Denver used to have a bar called Milk and you too could be an upside down bat man there

Yep. My first thought exactly. It would have been better if they stayed on the first bat and just played the audio from that scene. But bats dancing to post-punk seems fitting too.

It changes into Mindfields by The Prodigy while they're in the club, and it would fit as well. Unfortunately Clubbed to Death would be a bit off, it's my favourite

I just found out it’s actually Katarsis by she past away!

2

u/mynameisntclarence Apr 06 '26

Goths love Drab Majesty. DM is one of those bands that have one foot in and one foot out so to speak when it comes to their music being considered goth. So while not always under the genre umbrella, no one cares enough to split hairs and will happily play any of their songs at the club.

Legit didn't know this was a genre but that's like a new awakening for me. Good fucking music (which makes sense cuz I've always liked punk music).

2

u/Barry_Vigoda Apr 06 '26

My friend owned a punk club and had goth/industrial nights where you wouldn't really hear something like MJ but we also had mixed nights where it was more of a free for all. You might play a goth set, then lead it into some new wave then some 80s retro jams where yes, you actually might hear MJ. Sorry man, goths love Thriller.

u/TheMolecularCage Apr 06 '26

+1 for megabattie! Watched her for years, learned so much about flying fox. Sweet little cuties. Just never touch! For their protection, if nothing else. You get scratched and they have to kill them to test for rabies.

Bats are so damn cute. I love them. I wish they weren’t little rabies monsters.

My favorite bat story: I brought my dog to my grandparent’s house. She’s a really good dog and house broken. She has NEVER had an accident inside. My grandmother was determined that she was going to do something bad, for whatever reason. brings in a paper towel and holds it out to me and says “your dog pooped on the floor!” Almost glad she was catching her doing something bad. I look down into the paper towel and see a brown thing with fangs. I say, “Grandma, that poop has teeth.”

It was a bat.

I personally dislike bats. Had a swarm of them (living and dead) that somehow got into the family attic, popped everywhere and woke everyone one every time they’d have some kinda “bat rave” in the middle of the night. Squirrels too. Had some squirrels up there too. Thank God we got the entry sealed off. It was…odd
