Switchblade Symphony
Gothapalooza came to Philadelphia on August 11th, 1996. Gothic legends Christian
Death headlined the bill, bringing with them Switchblade Symphony and Australian
rockers Big Electric Cat. Apocalypse Theatre and Bleeding Stone were
scheduled to perform; both had mishaps within 48 hours of show time which made it impossible
for them to get to Philly. Thus, a stripped-down Sofia Run performed an acoustic
set, with Sunday Grey opening the bill. The show was a great success.
