THIS HALLOWEEN 2009 IN NYC!
For over a decade, MASKARAVE was THE premire Halloween event to attend.
Here's the history:
#1.
Oct 30, 1992: Held at the original Sound Factory space (now Twilo, now closed), MASKARAVE™ was put together by SCOTTO, MOBY, DB,and Marcy Weber (MOBY's manager) and was the first NASA concert production outside of the Shelter. It featured the original NASA Dj roster, DB, Ani, Jason Jinx, Mr.Kleen, and SoulSlinger with live performances by ALTERN 8 from ENGLAND and MOBY. over 3200 attended this CMJ event in the pouring down rain.
# 2.
Oct 30, 1993: It was held at the New York Coliseum ( now torn down) where we not only sold out the room - but No one had that kind of attendance at the Coliseum since the WHO played there in 1977! MASKARAVE Featured our official launch of the NASA U.S. tour "See the Light" with live shows from MOBY, APHEX TWIN, ORBITAL, and VAPOURSPACE and DJ's Josh Wink, D'mitry of Dee-lite, Adam X, Heather Heart, Mark Spoon, Dj Tim of the Utah Saints, and the NASA Dj's rounding it off. Of course, like #1, it rained like cats ad dogs.

Oct. 27, 1995: Sold out concert at the legendary PALLADIUM - over 5500 people - featuring 1.8.7.and the original Ready To Rock Breakdancers, the Funky Tekno Tribe ( DJ DAN, Grahm, Barry Weaver) Frankie Bones, David Hollands (1st NYC gig), the talented Randall Jones, Trace and ODI. Tihs has got to be one of my favorite places, too bad it's been torn down to make NYU dorms called, "PALLADUIM HALL". Can you believe it? What a beautiful landmark the PALLADUIM was!
