It started with a conversation between me, Shade Balderose, and Jami Morgan from the band Code Orange. The idea was simple but intense: a fully immersive, sweat-drenched, industrial-goth-techno-freakshow. We called it BLOODRAVE. (Unfortunately, no — they wouldn’t let us spray blood all over everyone. Plus, AppleCare doesn’t cover blood-damaged laptops.) Read more
