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.
