They'll definitely be listing more bands...as soon as the bands are confirmed. Yeah, the bands lineup was pretty cool last year.The Fallen wrote:They need more bands, last year was the bomb with Abney Prk and Ego Likeness. Hopefully I can have enough money to get down there and have fun as well.
I miss GWAR being there though! Well, except for the time I accidentally saw Sleazy changing...wow. Talk about scarred!
I wish they'd have some horror type related bands....like Wednesday 13 or something.

Hey guys,
The 2007 Dragon*Con band line-up has now been expanded to include:
The Cruxshadows
Voltaire (with full band!)
The Last Dance
Bella Morte
Calabrese (some cool horror-punk, as requested)
Stolen Babies
I'm feeling a very good year coming on. If you guys make it down, be sure to visit the Gothic Shadows Programming Track. We'll be doing some new panels this year on things like Horror Rock and Goth in the Media, as well as old favorites like Lovecraft, Vampirism, Poe, and several chances to meet the bands.
In fact, you can visit the Event Page for the Goth Track HERE.
Thanks,
Ichabod

Re: Dragon Con 2007
The Pocket Program was put up yesterday!
I've begun my yearly ritual of schedule making
I must say, compared to last year...there are TONS of great panels to attend! It's going to be so hard to choose between so many that are happening at the exact same time.
Anyone else that attends Dragon Con regularly have any rituals?
I have to print out the schedule, go through it and find which panels interest me. Then I narrow down which ones at which times..and create a humongous master schedule...that we never follow. lol. But it's a big part of our dragon con routine, so I have to do it.
The Gothic Shadows track alone has some pretty awesome panels going on!
