A night of discovery and dark delight, Baby Bat Night kicks off Convergence 27 with high-energy performances and a space to welcome new faces into the scene. This all-ages-friendly evening celebrates the next generation of goth, industrial, and darkwave lovers, featuring a stacked lineup of live bands and alternating DJ sets across multiple rooms.

Danny Blu is a dark electro-pop act based in New York City. An electrifying, hybrid powerhouse, he bridges the sounds of industrial and pop through “infectious hooks” and serves up an expansive pop exhibition of fashion, video, and art.

Dubbed as the “industrial pop idol” and featured on Billboard, Alternative Press, The Huffington Post, NewNowNext amongst many others; Danny Blu began his career with stunning shock-rock performances in queer nightlife leading to the formation of the band, Echo Black. After an album and several North American tours, Blu debuted his first solo single, “Bubble”, on Billboard Pride.

The release of his first EP, “The Pale Horse” would storm the scene with provocative sex-positive singles & music videos and livestream shows throughout 2020. Enlisting the talents of producers MORIS BLAK and Walter Kazmier with the release of his sophomore EP, “MOLOTOV” on SHVDOW Records, Danny Blu solidified himself as “a force to be reckoned with”. In 2023, Blu embarked on his first co-headline tour with MORIS BLAK on “The American Dream Tour” — astonishing audiences nationwide.

Multi-disciplinary artist and performer, Jacquelyn Dady, better known as Nyxx, is a visionary goth pop-star on the rise. Just as the mythology, she is the subduer of men, shrouded in a crown of darkness; igniting power, strength and femininity through haunting lyrics and mesmerizing hooks.

Originating as a frontwoman for a pop-punk band in high school; she would become the tour de force as Nyxx with the single “Wicked” in 2013. However, the one-woman machine of today would be seen with the EP “Nightmare” in 2016. Producing the songs in her bedroom at her Los Angeles apartment, the lead single “Nightmare” would become a capitulating underground pop hit. Her self-directed and self-edited music video for “Nightmare” then garnered over 1 million views in its first year alone, with over 6 million views to date. The following year, NYXX supported Aesthetic Perfection on a 17-date North American tour, solidifying herself as an artist to watch. In 2018 she collaborated with Aesthetic Perfection once again on the track, “Voodoo”, cultivating yet another hit in her catalog.

After a long hiatus, Nyxx returned in 2023 with the dream-pop single, “hearse” and the hard hitting “FERAL” with MORIS BLAK. Her long awaited EP drops with SHVDOW Records this Fall.

Lorelei Dreaming is the brainchild of Lorelei to bring theatrical electronic music to the stage. Their live performances are a multi-media experience of expressive lighting effects, Lorelei’s engaging stage presence, and of course the music. Themes within the songs are often about journeys and transformation, stories of hope, and sometimes darkness.

Having shared the stage with powerhouses such as The Birthday Massacre, Stabbing Westward, Solar Fake, Covenant, Bootblacks, and KITE, Lorelei Dreaming has truly made a name for themselves in the goth industrial / dark dance scene. They have several festival appearances including Dark Side of the Con and Wilmington Goth Fest.

After releasing the album Future Fables through Distortion Productions in 2021, a dark electronic opus that will appeal to the dancefloor of the goth clubs that the band frequently plays, they are excited to announce a new original song was released this May 2nd, 2025 on the Saviors VII compilation album. 

The Necro Files is a collaborative project of musicians from across the shared Necroverse of bands that collaborate on recorded and live music.

The project has a rotating lineup for live performances, with the Convergence 27 lineup consisting of ADAM 0 (Necro Corp), Rivet D. Rivet (Necro Corp, Necro Construct), and Xanthus (Construct 0, Necro Construct).
