Femme-fuelled goth and rock night headlined by Not Now Norman with local support from Dead Blood Cells, with £5 tickets.
The Coven Club returns to The Carlisle Rock Bar on Friday 30 October for a Halloween Spooktacular, a night of femme-fuelled goth and rock. The headliners are Not Now Norman, with Dead Blood Cells on as special guests. Both bands fit the bill: rock and goth, with women at the front.
The night is run by vocalist Amanda 'Mandie B' Brooks-Byron and bassist Steph Bennion, who are also in the local prog/goth-rock band Ditch the Demon. They play their own set every time, so they'll be on the bill alongside the headliner and the guests. The name is a nod to Jinx Dawson and her band Coven, the inspiration that led Mandie to form Ditch the Demon back in 2019.
There's a clear aim behind it: bringing new, female-captained voices to Hastings by pairing an out-of-town headliner with local support. It's also about keeping things viable for grassroots artists, which they do by keeping ticket prices low and paying the door takings directly to the bands. Each night is run as a standalone show rather than a club night, so you're there for the live music.
