Okay, either you saw the cards and had a little overdramatic panic, or you know what weโ€™re doing, here.

If youโ€™ve spent any time on Hope Street, though, weโ€™re pretty sure youโ€™re in the latter camp.

You know the only thing weโ€™re worshipping is a good bassline, the company of the people around us, and MAYBE Gerard Way. Maybe.๐Ÿ˜‰

Whether youโ€™re a true believer or just here for the novelty, thereโ€™s something undeniably human about sitting across from a stranger and unpacking the chaos of your life for an hour.

Spirituality aside, itโ€™s an internal conversation facilitated through a deck of cards, and having someone else guide the process? Thatโ€™s just therapy with better aesthetics.๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

Plus, if your only experience with the game is watching a movie, you donโ€™t have to stress. We have zero time for pool elitism here.

โ€‹The Black Parade is extending its route, and weโ€™re officially calling it Feedback.

โ€‹Itโ€™s been a long road from those first shaky nights during the pandemic to where we are now. has evolved from a local obsession into a full-blown national movement.

โ€‹Whether youโ€™ve been here since the beginning or youโ€™re just now realising that your teenage angst never actually left, consider this an open invite. ๐Ÿค˜

If someone hits the floor, you pick them up. If someone looks uncomfortable, you back off. Moshing is an opt-in sport, not a contact requirement.

โ€‹The Black Parade isnโ€™t just for the young men whose fathers took them into the city.

Itโ€™s for every one of you who found solace in the static, the lyrics, and the shared, slightly dramatic experience of being an outsider.

โ€‹If you judge a book by its cover, you probably see a wall of studs, chains, and enough leather to make a hardware store blush.

โ€‹But get a little closer and youโ€™ll realise those chains are just for show. Or, if they are for more than show, they only come out if you ask really, really nicely. โ›“๏ธโ€๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ˜‡

That spirit didn't die when the safety pins went out of fashion (which was never); it just evolved.

Whether you are a goth, a club kid, or a straight-up freak, you are here because you refuse to be told how to live.

โ€‹We love that for you.

โ€‹We know the labels matter. The fashion matters. The music matters. But everyone who collects on Hope Street shares the same rebellious heartbeat: I will do what I want to do.

โ€‹That is the spirit. It is a community built on the radical idea that love isn't about fitting into a box, but about creating your own. ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Some things arenโ€™t meant to be explained. Theyโ€™re meant to be felt in the chest and seen through closed eyes.

We love our emo hole (yes, we said it), but for a night, we drifted into something a bit moreโ€ฆ cerebral.

Unknown Essence arrived as a foray into the trance-heavy, dream-state abyss that we had been keeping under wraps.

It manifested as a surrealist experiment, which sounds foo foo, but worked out to be a dreamy escape from the usual black-clad comfort zones we love a little too much.

We handed the keys over to .cpt and to curate the experience, and that meant we got to shift into an alternate reality.

The walls at 69 Hope Street felt a little thinner, the bass a little more liquid, and the atmosphere entirely otherworldly. And we do not use that word lightly.

If youโ€™ve ever been to EVOL, one thing is very clear: WE ARE WHO WE ARE!

Heels, wigs, lashes, leather, they all belong to all of us, so weโ€™re quite used to seeing people explore themselves week after week. Fashion is a way of life, it's an expression in the most basic sense, and itโ€™s something we appreciate every time we see something new walk up the stairs.

These are the attendees who let cosplay and costume-play seep into their lives, rocking fangs, robes, scarves, and trinkets that could put the swamp witches to shame.

If thatโ€™s your scene, check out .ravens.claw for that hot little blend of witchy and nerdy.

Of course, if your aesthetic leans more toward the erotic-vampire-goth-mommy aesthetic, you might want something a little more strapped and sleek.

In that case, is a great local, q***r-owned, veeeery q***r-friendly vendor with a really unique collection of harnesses and bo***ge gear. ๐Ÿ˜Œ

Finally, weโ€™d feel like we left someone out if we didnโ€™t mention .co.za and their collection of rainbow everything, but you donโ€™t need a rainbow to feel the EVOL.

If you want the magic, you have to pay your respects to the gatekeepers first. ๐Ÿ’‹

Getting into EVOL is a bit of a ritual. You donโ€™t just walk in from the street like a normal person. You have to navigate Stags first. ๐Ÿป

Itโ€™s a legendary nod to the London original, filled with dark wood, history, and some of the most anachronistically friendly barflies youโ€™ll ever meet.

Theyโ€™re like the worldโ€™s most accepting gargoyles, watching over the entrance with a pint in hand and a nod for every EVOLdoer that passes through. ๐Ÿ˜‡

Itโ€™s the perfect camouflage. One minute youโ€™re in a classic Cape Town locale surrounded by salt of the earth regulars, and the next youโ€™re slipping through the secret entrance into our sanctuary of noise and neon. โšก๏ธ

We love the contrast. There is something delicious about knowing that while the rest of the world thinks itโ€™s just a quiet night at the pub, weโ€™re upstairs causing a scene. ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Human rights are for everybody, but the music usually starts with the ones on the outside looking in.

Every great struggle for freedom has a soundtrack that sounds a bit like a riot. While the world tries to keep things generic and predictable, the alternative scene has always been there to carve out a space for the rest of us.

We know that a lot of you who climb the stairs at EVOL relate to that particular grind. You know what it feels like to fight for a corner of the world where you donโ€™t have to explain yourself.

Today, we are taking a second to be thankful for the music that gave us a voice before we even knew how to use it. We are thankful for the evoldoers, and the beautiful outsiders who have turned Hope Street into a sanctuary for years. ๐Ÿ–ค

Human rights mean the right to exist exactly as you are, whether that involves fishnets, leather, or just a very loud opinion about Psych Rock.
