Gotham Nights was conceived in February 1995, by the help of Stefan Rosell and Atle Boysen. They were both missing a place where they could go out and listen to their favorite music, namely Gothic Rock (TM). They realized that the only way to get their wishes fulfilled was to create a club on their own, and so they did. Thus Gotham Nights was born. The “baptizing” was held on the 16th of February 1995, and was suitably called The Awakening. It was meant as a one time thing, but all the positive feedback they got from the substantial crowd that attended, made them reconsider. They decided to try to have an event once a month, and so it came to be, and still is, so many years later.
