Zombies vs Steampunk Dance Party (in Auckland)

By Augur. 15/08/11, 10:56 am

Hey everyone,

I just thought this might be something that Auckland Cosplayers might be interested in coming along to, dressed either as steampunks or zombies. It should be a really fun night. The Wellingtonian steampunk rock band "Alex The Kid" are coming to Auckland for a steampunk dance party quite unlike anything you have seen before! Zombies vs Steampunk will have Alex The Kid as the headline act, supported by steampunk and zombie styled DJs to keep the party going.

During the event, Alex The Kid will be filming the music-video for their upcoming album which features zombies and steampunk, so come along dressed either in your steampunk gear or as a zombie and be prepared for a little impromptu acting in-character as well. (I guess Michael Jackson showed us that zombies can dance, they don't have to be all stiff-limbed and slow).

This event has not yet been finalized, and the details are being thrashed out on Facebook, as we have yet to book a venue and confirm a date, but it is expected to be sometime around the 9th or 10th of September, so please get involved and help make this event something special!

The music-video of the single "Future" by Alex The Kid was shot during a similar dance party in Oamaru. Check it out on YouTube. The time-traveller who disappears at the end of this video is Agent Darling of the League of Victorian Imagineers (Oamaru), who came up to Auckland for Aether & Iron. Dave Thompson of Alex The Kid was also at Aether & Iron.

Augur.

^ This sounds epic!!

I'll have to have a quick costume change after pokemon photoshoot.

What time does this start? Late im guessing.
And does it cost to buy tickets or at the door? Or do we just turn up?
And also is it 18+? since it sounds a little like a clubbing type thing.

Sorry so many questions. I definately want to be there!

Hi brunetteyes, sorry for the delay, but I have the answers to your questions now, straight from the band themselves...

"I'm just confirming times at the moment, but roughly doors will open around 8pm and music dj's and bands from 9pm -12am"

brunetteyes wrote:: And does it cost to buy tickets or at the door? Or do we just turn up?

"I was thinking maybe a $10 door charge but maybe we could make it $5 if you come dressed up (we just have to cover some of our flight costs and venue hire)."

brunetteyes wrote:: And also is it 18+? since it sounds a little like a clubbing type thing.

"yes at this stage it will be 18+ (it costs lots more to make it all ages and we have to pay for security)."

Hope that helps. Looking forward to an awesome event!
