any1 know what happend to Rob Thurston?Haven't spoke to him for a while but could certainly find out...
The club(s) that made the difference
- Thread starter The spinna
- Start date
Have to say either Bowlers or Angels. Loved Bowlers, first "real club" that I went to regularly, but I really have some ace memories from Angels. Loved the layout of the club. Sounds minging, but the intense heat downstairs, combined with pharmacueticals, just an ace feeling. Especially with the speakers punching a hole in your ear drums, and the dj being in touching distance of the dancefloor. Brilliant club. Cream and then 'Crasher. However, after all these clubs I always somehow ended up in the Mos Eisley Cantina afterwards.
Just thought of something from Cream. the little room that was painted like a cow, Les Ryder in there ripping the floor up. Class.
Just thought of something else here. Is there anyway to start to start a club database on here, a bit like the mix and tune archive, but recording info about the various clubs and the dj's that played there (esp forgotten about rezzies) and other things?
One of the places that I experienced that i think really made a difference:
Eclipse,coventry. Britains first legal all-night dance club. No drinks licence therefore open 8pm until 8am every friday and saturday from October 1990. Basically just a bingo hall with 20k inside. 3 floors including a balcony. If you were on the lower floor you could see the ceiling above you bouncing up and down. Took about 2 days for your hearing to return to normal. Also, many of the countrys big name acts on the same bill eg Amnesia - stu allen, carl cox, fabio, grooverider, top buzz, sasha. Got a feeling the prodigy played there first PA here too.
