What can one expect from a man named Xris SMack! who capitalizes both the S
and M in his surname and ends his name with an exclamation point? Through his
SMack! series and Stimulate series, this leather-clad and blue-haired entrepreneur since 1996 has been merging New York
City's fetish community with the gothic rock scene at monthly parties at
several venues. His SMack! events have become fetish play parties and his
Stimulate events feature live performances by musicians in the industrial,
electro and horror rock genres.
SMack! celebrated his ninth anniversary
as an event promoter over two Friday nights at
Dröm. The September 1 event hosted concerts by
God Module,
Blakk Glass,
new band
Midnight Myth (featuring
Scott Denman of
Die Sektor) and producer
Visions
in Black. The second part of the anniversary celebration was on September 8,
with
Aurelio Voltaire performing a
solo acoustic set,
Bella Morte and
Noir (featuring
Athan Maroulis
of underground bands
Spahn Ranch and
Black Tape for a Blue Girl).
