Want to dress up? Listen to great music?
Then consider heading to Goth Cruise, WBAR's annual winter concert in the Diana Center starting at 7:30 p.m. on Friday—if you dress to impress, you even have the chance of being named Goth Cruise Captain and First Mate.
Staff writer Jenny Payne spoke to WBAR's Natalie Robehmed, CC '13, about what to expect.
JP: What's happening at this year's WBAR Winter Formal?
NR: This year's Winter Formal is our third annual Winter Formal, and we've themed it Goth Cruise. Last year we had Goth Prom, and it was just a wonderful time.
You can get dressed up in formal wear, goth wear, or cruise wear, and come out and have a great time. We're going to have three acts.
Our opening band is called Household, who play really fun post-punk music. This is a very rare show for them because they rarely play live. Our second band is a really awesome band called Midnight Magic -- they play super danceable funk-infused disco and they're just a really fun band.
Our headliner is James Chance and the Contortions who are a really legendary no-wave punk group who were at the forefront of that movement in New York.
We're also going to name a Goth Cruise Captain and First Mate, like Prom King and Queen but not gendered, and also a photobooth where you can take pictures with your friends.
