I hold an image of the ashtray girl
You know we miss her We miss her picture
Sometimes it's faded For fear of growing old ...

And we laugh A prayer for something better

I do a lot of new stuff
and I do a lot of old stuff
and to me the interesting
thing is doing both.

About

the Ball – Best of GothRock, Wave & EBM Classix ...

»the Ball« – last exit for the lost ...
Düstere Klänge. Dichter Nebel. Schatten. Ein Hauch von Nostalgie. Volle Tanzflächen bis zum Morgengrauen ... »The Ball«. Ein Name der in der schwarzen Szene Wiens mittlerweile nicht mehr wegzudenken ist – ein Fixpunkt der Gothic & Wave Szene – ohne dabei jemals an Stimmung und Authentizität verloren zu haben.
Tune in, turn on, burn out!
Bereits seit dem Jahr 2000 beschallen die Resident DJ’s TRAX & SPIKE die Szene mit düsteren Klängen abseits des Mainstreams. Ein gelungener Querschnitt aus dichtem, klassichem Gothic Rock bis zu harschen und schmetternden EBM-Klängen. Eine lohnende Reise durch die Dekaden der facettenreichen Musiklandschaft der Gothic & Wave Szene ohne sich jedoch Neuem zu verschliessen. So hört man auch immer wieder ungewohntere Klänge – wie etwa Zola Jesus oder IAMX.
And the dance goes on and on and on ...
Eine Besonderheit des »The Ball« sind sicher auch die Themenschwerpunkte. So gibt es jedes Mal nicht nur andere Gast DJ’s (u.a. Dr. No!, Scrag!, Skullfest, A Nurse called Mike, uvm.) sondern auch immer Mitternachts-Specials, wie Industrial, Minimal/Cold-Wave und Bat-Cave. So kommt man immer wieder in den Genuss neue, ganz alte, oder etwas andere Songs und Bands zu entdecken. Seit einigen Jahren findet im Rahmen des »The Ball« auch eine abwechslungsreiche Konzertreihe statt. So hat man schon Bands wie Clan of Xymox, Joy/Disaster, Soror Dolorosa, The Exploding Boy oder die heimischen Whispers in the Shadow in den Viper Room geholt und das Publikum begeistert. And the dance goes on and on and on ... 6-mal jährlich öffnet »The Ball« seine Pforten und bereichert so die dunkle Szene Wiens.

Gray would be the colour if I had a heart
You make this all go away
