Official Relaunch Party 2008!
Posted by Randall Krause on December 30, 2007
I'm proud to announce that Nekromancy will finally be making a comeback at Chester Street Dance Club in January of 2008! Every Monday night, resident DJ SorceryKid will feature a non-stop mix of the latest and the greatest coldwave, EBM, oldskool industrial, electroclash, and synthpop music and videos for your dancing pleasure.
Also look forward to performances by guest DJs and touring bands on a monthly basis as well as theme nights, fashion shows, and other exciting events to be announced throughout the year. I'm currently in the process of booking a number of live acts for this spring. And the much anticipated DJ Martin Atkins of Nine Inch Nails fame has already been lined up for March!
Don't forget to mark your calendars and start spreading the word about Nekromancy at C-Street! I look forward to seeing you all in the new year!

I'm happy to say that Nekromancy is now booked through the middle of spring. Almost every other week I'll be bringing you a special guest DJ or band.

Photographer Needed for Monday Nights
Posted by Randall Krause on January 10, 2008
I was wondering if there's anybody with that would be willing to be the official photographer for Monday nights at C-Street. If you have professional experience that's even better. I cannot guarantee payment, however I would include your name in the credit roll at the end of each night (and possibly in the billing block of any theatrical trailers).

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Nekromancy was selected as the Daily Illini's "Pick of the Day" for the first day of the semester. How awesome is that?! Please check it out:

Thank You! We're Finally Back Home!

Last night's homecoming party at C-Street was an astounding success! With a turnout of over 110 people -- not to mention several hundred dollars in alcohol sales in the first two hours alone -- the barstaff sees exciting potential for Mondays.
In fact, Tommy and Ronnie both received an outpouring of praises and support from patrons throughout the night, which was extremely reassuring. Tommy in particular was surprised by our crowd's seemingly undying enthusiasm for C-Street. It totally blew him away. He guarantees that Ed (the bar owner) will totally flip after checking the books for Monday :)
I certainly appreciate everybody who helped to make this night possible -- whatever your contribution -- including all of you who ventured out in this cold weather to share in the festivities. I have to give esp. big kudos to Justin and Mike for spearheading this endeavor with me. It's always fun working with them! I'm really pleased to know that there are people in the local music scene that will go so far above and beyond just to make special events like this worth remembering.
Thank you all for making one of my lifelong dreams come true. I've been looking forward to the opportunity to have a Monday night residency at C-Street for many years -- as I'm sure people well know by now -- and to bring industrial nights back in full force. I really had high hopes for last night, but I certainly could never have envisioned such a triumphant return to C-Street, nor could it have been accomplished without every single person's support and encouragement. Even in spite of my relative astonishment, it actually did happen. We're finally home again. Congratulations and welcome back!
