The Black Ice started off in 1989 as a 'zine' publication compiling the work of artists local to southern California. It later became an on-line mailing list, and in 1990 we pooled all our pocket change to set up shop at our current location. As of this year, Black Ice has been bringing the best of goth, post-punk, industrial, no-wave, electronic, aggro-tech, ebm, experimental, avant-garde, metal, and more straight to you for ten years straight.

The membership fee is $5 a month, and becoming a member requires a sponsorship from an existing member. However, if you don't know any members, you are still welcome most nights as long as you follow the dress code and don't cause a scene :-). Read more about memberships on the "members" page.
