DJ Scary Lady Sarah has been hosting her Nocturna dance party for ages—it’s been the place to scream and be seen for local fans of goth, industrial, and darkwave since Gossip Wolf was a wee pup. These days it’s held roughly every other month at Metro, and the party on Saturday, June 9, is also Nocturna’s 30th anniversary. Holy hairspray! It sounds like leather pants won’t be the only thing wrinkled in that crowd. Anyway, apart from the usual mopey-yet-banging dance-floor jams, the celebration will include a GlitterGuts photo booth, a live set from gothic cabaret goofball Aurelio Voltaire, and a preview of a forthcoming book on Nocturna’s history called Thirty Years of Nights. Here’s to 30 more!
