Goth Talk

Sure to be more entertaining than the former SNL skit ... Liisa Ladouceur will be giving a talk at the Toronto Public Library (Bloor/Gladstone Branch) about the history of Goth music.

I'm definitely going to be there and if you are at all interested in the history, influences and contemporary directions of Goth music you should be too!

See you there!

From Bauhaus to the Birthday Massacre: Origins and Evolution of Goth Music

Bloor/Gladstone

Toronto music journalist Liisa Ladouceur, the author of Encyclopedia Gothica, explores the origins and evolution of goth music, using her book's original Goth Band Family Tree to trace its musical branches from 1970s punk and new wave to its diverse subgenres of today, with its connections to heavy metal, folk and even cabaret.

Goth Heritage FUNdraising!

Hey Folks,

It's time to take our beloved Toronto Goth Heritage Project to the next level. I've been starting to compile new interviews, map new locations and delve beyond Queen St. W. in mapping our historic community space, places and faces.

Many of you asked during Nuit Blanche if I would consider returning to the decks to spin another night and in the interests of supporting the continuation of the project I've decided, along with my friend Jairus and a few others, to give it a go!

So if you would join us in support of the Toronto Goth Heritage Project at Nocturne on the very Goth-y date of Friday Dec. 13th, 2013 we'd be most delighted! (it's okay for Goths to be delighted)

Cover is $10 and proceeds will go directly to the continuation and maintenance of the Toronto Goth Heritage Project as well as help cover expenses associated with the event.
