Batcave 25th Anniversary USA tour
Joint statement from Specimen, Alien Sex Fiend & Deathrock Magazine:
"Due to unforeseen circumstances the planned 'The Batcave Returns' US Tour dates in June have had to be cancelled. We are very sorry but it is a situation that is totally beyond our control. We are all extremely disappointed, we have all tried our utmost to make this tour happen, but we find ourselves in an unworkable position due to immigration, transportation and other logistic and legal issues.

Electric Ballroom
'Electric Ballroom' is the most recent album by Specimen, released on Metropolis Records on June 19th 2007. The project spontaneously combusted out of an impromptu show in San Francisco in January 2006 by ex-band members under the name of 'Azoic'. The core of the album is based on the line up that performed at that show, featuring Jon Klein, Tim Huthert, Kimba, T.bias and Stephan X.
The record also includes tracks featuring Olli Wisdom and Jonny Slut. You can find 'Electric Ballroom' at:

Out of the cobwebbed past we have recently unearthed archive video footage of original Batcave shows in the UK and USA that you will have never been seen before! Some of which will appear on this site very soon, so keep a shadowed eye on us for this and other breaking news.
This year is the 25th anniversary of the Batcave and seems a fitting time for new and old friends and fiends to catch up in the dark!
