CLICK + DRAG 3.1/ THE SECOND COMING
SANTOS PARTY HOUSE
96 LAFAYETTE STREET NYC
"SURELY SOME REVELATION IS AT HAND" - W.B. Yeats, THE SECOND COMING, 1919
The pioneering "Cyber/Fetish/Gender-Hacking" party CLICK + DRAG, which ushered out the 20th Century in style and returned with a bang in 2008, held its second annual Future-Spectacle on October 17. Two of Click's founding producers - director and visual artist ROB ROTH and nightlife impresario CHI CHI VALENTI of THE JACKIE FACTORY staged this year's epic CLICK + DRAG 3.1/ THE SECOND COMING at sympatico venue SANTOS PARTY HOUSE. CLICK 3.1/ THE SECOND COMING was a two floor, evening-length epic, preserving the night's strict dress code and pansexual mix of fetishists, artists, gender-hackers and "Glam Nerds."
CLICK 3.1 was inspired by the W.B. YEATS poem THE SECOND COMING, and its themes of new gods for (often terrifying) new Ages, "Spiritus Mundi" or universal subconscious, and a post-Christian world. CLICK 3.1 celebrated gender-bending new prophets and prophetesses, and the neo-tribalism that borrows elements from a myriad of religions to create new believers and practices. CLICK + DRAG 3.1 featured multimedia works directed by Roth and installations and performances by dozens of collaborators.
CLICK 2009 highlights included trans icon and vocalist OUR LADY J, who presented GOSPEL FOR THE GODLESS with piano, choir and chadri design by GARO SPARO, gender-illuminati cabaret troupe THE PIXIE HARLOTS in THE SWITCHING HOUR, and Method Go-Go icons FALON, AMBER RAY and SEQUINETTE. The DJ roster included original Click (and SCISSOR SISTERS) DJ SAMMY JO, DJ JOHNNY DYNELL (who created the night's signature mixes for the clicknyc.com website and show) Darkwave DJs JOSH CHEON (SF) and JOHANNA CONSTANTINE, and electro DJ ANGELO.
Obituary.
listen here suno.com/s/a4kq6FrPxZM4madn
(Style: Gothic Rock / Darkwave)
(Soundscape: Dripping organ reverb, slow atmospheric bass, tolling church bell, weeping electric guitar)
(INTRO)
[A heavy cathedral bell tolls three times]
[Minor-key acoustic guitar arpeggios mix with a slow, thumping bassline]
(VERSE 1)
Eviscerated dreams lie in the cemetery dirt,
Cold, taskmaster eyes tallying up the hurt.
The private poems we cherished in the dark,
Burn away like embers, leaving no mark.
Disappointed faces frozen in the frost,
Where every ambition is tallied and lost.
(CHORUS)
Welcome to the obituary of light!
Pagan souls dancing in the eternal night!
Doctrinal madness and penetrating doubts,
Where shadows laugh as the flame goes out!
(VERSE 2)
A laughing philosopher in the crypt alone,
Chants religious lyrics over bleached white bone.
The vagabond painter, with hollowed-out eyes,
Traces corruptions beneath crimson skies.
The undertakers toil in the heavy black mud,
Drowning our passion in a river of blood.
(CHORUS)
Welcome to the obituary of light!
Pagan souls dancing in the eternal night!
Doctrinal madness and penetrating doubts,
Where shadows laugh as the flame goes out!
(BRIDGE)
[Music drops to a lone, reverberating organ and whispering vocals]
Spiritual warfare... in the coherent grave...
Not a single soul left to save.
Defeated plans... sinful symbols worn...
Incomprehensible punishments born.
[Gothic guitar solo swells, crying with heavy distortion]
(OUTRO)
Shovels keep digging...
The burning flesh fades...
Ignominious reports echoing down the arcades...
In the graveyard of memory...
We sleep.
[Final bell toll echo fades into static]
lyrics and music by Steve.D.Hammond.

Dystopia.
listen here suno.com/s/ywtxPAWAJa1xMApr
(Intro)
(Sparse, reverberating pipe organ slowly builds, cut by a heavy, pulsing darkwave synthesizer. A lone, weeping electric cello enters over a thunderous, slow industrial beat.)
(Verse 1)
Yelling voices through the gloom,
Trembling flesh awaits its doom.
Deaths foretold in bloody shade,
Where eternity is made!
Unguided tongues in evil mesh—
The serpent winds around the flesh.
A distant cloud of bloody rain,
We drown beneath the quiet pain!
(Pre-Chorus)
In blackest depths, the tales grow cold!
The vortex sweeps, the ice untold!
Inner storms awaken deep,
Where shattered souls forever weep!
(Chorus)
Beneath a black and heavy sky,
We watch the falling dust go by!
Demons spread their creeping blight,
Through caverns of the empty night!
Labyrinth thoughts where light has died—
Upon the icy bone we slide!
(Verse 2)
Poverty and pestilence,
Anxieties without defense!
The insect crawls, the woe remains,
Unformed laws in frozen chains.
The burning mountains split the snow,
Down where the hopeless spirits go!
Mortals weep, alone, denied,
Where terror and the abyss collide!
(Guitar & Synth Solo)
(A screeching, delayed gothic-rock guitar solo intertwines with a fast, arpeggiated synth line, echoing through deep reverb before dropping suddenly into an eerie bass groove.)
(Bridge)
(Drums drop out; low chimes ring beneath a shadowed, whispered vocal)
They labor in electric sand…
Vanity’s despair across the land…
They search for answers, search in vain,
No comfort found inside the pain…
(Guitars explosion back in; vocals shift to a soaring, dramatic cry)
Jealousy has torn the heart!
Resounding truths begin to fade!
The stretching flames and silence start—
Where all our trembling limbs are laid!
(Chorus)
Beneath a black and heavy sky,
We watch the falling dust go by!
Demons spread their creeping blight,
Through caverns of the empty night!
Labyrinth thoughts where light has died—
Upon the icy bone we slide!
(Outro)
(Tempo slows to a heavy, martial procession stride)
Oh, hardness of the justice done!
The lamentation has begun!
The punishment of sin, once swore—
To rest!
To rest…
For nevermore!
Steve.D.Hammond.
Watching The Watchers.
listen here. suno.com/s/JoYEwmEIs25Y4Tuc
(Style: Darkwave / Gothic Rock — Atmospheric Mellotron, driving drum machine, deep baritone vocals, swirling post-punk guitars, and heavy reverb)
[Intro]
(Eerie church organ swells, slow pulse-width synth bass, distant thunder, and a cold, ringing guitar arpeggio)
[Verse 1]
Behind cold lenses, famous eyes measure the dark
Philosophers of ruin, charting every mark
On serious benches, allegorical bailiffs stand
Screaming hammers crashing down by law's command
With authorized tales and narrated deceit
They judge the destitute upon the formal seat
[Pre-Chorus]
Through evil dark nights, where the silent rats lurk
Unalterable voices perform their dismal work
Pointing accusing fingers through the creeping mist
Leaving horrible stains no reflection can resist
[Chorus]
Who watches the watchers when the shadows grow tall?
Who hears the hammers crashing through the hollow hall?
Dishonored occasions ring with bitter, hollow cheer—
Where pride masks the madness and the rising fear!
[Verse 2]
The storms condense in skies of pitch and dread
Where sulfurous blood runs black among the dead
Mortal souls weeping burning, deadly tears
Bound in jealousy’s wars through forgotten years
Dark contemplations choke in sulfurous smoke
Beneath the heavy burden of the watcher's yoke
[Chorus]
Who watches the watchers when the shadows grow tall?
Who hears the hammers crashing through the hollow hall?
Dishonored occasions ring with bitter, hollow cheer—
Where pride masks the madness and the rising fear!
[Bridge]
(Music drops to a thudding bassline, ominous whispers, and slow cathedral bells)
Upon raging mountains where ruinous fragments lie
Laboring wombs give birth beneath a dying sky
Eternal fires burn with black, anguished strain
From gnashing, groaning tongues crying out in pain!
lyrics and music by Steve.D.Hammond.
Transylvania.
Listen here suno.com/s/H4tXvLvcGe3ya12P
(Tempo: Slow, haunting • Style: Darkwave / Gothic Rock)
(Intro)
(Heavy pipe organ echoing, accompanied by a slow, driving bassline and a distant, howling wind)
(Verse 1)
In the secluded valleys where the fog never leaves
Ancient mountains swallow all the secrets of the trees
Abandoned castles crumble into cold, forgotten clay
Dilapidated faces watch the last of daylight fade
Sprouting chimneys shadow every grave upon the hill
Undisturbed, the ghosts begin to stir against their will
(Chorus)
Listen to the forlorn graveyard calling out your name
Straggling guests who wander close will never leave the same
In the icy mists of Transylvania tonight
Underneath the flickering of a madman's light
Drink the metallic cup, let the shadow take your soul
Where the nightmare twists and the body loses control
(Verse 2)
Through the iron chapel gates, the dangerous squires stand
Piercing black eyes cutting deep across the frozen land
Irreconcilable tongues spouting curses long forgot
Blazing hearts turn cold as stone inside this rot
Old injuries awaken, brows furrow in the gloom
Cancelled reservations only lead you to a tomb
(Chorus)
Listen to the forlorn graveyard calling out your name
Straggling guests who wander close will never leave the same
In the icy mists of Transylvania tonight
Underneath the flickering of a madman's light
Drink the metallic cup, let the shadow take your soul
Where the nightmare twists and the body loses control
(Bridge)
(Drums drop out, leaving only an echoing synth pad and low chimes)
Uneasy turns... unpleasant smells upon the air...
Screams shatter midnight, giving way to dark despair.
The laws of the living break beneath the blood-red moon,
The feast is starting early, the wine is pouring soon...
(Guitar/Organ Solo)
(Aggressive, minor-key gothic guitar riff melded with frantic cathedral organ)
(Verse 3)
Festive vampires smile as the drunkenness takes hold
Raw meats and bitter wine served bitter, dark, and cold
Phantoms cry out in the shadows, locked within their cell
A nightmare feast that binds you to this velvet hell
(Outro)
Thirst for blood, thirst for bone...
You’ll never leave these crypts alone.
(Echoing vocal fading out into low organ chords)
Transylvania calls... night falls... night falls...
lyrics and music by Steve.D.Hammond.

My favorite Banana's from sankichi miyoshi <3
Their journey, they saw, had never been about wealth or dominion. These were illusions, skins shed in the tide of existence. What endured was the more profound call, the pursuit of meaning that only life's raw, unadorned connections could offer. Success was transient. Their connection was eternal.
Finally! I'm thrilled to introduce the revolutionary 'InstaFX'

A hypnotic set by Johnny Jewel (Desire / Chromatics) at the Botanique in Brussels.
The performance felt less like a standard concert and more like a live film score, blending the signature icy synth-pop of Italians Do It Better with massive cinematic visuals.
Ash Code is a post punk band from Italy.
They played in London last week end (02-Mar-2024)
I shot the roll at 6400 and processed at 3200, in order to compensate for the M6 average metering which I think is fooled by big areas of the scenes being dark.
