"I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours, but I think this club's got a sick sense of humor."
On Good Friday (April 3rd), STRANGELOVE commits SACRILEGE by crucifying organized religion, and in particular, the most goth of them all: Catholicism. With its emphasis on ritual, black vestments, self-sacrifice, a morbid fascination with death, a detailed mythology of evil, and the ceremonial partaking of flesh and blood, goth culture owes so much to the Catholic Church.

In the back crypt, DJs Tomas Diablo (Strangelove) and Joe Radio (Death Guild) play unholy music like 'Personal Jesus', 'Godlike', 'Sin', and 'Christian Says', plus the best of Dark Electro, New Wave, Industrial, and Goth. And in the front chapel, DJs Xander (Dancing Ghosts) and Ms. Samantha (Clockwork) make a joyful noise unto the Lord with even more music about the divine and the profane.
Mmmm... Sacrilicious!
We invite you to snack on the body of Christ - we'll be serving both sweet AND savory Jebus! And make sure to partake of the drink special: Jesus Juice!
Wear your Sunday finest.
Reduced admission for those who dress the part: we want to see priests, nuns, altar boys, Catholic schoolgirls, messiahs, devils, angels, popes, etc.
Strangelove is every first Friday at the CAT CLUB (Folsom and 8th), with a different guests and a different theme every month. 21 and up with ID to enter. Doors at 9:30, $5 before 10PM, $8 after.
