"I only have one interest: I don't care if you live or die: I just wanna see you dance !“

This is the motto that made Thomas Rainer create his new musical project NACHTMAHR in 2007. After the Austrian artist has achieved worldwide success with L'AME IMMORTELLE and SIECHTUM in the past 11 years, he returns to his roots: the boiling dancefloors of industrial and goth clubs alike

Inspired by numerous years of DJing, NACHTMAHR is the missing link between merciless and provocative Industrial and the hammering power of Techno.

The new EP "Mädchen in Uniform" dedicates a long overdue monument to the uniformed ladies of this world and will pave the way to the band's ultimate goal: TOTAL CLUB DOMINATION!

UK sturm and drang stompers UBERBYTE rose from the ashes of the controversial industrial rock outfit Killing Miranda in late 2006. Newly rechristened with the enigmatic moniker "Uberman", KM's former vocalist quickly took Uberbyte to the stage, providing support to such heavy hitters as COMBICHRIST, Grendel, Hocico, The Cruxshadows, Panzer AG, KiEw, Die Krupps, XP8, Straftanz and Faderhead, becoming an almost overnight sensation in the flourishing, revitalized UK industrial scene.

Uberbyte are at their core, a mixture of the old and new school of industrial, pumping out enough pile driving, slam dunking power for any dancefloor while at the same time being capable of throwing out lean, distinctive, melodic material with a dark, twisted sense of humor.

Emerging from the deep depths of the underground scene, Mindless Faith combines EBM and industrial to create a sound unlike any other. While many bands try to stick to a specific formula, creating music under the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality, Mindless Faith injects diversity and creativity into the music making process. Their perfect balance of intricate electronic arrangements, grinding textures, and explosive beats prompted Side-Line Magazine to describe their sound as "worked out with intelligence, creativity, and knowledge."

The band has toured with acts including Spahn Ranch, Pigface, Switchblade Symphony, Flesh Field, Genitorturers, Godhead, Hanzel und Gretyl, Acumen Nation, Bile and many others. This has enabled Mindless Faith to showcase their talent to thousands along the East Coast and has essentially managed to garner a large following of fans addicted to the crunching guitars, infectious keyboards and extraordinary vocals incorporated into the band's unique sound.

With the concussive force of a runaway supercollider, Panic Lift exploded onto the industrial music scene in 2006, and they instantly careened to the forefront of the NYC industrial music scene. Equally destructive on the dancefloor as it is with more reflective listening, this album is a testament to the ideology that industrial music can be both agressive and epic, as well as carefully crafted. The songwriting transcends the repetitive, predictable cliches of current cookie-cutter releases in the hard electronic scene and proves that the future of industrial music is here, and it’s going to kick you right in the fucking face.

The Loft Warehouse is the hottest underground dance venue in DC today! According to the Washington Post: "Parties at the Warehouse Loft take me back to the days of underground raves... being there feels like you're in on an amazing secret, along with a group of people who aren't here to hug the wall and watch the crowd: They're here because they love the music."

Keep in mind that The Loft is a CASH ONLY BAR and there are no ATMs inside!

 

In addition to the FREE parking (~60 spots) directly surrounding The Loft Warehouse, there is also FREE parking directly across the street at The PNC Bank (which is closed down) that holds a few hundred vehicles.
