Diurnal creature that you are, you might not have noticed that Denver has a thriving Goth/Darkwave scene - has for years, really. But then, that's why you flip to this page first thing every Friday, so we can fill you in on stuff that happens while you're asleep. (P.S.: Your neighbors are bizarre.) And good thing that you do; had you not turned to us, you might have missed the slithery, stomping Goth club rock of Die Brucke. Not to mention the chilling tale of their recent weekend activities.

* What did you do last weekend?

"Lately we've been working on live versions of some new songs that will be included on the album due out this fall or winter. We have incorporated several of these songs into recent live performances and have settled on a final form for these tracks (until we change them again!). A secon d keyboardist has been added to the live lineup, because while the chemistry on stage is good with either of our two keyboardists, it's twice as good with both of them. Other than that, we've been hanging out with friends and fans at The Shelter on weekends and generally just goofing off and having a good time. You know, anything to keep us from thinking about our day jobs!"

What do you have going on this weekend?

"On Saturday, we'll be tearing it up at The Falcon with The New Waveforms and Simple Shelter. We've been organizing teams for a little bowling action before the show, so if you think you're bad enough, come down and see if you can beat us. If you make us cry, we'll give you a Die Brucke shirt. On May 25, we'll be representing Denver as the local headliner at the Colorado Dark Arts Festival at The Church. In preparation for these outings, we've been streamlining our stage rig and adding some new music to the set. We hope to see you at one of our shows in the near future, and keep in mind that shots of Jägermeister are always welcome!"

Saturday's show starts at 9 p.m., $8 cover, 16 and over. The Falcon is 3295 S. Broadway, next to the Gothic Theatre. They encourage you to come early and challenge them on The Falcon's lanes. Visit Die Brucke online at DieBrucke.net and myspace.com/entartetemusik.

    I've been to every Die Brucke show to date and each one is better than the last. They are fresh, original and have an energy that reaches out and envelopes you. Their sound is part goth, part industrial, part rock and roll, all bridged together to create something really special. A sound and vibe that sets them apart from so many other bands of similar genre. They are not an act you want to miss! They take you on an incredible journey and definitely leave you wanting more.
