Batcave North Goth Night

Goth Night featuring DJ Ivan Palmer, all night long. **This one is for you.** I am beyond happy to invite you back to the BatCave North, where we come together to celebrate our outrageous uniqueness, with DJ Ivan Palmer, Toronto’s original goth DJ. The BatCave North was born from me, back in 1984, and it grew into something special long before the word Goth was even part of the conversation in Toronto. When the original Batcave sound came out of the U.K. in the wake of the Punk movement, it completely captivated me, and I am honoured to be one of the people who helped carry the Batcave and Goth movement forward here at home. Fast forward to today, I now own and operate Disc Jockeys Unlimited, which keeps most of my time and focus. But I never stopped missing the dance floor, and I never stopped missing our BatCave North nights. Getting to co-create this space again, where all my Gothlings can come together, is something I genuinely love being a part of. $10 Cover at the door.
