Oklahoma City, OK February 1, 2010 Darkfaery Subculture Magazine and Darkfaery Girls are looking for independent clothing designers and crafters to feature in an upcoming issue, we will consider anyone that is genre based but we would prefer those that have Etsy shops or sell their craft from home. The Darkfaery Girls would like to have their photos taken for their bios and event photos wearing your creations. If you design costumes or rare items we would love to see your creations in our magazine on our models. We would really like to help creators that don’t have access to models or published works, this meets with our mission statement and we feel as if we are helping the art community.

Through the years it has been DFSM’s mission to bring together the underground music, art, and fashion scenes that have, in the past, tried to remain exclusive and reclusive unto themselves. DFSM is committed to stamping out pretension among the genres so that fans and industry professionals can come together to create something memorable, and darkly beautiful, for years to come.

DFSM reflects a unique lifestyle which both its readers and publishers strive to be a part of. Featuring and attending local events, conventions, and fairs, DFSM continues to transcend the labels and prejudices placed upon the freakish, interesting, weird world upon which we live.

Our magazine is distributed worldwide and free online from various publishing outlets, including our website. We have several ways we can offer to promote your business or idea. We attend, create, and sponsor many big name events throughout the year where we put together a promo pack of flyers, sticks, business cards, and items that we give away as a gift bag. We have found that this is a great source for us and for our readers to find services and products that might be of interest to them. We would like to invite you to take advantage of this with us by sending us your materials and/or linking with us as partners. If you would like to view a sample of our magazine you can find it free online:

Drop Dead Festival is a DIY community festival that spotlights great underground music overlooked by the mainstream. Festival booking tends to favor weirder bands and sounds but genres booked have included mutant disco, batcave, deathrock, weird wave punk, wave, ndw, electro and synthpunk anarcho, goth, experimental psychobilly, rockabilly , and more in the past

Drop Dead Festival History:
I am often asked by people who have never been to the Drop Dead Festival, what is it… Although its hard to describe Drop Dead Festival, you really do have to be there here is some background:
We started out in NYC 6 years ago in the legendary CBGBs club, and following years also held in in Limelight and Knitting Factory
Festival has grown and became the best known and largest festival for the really underground and outside of mainstream stuff.
From day one of the main goals of the festival was to give bands that are ignored by mainstream a larger audience and to help dj’s promoters and clubs from across the world who work with this type of music to meet each other and work together.
In nyc we worked hard on introducing post punk, gothic punk and deathrock scenes to the horror punk and surf and psychobiology and rockabilly scenes. Although people really liked the new music they found many of them really didn’t know about it before the festival. We usually had 3 floors with multiple stages and a dance floor as well as movie screenings, and other events.
We also try to book weirder bands as well as some NDW, wave, electro punk, anarcho punk and more.
Many of those type of bands have followings that are very fanatical and follow only that type of music.
Drop Dead has been a place for those fans to find more and to open up to new things.
The NYC and Los Angeles Drop Dead has been attended by people from all over America and the world. Over the years many people have asked us to bring the festival to Europe, and the idea appealed to us as well because it gave us a chance to book bands we couldn’t in America because of the expensive flight prices.
Last year Drop Dead Festival hit Europe for the first time – Drop Dead Festival Prague , CZ. Festival was one of the most diverse and successful DD festivals so far and in 2008 we are brining DDF back to Europe. For 2008 we will be in Lisbon Portugal Becouse of the amazing location as well as a really great music scene there.
