Name: Bite Me! Friday June 12, 2026
Start: 2026-06-12T18:00:00-07:00
End: 2026-06-13T01:30:00-07:00
Location: The Catalyst Club

Somewhere between a dinner party, a séance, and one of the better poor decisions you are likely to make all month, you will find Bite Me at Cat Alley Street, upstairs above the Catalyst Club in downtown Santa Cruz.
Beginning this June, Bite Me moves to the Second Friday of every month.
Our next gathering takes place Friday, June 12th, 2026.
This evening is also in celebration of Pride Month. A night for outsiders, romantics, night creatures, artists, dancers, and the sort of people who always seem to know where the interesting party is happening.
Music for the evening will be provided by Regal Nonchalant, Mr. White, Sina Star, SamSonic, and Vampi Hurtado.
We are delighted to welcome Regal Nonchalant live from Bend, Oregon, where they have helped cultivate a thriving dark music community through Katacombs, one of the region’s notable goth gatherings. Beyond the music itself, the communication, enthusiasm, and spirit around this collaboration have been an absolute pleasure from the beginning.
We are especially pleased to welcome Mr. White and Sina Star, not only remarkable DJs, but dear members of the community whose presence has brightened many long nights over the years.
Vampi, our headliner, is a trans multidisciplinary artist and DIY community organizer whose work bridges underground cultures. She is the host of Batcave SF and Enzyme, and has toured projects and performances throughout the US, Latin America, and Europe. Her current SFAC-sponsored project examines QTBIPOC nightlife through an ecological lens, focusing on the rewilding of neglected urban spaces.

More information:
The evening begins in a civilized fashion and gradually descends into something far more interesting. There will be dark music, strange beauty, conversation, dancing, artists, curious objects, complimentary pizza, and the occasional handsome disaster.
Time moves differently here. Midnight arrives dressed in velvet and poor judgment. Someone is always arriving just as someone else should probably be leaving.
Dress beautifully, dress comfortably, or arrive exactly as you are.
We are not the authorities.
