VENUES:

Lizard Lounge – The ChURcH
BRISKET & BINGO [Thursday - Pre-Party]
THE GUVNAH’S COMING OUT BALL [Sunday]
Being the mainstay of the “goth-industrial” club scene in Dallas, The ChURcH was born from glamorous beginnings and has a very rich history. The building itself was originally a trolley car repair station (1899), then a fire station, then transformed into a dinner theatre (1950’s), which lends to the layout of separate rooms, and later utilized as a cabaret (1980’s). The lavishly rich décor speaks to the intent of providing a distinguished and elegant venue for our enjoyment. The creator of The ChURcH was a partner in the famous Starck club of the late 80’s (as visited by Michael Alig and company for recruitment into the club-kid scene in the early 90’s) and The ChURcH was a small event at the Starck club. As interest and numbers grew, the Lizard Lounge was procured and The ChURcH officially opened its doors to Sunday night services in July 1994. In February 1995, the PTL Club commenced on Thursday evenings. Now, twelve years later, both events are strong with 500-1000 attendees on any given night.
