We haven't updated this page in a few months and it is about time we let everyone in on what's going now and some future happenings.  Before we get to that we would like to thank a good band friend and a big supporter of the Coven, Leighann.  She was even nice enough to start a MySpace group for us which you can check out here.  Thank you Leighann, we love you!

For now we are still checking out new bass players which is going very well.  We have two more shows scheduled for this year and are looking forward to a very busy 2006.  The fuel prices are going down which is really cool because it means more beer for the band!  The Coven will be even more energetic in 2006 and there are several surprises which we plan on unveiling when the time is right.  So stayed tuned you won't be disappointed!

What can we say? Coven of 13 intensely enjoyed performing at the SkyBar for Dark Sky Productions. As always, Anders organizes a professional, fun, well thought out yet eerily morbid show (the Coven’s type of gathering). The sound was fabulous. Thank you to our friends that supported the show. We were entranced by the patrons arriving in fellow Gothic garb. Optic Rose entertained with a lucid theatrical captivating style. Forevers’ Fallen Grace put on tremendously tight show. Last but never least, thank you Joni for your photographic skills and energy.

Coven of 13 was honored to play our music at Jamm’s (Jessica’s) Sweet 16 party. What a fantastic time! Come to find out, her brother’s band “The Auburn Effect” is going on tour. Also, the birthday girl is a singer in Rock Bottom. Watch out for them! Coven of 13 will happily be booking shows with this intense group. Thank you and Happy Birthday Jamm!

We had the experience of entertaining at the Bomb Shelter in Manchester, NH. Coven of 13 enjoyed the mill/warehouse sounds and effect. Put a new spin on our music. Thank you Tara from Orrthannan Productions for promoting the show. Thanks to all that came and another moment of gratitude for our friends Blackout Frenzy.

Coven of 13 had the pleasure of entertaining at Milly’s Tavern again. Great atmosphere and they make their own beer. This line up was energy-filled. Thank you to Forevers’ Fallen Grace for setting up the show, all who came and also to Barbara for performing her photographic services that evening.

7.23.2005
Coven of 13 proceeded to rock the foundation at KC’s Tap in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. A special thanks to everyone who came out to see us! KC’s has a fantastic sound person/system, stage and ambience. Nina from BB Entertainment collaborated this 5-band evening which culminated into a head-banging, moshing, high-energy evening. Gratitude also goes out to Kaylegh for dodging head stocks on stage while performing her excellent photography skills for the Coven Clan.

What a exciting time to play The Compound at an All Ages gathering. Not many venues offer these shows. Fantastic audience and a great line up that rocked The Pound. Fantastic seeing patrons under the age of 10 hopping to the Coven of 13 beat.

7.15.2005
Coven of 13 enjoyed casting their spell upon The Crypt. The venue’s atmosphere is filled with a plethora of gargoyles, tombs, skulls, castle features and more. A most eclectic and inviting place for our dark side kin. Sorry, no pictures allowed at the club

7.2.2005
Independence Day Party at Brian’s compound in Salem, NH. This all day/night event gets better and better each year. In the midst of the 10 bands that entertained a crowd of 300 people, there was the “Dragon Man” blowing fire along with the “Human Fire Cracker”. By evening, the sky was filled with fireworks whilst stumbling, but happy, onlookers cheered. Coven of 13 was delighted to entertain and cast their spell while the mosh pit filled with battered people. Thank you Brian, once again, for hosting this hellacious party!

The Coven of 13 crew enjoyed performing at Evo’s Art in Lowell, MA. What a comfortable and historical area to play…great for the eclectic group. Once again, we had the opportunity to share the stage with the intense, mesmerizing gentlemen of Forevers’ Fallen Grace. Blackout Frenzy also committed to pummeling the patrons with a powerful, head banging, awe struck set.

06.17.2005 Coven of 13 entertained at its ‘Home Away From Home’, The Compound in Fitchburg, MA. Guaranteed a great time. All four bands put on energetic sets and were thrilled to perform. Come to our next show at The Compound on 7.16.2005 for an ALL AGES Battle of The Bands…

6.04.2005
Coven of 13 was part of three bands that rocked at the Fishtown Artspace in Gloucester, MA.  Dozens and dozens of teenagers came to mosh and rock. What an audience – thank you!  Fishtown Artspace is one of the few ventures that cater to ages 5-19….great way to give kids something to do.  They are privately funded and any aid to this place or others similar is highly recommended.  Thank you to Joni for her marketing and photography skills along with Katie, the videographer/drum tech and thanks to KURTIE J, making his guest appearance ripping it up on the drums with Song #9 on stage with Coven of 13.  Don't forget to check us out on Friday the 17th of June at The Compound in Fitchburg, MA

Coven of 13 had the pleasure of performing at Goodtimes Emporium in honor of the American Cancer Society, run by Kats Costumes. From noon to midnight, patrons were entertained with Goth, Metal, Rock, Folk, Dance and more. Thank you to all who came and supported this extravaganza. Also, a special thank you goes out to Saber Moonflower who performed the closing song with Coven of 13…..you are a Rockin' Lady!

5.20.2005
Coven of 13 shared a stage with Throwing Shrapnel and Forevers’ Fallen Grace at the 208 Tavern in Worcester, MA. We enjoyed meeting the other bands and shaking the walls. Great job to all! The 208 Tavern initially looked simple from the outside; however, inside was fabulous woodwork, clean and warm ambience.  Most importantly the drink prices are very reasonable!

Saturday night Coven of 13 had the pleasure of being on the bill with three remarkable bands, Dead Sober, Mad Savannah and Road to Nowhere at the Reflections Lounge located in Chelmsford, MA.   LowellRocks.com had set the show up and managed to bring together four distinct groups dissimilar enough to keep the audience from getting bored yet if you listened closely we all had enough in common to make it a good mix. It was also the debut of vocalist Syn who had one and a half hours rehearsal time with the band in preparation for the show. She did a great job! Our former bassist Blind Jak had taken time away from his current project to fill in for us and pretty much smoked the place although there wasn’t quite enough room on stage for his usual aggressive act.  To all who where there with us in body, mind or spirit a warm and grateful thanks goes out you from the band!

Just two short weeks from now on April 8th and 9th we will be playing at Club Fuel (Lowell, MA) and at the  Goodtimes Emporium (Somerville, MA) respectively.

Coven of 13 would like to step away for a moment from the usual show updates and band announcements to thank a very special person. Every first and third Thursday The Skybar located in Somerville, MA hosts the Dark Sky Goth Night. As far as we know that may very well be the only venue in Massachusetts that caters to the Goth scene with live bands. The driving force behind Dark Sky is Anderson Mar.

Coven of 13 first performed at The Skybar in July ’04 which was the bands second show and our first show on a real stage. Anderson’s official title is “Independent Boston-Based Band Promoter”.  Additionally she is also a producer extraordinaire and handles all the little details that makes a show an entertaining and enjoyable experience for not only the audience but the performers also. Well in advance of us walking in the door we had already spoken with the sound engineer for any special requirements and knew exactly where to load, stash our gear, park, etc.  Anderson made sure we where hooked up with everything.  After all that she greeted us at the club and made the whole band feel welcome.

Afterward Anderson went out of her to help us out in many other ways and she didn’t have too. She does the same for many bands and the Goth scene in general. Thank you Anderson!!

You can find out more about Anderson Mar and what she is doing on her Yahoo Group at New England Darksidewalkers

Coven of 13 spellbound and entertained the audience at The Compound in Fitchburg.  Such a comfortable and friendly place. It was great seeing heads going, people singing along and actually dancing to a gothic death march. Good job on the sound Ryan. Following us were Adrenokrone, Rubicon and Dead Center Universe who proceeded to rip the crowd up. Great job gentlemen.

Coven of 13 is adding Credit Card processing to this web site.  We'll soon be able to accept Visa, MasterCard, AMEX and Discover.

Great night at McGann’s in Boston. Warm and inviting. Sound gentlemen, J&T Productions, did a great job. We had the pleasure of sharing the stage with End Way and Gone Baby Gone. Real tight and fun bands – they got the crowd hopping. Coven of 13 played the Witching Hour and the patrons definitely got a thrill. Our darkness on stage set the mood and the energy changed from bopping to a ‘dance of the death’. Sending a thanks to our new found friends from New York….great people!  Hey Saber it was great seeing you again!

Coven of 13 was honored to meet Nills and Neal who are going to be deployed later this year.   These Marines  deserve our utmost respect – Ultimate Warriors… SEMPER FI (always faithful).

This show at Goodtimes Emporium was extraordinaire. Our "hats off" to this huge venue and especially to the unbelievable sound engineer. Five powerful and tight bands shared the stage. A 'round of sound' goes out to the ladies at Heathen Entertainment who had the arduous task of putting this show together. Coven of 13 was on last, midnight, the Witching Hour! I think we were allotted a few more minutes ~thank you. We appreciate the people that came and the ones that stayed to see our act.

The Launch Party for NoMASoNHa Music Magazine was fabulous. Shot Down Sun, Saturn Effect, Coven of 13, Mongrel, Oma and SED sent Club Fuel in Lowell, MA to new heights. We were also visited by the lovely Triana who runs Lowell Rocks. Check out the site for the Battle of the Bands. We would like to thank Marc and Jen (zine founders) for all their hard work. Thank you to Jon and Cheri.   for, once again, a professional sound and light show. Applause to all the bands that pulled together to support the new NoMASoNHa magazine. Last, but no means least, to the patrons that made the show! Thank you for your support. Thank you to Dark Intentions for offering their fabulous photographs for Coven of 13.

Dark Blessings….
