DRESS CODE: Insane asylum patient or scary zombie
MUSIC: Electro, techno, punk, indie and rock 'n' roll.
DJS: The Glitch, Anarkid and The Dirty Red Diamond DJs.
At this time of year it's normal to dress up, adopt a different character and play a part for Halloween. For regulars at Confusion Is Sex (CIS), however, dressing up is the norm and tonight, the Insane Asylum Halloween Ball in no exception - after all, this monthly night is where the weird becomes normal.
What started out as an art project by Gamma Ray Dali has since evolved into kitsch club night challenging perception of clubbing and boasting a multi-sensory show featuring a variety of different artists. From live acts to sexy pole dancers, burlesque performers to David Lynch-inspired art installations and video projections, CIS is the pinnacle of the avant garde clubbing experience.
On the bill at the Bongo Club tonight are three burlesque acts. First is The Chassy VanKlass in Caterpillar To Butterfly. Next, Lilli Vyne's Snow White from her slumbers only to transform her into an outrageous party queen. finally, Teniah Twisted puts the gore into another fairy tale in Blood And Red Riding Hood. Also appearing will be The Mad Scientist performing Thriller, with The Zombie Girls and Freaky Brides, joined by MC Billy Jean Dance.
Residents Glitch and Red Diamond DJs promise an equally strong sense of style with a diverse music selection ranging from trashy techno to sleazy electro and indie and rock. New DJ Anarkid will also be joining the line up. Edinburgh boy Ross Addy, to give him his Sunday best name, will be playing out the best in twisted techno and dirty electro.
A truly diverse club night, then, CIS is sexy and fun. Imagine being inside a carnival of the seductively strange, where masks are adored and the freaky come out to play. What better place to spend Halloween, so get dresses up and have a great time.
Confusion Is Sex, Bongo Club, Holyrood Road, tonight 11pm-3am, £6 or £5 (dressed up), 0131-558 7604
