Perhaps you weren't creepy enough. Clock DVA is the music Marlon Brando's Colonel Kurtz would make if Cabaret Voltaire were the house band of the North Vietnamese Army. It takes a special breed of goth to dance to this:

Even their peppy shit makes you want to suck a tailpipe:

And while it's rumored that Jeffrey Dahmer cruised for victims at Skinny Puppy shows, he was busted with Clock DVA's "Buried Dreams" on the stereo.

There is the rumor that Jeffrey Dahmer was listening to Clock DVA's Buried Dreams right before he was arrested by the police. Although Clock DVA pieces such as The Hacker are obviously about computer-related subjects, many of the tracks from Buried Dreams concern serial killers and personalities such as the Marquis De Sade; the title of the album is also the title of a 1986 investigative book about serial killer John Wayne Gacy by Tim Cahill and Russ Ewing. Frontman Adi Newton reacts, "Initially I was quite surprised, but then it occurred to me that as an individual there is no legitimate reason for him not to listen to Buried Dreams, or for that matter any other recording that is commercially available. I suppose the context of Buried Dreams opens it to interpretation of any kind."

I suspect the Seattle scene was a little more "SNL's Goth Talk" than Detroit's. These were known facts amongst the tribes and you could depend on hearing "Buried Dreams" at some point towards the end of the night.
