Brickbat Mansion: A Night of Dark Danse

Founded in 2008, Brickbat Mansion is a long-running Portland club night focused on the swirly/dreamy side of goth music. Known for its “swirly songs for Goths and Gazers,” the night explores the intersection of shoegaze, ethereal, goth, darkwave, post-punk, and dream pop, with a particular affection for Cocteau Twins and similar artists.

Expect a mix of atmospheric dance tracks, deep cuts, and special live performances that drift between the dancefloor and the more heavenly corners where goth, darkwave, and shoegaze meet.

Special live performances by:
