Darkfaery Subculture Magazine @ Soonercon

Hey, Everyone! Well, it’s spring/summer 2008 and you know that means! Events, contests, and shows!
This year Darkfaery Subculture/Darkspace is pleased to announce we will attending Soonercon ‘08 in a professional fashion. That’s right! After being in the hospital for most of last year I am back to work on hundreds of new projects and attending events is number one on my list. (Doing some of my own shows is second!)
If you are attending Soonercon, please come over to us and give a shout, it’s been a year or two since we were out with video and I have missed you guys. VNV Nation doesn’t really count since I was still sick and couldn’t socialize.
We’ll be taking photos and video so you guys who are always asking when we’ll be updating our gallery with fan photos and event photos now is your chance to get in them. There will be lots of events to choose from at Soonercon so if you are trying to nail us down look for us in costume at Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Masquerade Ball, Sinnercon Dance, and probably most of the kinky events, like the kinky meet-and-greet, complete with a performance by Wicked Harem Belly Dance from Tulsa. Plans include a workshop series on the ethics and etiquette of convention (not conventional) sex, frank discussions of alternative life/lovestyles, and erotic art how-to’s. Z wanted me to remind you we can be found at the gaming tables too.
If you can’t attend, don’t worry, I’ll post info on how you can watch our videos on cable, MySpace, and YouTube. If you do come out, don’t be afraid of the camera, it won’t be afraid of you!

About Soonercon
http://www.soonercon.info/

SoonerCon is a fan run multi-genre convention held annually in Oklahoma City.

If you’ve been around the Oklahoma City area for a while, the name may sound familiar. Here’s why. There used to be a club in Oklahoma City called STAR OKC. Like most fans, they wanted a convention. After putting on a few one-shot types in the late 1970s and early 1980s, these folks, mostly high-school age through just out of college youngsters, decided to get organized, work hard to raise some money, and try to get something started. SoonerCon 1 happened twenty one years ago, in June of 1986. The con was begun and ramrodded by the Chair of SoonerCon 1, Mike Hodge. What he and many other helpers achieved lasted through SoonerCon 13 in 1997. Lots of artist and writer guests, from Tim Powers and Gene Wolfe to Brad Foster and Robin Bailey, were welcomed to Oklahoma City. During those years SoonerCon had hundreds of staff and helpers, and up until the last few years SoonerCon was “owned” by STAR OKC.

With SoonerCon’s exclusive emphasis on traditional SF/fantasy books and art, making it a “lit con,” a move arose as well for a local charity “media con” emphasizing genre TV/film, comics, gaming and pop culture actors, designers, and other guests–especially from Star Trek. Thus was born ThunderCon, which debuted in June 2001, balancing SoonerCon’s November setting, and lasted through seven annual editions and often with staff and helpers working both. The new con operated with a non-profit board and involved all the local fan clubs interested, from Dr. Who, Babylon 5 and Trek’s Starfleet chapters to gaming, modelbuilding, real space and even Dark Shadows! With “BoomerCon” judged a little too cute for a sister event, this project was named in honor of both Oklahoma’s spring weather, its Indian heritage and the state’s heroic 45th Infantry Division, the Thunderbirds—and so ThunderCon was born, its logo even adapted from the 45th’s patch. ThunderCon was created and first run by another member of STAR OKC named Larry Nemecek, who with his wife Janet later moved to Hollywood to work on STAR TREK for Paramount. Yea, fanboys! A few other conventions have also taken place in the OKC area, but haven’t “taken root” for more than a year.

lujhboia (quickfire)

By Duvy ⋅ April 1, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

LujhboiaTELL US ABOUT YOUR BAND (members, shows, whatever you feel you want to
say, NO PRESSURE):

Lujhboia was born back in 2004. His creator and leader Rodrigo Demencia
Santamaria wanted to get out his dark feelings from his mind and make
them music.
In depth, every song is nourished by aggressive tunes, distorted, torn
voices, furious sounds and piano and keyboards extremely dark. The
variety of shades, changes and structures of the tunes led the project
into a series of good reviews from Dark and Electronic music specialized
media, among others.

WHERE WERE YOU FROM?

Argentina.

WHERE HAVE YOU PERFORMED? (IF APPLICABLE)
Buenos Aires, Argentina

HOW DID YOU GET INTO MUSIC? (WHERE WERE YOU? )

Since i was a kid, i have passion for music, it´s the only way i have
to express my anger and my weakness, although in real life i´m a very
calm person hehe.

WHAT WERE YOU DOING? HOW OLD WERE YOU?)
I started at 15 in different gothic and classic metal bands, then I
realized the potential that electronic music has. I found in it an
interesting way to continue expressing myself.

WHAT DO YOU THINK IS DISTINCT ABOUT YOUR STYLE?
Extreme aggression and the constant changes of climax.

IF YOU HAD ONE THING TO SAY ABOUT MUSIC, FOR LOVE OR PHILOSOPHY OR
LEARNING, WHAT WOULD IT BE? NO PRESSURE.
Music is a wonderful therapy…. Not only for the composers, also for
the people who can feel it.

I hope you enjoy them,
Thanks for your support!

DFSM Exclusive audio interview with VNV Nation in Oklahoma City

By Duvy ⋅ January 16, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Click here for the exclusive DFSM audio interview with Ronan Harris of VNV Nation:
Download

We were lucky enough to be able to interview Ronan at their first show in oklahoma city, which was probably one of the greatest moments of my life. Meeting Robert Smith is really the only other thing that I can compare it too on my life chart. We are having a little trouble with the video part of the interview so it might be a few days before I can post that, still in the mean time you can enjoy the audio format. I had a wonderful time at the show and VNV Nation are one of the duvy and ronan harris of VNV Nation coolest bands to see live. Ronan Harris is a very engaging, enigmatic performer and he encourages both the fans and his fellow band members to participate in the show. After almost dying this year, I was so glad to get out of the house and do something that kept me from dwelling on my illness, and if you haven’t seen VNV Nation live you need to go out there and find a show near you!

Local Spotlight: Tympanic Frenzy

By Duvy ⋅ January 16, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Tympanic Frenzy have a rare sound that is truly original in a sea of bands that sound the same in oklahoma. I suggest you give them a listen without delay.

DFSM: Hey, it’s been awhile since we heard anything from Tympanic Frenzy, how is it going?
T.F.: Things are going well, since releasing Cerebral Funktion..In process… My brother Ryan has moved back from FL, and joined back up he’s doing some programming/writing and will be doing all the triggering and DJing for the live shows. Curtis has since left and Been replaced by a new guitarist, Kenneth Murrey. So he’s been learning older material and helping finiish the new stuff.

DFSM: Any projects in the works?
T.F.:As for projects nothing new aside from Tympanic Frenzy. We’ve been working on the next album for a while now, and were a little more than half way through it. We might release some sort of remix ep of some older tracks to tide folks over till we get this finished. Were trying not to rush it We want every song to be solid, no filler tracks, we also have a bit of a theme going for this one so we’ll see how that works. (theres a rough draft of a new track up on the myspace page “Bloodstained”)

DFSM: Tympanic Frenzy has a very distinctive sound what is the inspiration behind it? What puts you in the mood?
T.F.: Well the inspiration is life mainly, everything thats brought me to this point (lyrically) the state of the world.. its not great you know and we try to make people think about that some and realize were all part of the problem. Rather than blaming try to look in the mirror. What gets me in the mood to write…? That varys, sometimes its hearing other peoples music, or a movie or just having the need I’m always thinking about making music. We inspire each other as well.

Local DJ spotlight: DJ Bone - Oklahoma City

By Duvy ⋅ January 10, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Local DJ spotlight: DJ Bone - Oklahoma City

We had a chance to interview DJ Bone and I think this is one of the best interviews we have ever put up. DJ Bone is a bright fellow who has a great ear for good music. So let's see what he had to say:

DFSM: How long have you been a DJ?
BONE: had to start with a question i don't have an exact answer to, so let me think. its been roughly 3 years i do believe.

DFSM: How did you decide that being a DJ was what you wanted to do?
BONE: a ha…this is a pretty much a "stumble into it" affair. i would go out to the wreck room's goth nights for years…one night the dj happened to get into an argument with management and got fired. the next week they had some other dj spinning house on goth night. i don't like house at all so i just got word out that i would take a stab at it. (thinking it would be just a short lived deal) so the next week i walked in with all the music i could muster and dove in head first. it was rough for a while…but i had people stick by me and give me pointers and so now…here i am still going strong.

DFSM: Do you have a favorite song in your set?
BONE: a favorite song? not really. songs all depend on my mood…and the mood of the crowd honestly. you can't be a good dj if you don't pay attention to the crowd. they feed off you and inversely you should be feeding off of their energy/reactions. i really do like to mix it up. i started as a strictly goth dj…but anymore i don't really like having any kind of title. i much prefer the whole "what is he gonna play next" attitude. keeps people guessing and keeps people from getting bored. and its great to just try to pull off things like mixing visage's "fade to gray" with MC Chris….classic.

DFSM: Out of all the clubs that you spin at which do you like the best?
BONE: there's honestly not many clubs i dislike spinning at. its not really about the club to me…the only thing the club does it hosts the party and provides equipment. The wreck room is where i got my start so it has a special little place in my heart. The conservatory is an awesome venue and i love it dearly. the staff is great. i love the management and they will work with me whenever possible to throw a party. but back to the question…the club only provides part of the deal. most of it really comes from the people who show up. no people no fun to dj…its kinda boring being in a club and spinning for no one.

DFSM: Do you DJ outside of Oklahoma? If so, where all have you gone?
BONE: yes. i have i've been to arkansas quite a few times and i've been in dallas also. thats about it outside of oklahoma. i've been to many many places in oklahoma city and tulsa…and even random places like sparks oklahoma to spin at synthfest a few years back. but i got back to it being more about the crowd than where you're actually spinning

DFSM: How regularly do you do events/shows?
BONE: I personally try to throw a show every couple of months at the conservatory but nothing is in the planning for there right now. The park does have me spin there the last thursday of the month. This month (on the 26 of october) will be the halloween edition of the event. its called sub:MERGE, trying to get the old school crowd to get out and mingle with the new school crowd so we can ultimately get the scene built up again. and i try to make the music reflect the time period ranging from the 80's to today. Another i have planned is for the psyclon 9 show. that one i open for psyclon 9, pittersplatter and bedlam emotion. its going to be quite the gritty show also (flyers below). being halloween soon i also have private parties im booked for so i won't go into those much.

DFSM: Do you think the oklahoma crowds respond well to your set? Do they feel the energy?
BONE: usually yes. i mean you always have people who aren't going to like it and expect you to play something they consider better. its hard to please everyone and i do the best that i can. but usually people react well and i try to keep up with them. so yes oklahoma crowds react really well when i spin. so does arkansas.

DFSM: Is there anything you'd like them to know when they are out on the dance floor? About you, or the music you choose?
BONE: there's plenty i like to say. i try to keep this information going out to people via myspace, email or in person. if you have advice or suggestions hit me up. don't simply come up to me and tell me you hate me if you do. its your opinion but it does no good without some sort of constructive advice. i always ask for requests. what people would like to hear etc. i try to stay on the front of music but there's just a lot of music out there that i end up going right by that i really should have. thats where people with requests send me back on the search. otherwise. i get stereotyped as a straight up gothic dj still. i've been trying to break that stereotype for a while. don't get me wrong. i still enjoy doing it on special events. and when its requested of me…but i like to be diverse and branch out into the electroclash, breakbeat, hip-hop scenes etc. not really for more exposure but i like to mix things up. keep it fresh and interesting. so ultimately. try one more time and see what bone has up his sleeve
