Preview: Black Magic at Axis

Spring is here, which means its time to dust off your pleather, latex underwear, and everything in dark lace. Since early March, when Lauren DeVain started hosting Black Magic at Shine in Kendall Square, the night has moved to Axis ID Club (upstairs) to accommodate the growing number of followers and devotees in attendance. Ever since Manray closed its door in 2005, Boston's dark underground has been trying to find its niche again - the undead of electro, goth, and industrial waves. Bringing in Justincredible, Mistaker, and David Day to spin sleazy disco, industrial, goth-rock, and dark trance. Even better, there is no stuffiness or dress codes. All are welcome.

Special guest DJ Znuh will join the Black Magic crew. A regular at Ceremony in Boston, who claims "Every time I'm up I want people to be drenched in sound. Taken away to elsewhere and shown sights unseen." Sounds about right for the Black Magic veterans. If anything, it'll be interesting to see what color his mohawk will be tonight.

Show up early for a special treat from 10pm to 11pm.
Axis ID Club (upstairs). Landsdowne Street.
