Started in 1988; run by Scary Lady Sarah/American Gothic Productions, Nocturna is an 18+ dark alternative dance night held one Saturday each month in Chicago. DJ Scary Lady Sarah spins a highly request-driven mix of current & classic goth, industrial, post-punk, deathrock, ethereal, shoegaze, new wave, ebm, darkwave, dark indie & more. It's a lot of fun & you should go! ;)
The large crowd is varied of age & style and quite possibly the friendliest patrons any dark club could hope for. Always open until 5am: Come dance until dawn.
