Shadow Line Promo Video

The SHADOW LINE at the WALDORF HOTEL was possibly the most ambitious 80’s Goth revival night to ever hit Vancouver. It was created by Virginia Frazer and the VAMPIRE BATS and ran successfully through 2012. For the hip subculture denizens who managed to transcend the jaded cynicism of our “No Fun” City reputation… The SHADOW LINE was a revelation! I had one of my favourite local photographers Sarah “Beastman” Hamilton come out and document the July 26th edition! It was a particularly action packed evening. The guest DJ was Phil Western aka DJ PHILTH best known as a member of SKINNY PUPPY side project, DOWNLOAD. The bill also featured a musical performance by ARSENIC OF JABIR which was an abstract electro-wave project, conceived by multi-instrumentalist, Tristan Finck. But what really tipped the event into the realm of surreal Gothic Anarchy was a brilliant routine that fell into that hazy category between Burlesque and Performance Art by the always enigmatic SPOOKSY DELUNE and  scream queen actress TRISTAN RISK ! So here, forever preserved for historical posterity, is LE BEAST‘s SHADOW LINE photo gallery!
