Nearly 20 years after deathrock and goth first appeared on the music scenes in Southern California and London, the deathrock revival began in Southern California. During 1998 in [[Long Beach, California]], owners of the Que Sera, a local bar asked Jeremy “Jermz” Meza and friends, to throw a one-night “old school” Gothic Halloween party. After the success of the one-off party, the event quickly evolved into a regular deathrock club called Release the Bats<ref>[http://www.releasethebats.info/ ReleaseTheBats.info]</ref> and a focal point in California for the reemerging deathrock movement. (The club is named after a song by the Australian band [[The Birthday Party (band)|the Birthday Party]].)
