DJ Vashtar

The House of Bards has been so generous in allowing me one night a month to put on my dark dance party since April. I have this November's show and perhaps one more in December before they assess whether or not they want to continue hosting my event. I hope you can all make it out next month and support dark, electronic music in Tucson. Thank you and have a dark, scary Halloween.

I so fell in love with my own show. I hope you can take some time to listen to it on MixCloud. Of the 20+ shows I have performed this is absolutely one of my favorites. You don't have to join MixCloud to listen, by the way. Thank you.

Ceremonial by Vashtar X Show performed on October 10, 2024 at House of Bards in Tucson. This show is one of my favorites, mostly for the 24 songs I put in that were released this year. Two more shows from last year will be posted soon. Ceremonial is my contribution to the Tucson, Arizona area's effort to revive its dark mu...

A very profound thank you to everybody who came out last night for Ceremonial. I will post the event for Halloween this weekend. House of Bards will feature a band and a costume contest and special drinks. I am pushing hard for Absynthe! After the band finishes there will be a dark and spooky DJ set by Vashtar. Come for the entire night or after the kids are down from their sugar crash (!). It stands to be an excellent Halloween night.

I hope you will all make it to my show tomorrow night. I am looking forward to making House of Bards the spot on the east side for a show of this kind. Thank you, in advance, for your support.

I was able to post my show from last summer. Yeah, well, it took a little over a year! I hope you can check it out. My show that is coming this Thursday on October 10th will be my next show to get up on MixCloud. I am dying to post some of my favorite songs from 2024, which be played this week at House of Bards and hopefully up next weekend on the internet. I hope to see you Thursday and in the meantime, please visit MixCloud and check out some of my shows. Thank you.

Ceremonial by Vashtar VII Show performed on July 6, 2023 at Chicago Bar in Tucson. Ceremonial is my contribution to the Tucson, Arizona area's effort to revive its dark music scene.

So, in case I didn't tell you. Aesthetic Perfection on the 14th was one of the best shows I saw all year. Please support Daniel and buy his new album. I bought the CD after the show and have played it 20 times. In my top ten albums of the year. No question about it. Thank you.

Here is my choice for the week. Well, really, last week. I will be featuring it in my October 10th show along with other aggro/industrial songs and usual cast of futurepop, darkwave, dark electro and a very special 80s set. Thank you for supporting new music.

I hope you can all come out my show tomorrow night at House of Bards. It is going to be an excellent night of dark music and dancing. Thank you.

Coming up on Ceremonial by Vashtar, September 12, 2024-this coming Thursday! In the meantime, this was my favorite song of the summer. I do my best to include a Faderhead song in each of my shows. I will be playing this one in October. Please come and dance on the second Thursday of the month....

Thank you for thinking about my show and I hope you can attend, even if just for a little while. I will be featuring new and older dark and electronic music as per our usual arrangement. See you in September.

Unveiling new music at Ceremonial by Vashtar has been postponed until August 8th, 2024. Please make a note of the new date and plan to attend to experience new and older dark dance songs and a certain number of surprises and old favorites. Thank you.

I am looking forward to the May 9th Ceremonial. Per our agreement dark dance and new electronic music will be featured. I am pleased that I will get to see you all again. Thank you.

With House of Bards – I just got recognized as one of their top fans! 🎉

Thank you to everybody who came out to the new location for Ceremonial by Vashtar, last week, at House of Bards. The venue is perfect for this celebration and the sound was so much better than I could have hoped for. I have four shows already planned for the next several months and I am promised this spot until at least December. Come and support this ritual on May 9th. Thank you ALL again for such beautiful support...

I hope you all can take out an hour or two of your Thursday night and join me in my first show at House of Bards tonight. Thank you.

I am looking forward to performing some of my favorite new songs from 2023 at the April 11th show. Please come and experience so many of the best songs and artists creating this music. In addition, and as always, older songs and multiple genres will be featured. I believe what I have planned for you will satisfy your need for excellent dark dancing music. Thank you.

Ceremonial by Vashtar took a one month hiatus to find a new venue. The Ceremony will be at House of Bards (also on Speedway Boulevard) on the second Thursday of the month. That means in less than two weeks, on April 11th, the darkness will resume. I hope you can come and support this electronic music night, even if it's only for an hour or so. I will post the event so look for it. And thank you SO much.

February's Ceremonial will occur on the very first day of the month, which IS the first Thursday. It will be an extremely special and I hope you can come out and see us...

Ceremonial begins 2024 this Thursday, on January 4th. Please come and attend for a night of dark, industrial and electronic music. Thank you.

If you are able to make it out Thursday night and support Ceremonial it would be very much appreciated. DJ Necro Synthetik is taking the reigns of the show and I will be providing a 90-minute opening set. We really hope you will come out, even for just a little while and support dark music in Tucson. Thank you.

I am so grateful to each and every person who has supported Ceremonial by Vashtar over the past year. A year... So much has gone into putting these events together and bringing so much new music to you all. Thank you forever. Hope to see you soon....

I know this is belated but everybody who came and supported Ceremonial by Vashtar a week ago; a thousand thank yous. It meant so much to have so many of you there. I will keep you posted about the December 7th show...
