Dayton bars showing their dark sides this December
If you’re already sick of the Christmas music that’s been playing non-stop since Halloween, if tree lightings and craft bazaars just aren’t your thing, if you’re looking for something a bit dirtier to do this December, you’re going to love this weekend’s lineup of local events.
As the temperature drops, Dayton clubs are getting a bit dark. Some are even letting their freak flag fly, and you’re invited to do the same.
Repent at Aquarius
Fans of the Night of Syn that’s been a Friday night staple at Club Vex for the past few years won’t want to miss the newest industrial night incarnation hosted by resident DJs, Matt Freeman and Infidel-icious. REPENT will kick off Friday in the newly remodeled upstairs at Aquarius.
The music, with opening night guest DJs, Sideshow and TC, will be a familiar mix of Industrial, Goth, EBM and ’80s Wave.
A new addition is a private fetish room hosted by Sisters of the Sacred Flesh and local alternative model/performer Rocky Doll.
The Sisters are a fetish performance troupe. Check out their diverse interests at sistersofthesacredflesh.com.
Where: Club Aquarius 2nd Floor, 135 E. 2nd St., Dayton
When: Doors open at 9 p.m. Friday, Dec. 2
The bite: No cover before 11 p.m., then $5 for those 18 to 20 and $3 for 21 and older
Gem City Festival of the Fallen
Metal is the word at this show organized by Bloody Knuckles Entertainment, local promoters trying to give the metal scene in Dayton a boost. Six bands for $7. Live performances by Side Show, Steel Capped Hooligans, Imbroglio, Architects of Doom, Zuel, and Forces of Nature.

All About the Money Party
Being a gold digger will be an advantage at this theme party. Guys will be given fake money upon arrival and it’s up to the ladies to try and snag as much as they can before the end of the night. The female with the most fake cash will win a prize. It would appear there are no rules regarding how to make the cash, so use your imagination ladies. (But let’s keep it legal!)
DJ Tony Desaro will kick things off with an electronic set until midnight.
Where: Vex, 101 S. St. Clair St., Dayton
When: 10 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 3
The bite: Cover charge at Vex is typically $3 for ages 18-20 and $5 for 21 and older.

The bars located in City of Dayton are a great place to get shot or stabbed. Or maybe just a severe beating. For some people, this adds to the evening’s excitement, but not me.

Bars in Dayton are always an exciting mix of booze, guns, knives, drugs and criminals.
