106.5: The End, and portions of their performance were shown on the television program "Fox News Edge"

They are now currently in the studio recording material for their next full length album to be released on DSBP Records in late 2008. This is only the beginning of what appears to be many great things to come.
