On Friday July 13th, Stable Genius Productions brought The Vampire Bats w/ Bloody Betty, Momy Fortuna, Charlie Monroe and DJ Dan (From the Parish) to Pub 340 in Vancouver, B.C.  It had been over a year and a half since the last Vampire Bats show. Frontman, Marc had been back in Los Angeles (The city he had previously called home for most of the 2000’s) wrangling control of Secret Agent Records away from the label’s  U.S. Distributor.

For the packed, hot and sweaty house, Friday the 13th, ended up being a riotous night of unhinged dark Punk rock n’ roll. The show marked the stage debut of glam-grunge beauty, Charlie Monroe. The pitch perfect post punk witches brew of Momy Fortuna (Brandy Bones, Emily Bach, Binna Nancy Mendoza & Katherine Bastow).  A rare “Gorelesque” act by the now notorious Bloody Betty and finally the Classic “80’s style” post punk of the enigmatic Vampire Bats with a set that showcased their infectious anthem writing talents! The Vampire Bats line up is Marc Godfrey,  Thorsten Abel on bass, Erol Sora on guitar, Taylor Little on drums and Damion Gray on Keys.

The Return Of THE VAMPIRE BATS on FRIDAY THE 13th with BLOODY BETTY, MOMY FORTUNA, CHARLIE MONROE & DJ DAN from the Parish at PUB 340!

It’s been over a year since Vancouver has gotten to experience a VAMPIRE BATS show, but finally thanks to Stable Genius productions, they will be hitting the Pub 340 stage on Friday July 13th. Lead singer, Marc has been spending more and more time down in Los Angeles drunk driving with his celebrity friends and neglecting drunk driving with his Northern ones. So hopefully this show makes up for the neglect.

FRIDAY THE 13th!

Of course, no VAMPIRE BATS show would be complete without bringing up Bloody Betty for a few songs and as a special treat she will be performing one of her Gorelesque Acts in honour of Friday the 13th.

The Legendary BRANDY BONES will be playing with her new project MOMY FORTUNA. Named after the witch from ‘The Last Unicorn” Momy Fortuna is Influenced by the soft spot for the romantically melancholy and the invocation of the beast within us. The most fitting descriptions for Momy Fortuna’s sonic atmosphere are dark wave, ritual dark ambient, Gregorian chanting, neoclassical, even delving into black metal.

And of course we’re incredibly excited to be the event that debuts the Charlie Monroe Band. Fronted by the Gothic Glam bad girl, Charlie Monroe, they’ve been hard at work building an online following with their D.I.Y videos and Instagram promotional savvy. They are a dark mix of Grunge, Goth and Glam and they have a bubble machine!
