Completely restructured and relocated in 2009 the band has changed their sound drastically from electro to a unique hard edged, guitar driven industrial metal/coldwave style. STAGE TIME - 10:35pm (Hear Music) THE DROWNING SEASON: Putting the rock back in goth-rock, this Baltimore band has been laying down sonic napalm on the dancefloor for nearly twelve years. Major influences include The Sisters of Mercy, The Mission (UK) and Fields of the Nephilim. This is their second appearance at Dracula's Ball. STAGE TIME - 12:05am (Hear Music) In conjunction with publisher Knopf/Random House and author Anne Rice, we are pleased to announce two special promotions for this Ball. First of all, anyone who pre-orders a copy of Anne's new book, The Wolf Gift, from IsoTank will receive a FREE ticket to the February 4th Dracula's Ball event! But wait - there's more! At the Ball, we'll have a special drawing at midnight. Five lucky winners will receive a free copy of The Wolf Gift that will be autographed to them by Anne Rice - in person! Anne will be in Philadelphia in mid-February and winners will see Anne in person for their autographs. We have a limited number of free tickets to give away with The Wolf Gift, so if you would like to take advantage of this offer, do so now while you still can.
