View Full Version : Joy Division, dark indie and electro etc in clubs
Agent Gypo 24-04-2005, 11:40 I want a club that plays stuff like Joy Division, Violent Femmes, early New Order, Alec Empire, Electronic, Nine Inch Nails, Lolita Storm, Godflesh. Maybe even Warp stuff (as if). Just something dark really.
Please help me.
And don't suggest Fuzz Club or Leadmill, they're both 5hit.
RockKat79 24-04-2005, 13:42 why don't you go to corporation on Saturday nights, go to the Syn room, they play all of that, they play Industrial, darkwave, goth, classic punk. Just looking at the bands you have listed they play tracks by all of them almost every week!!
Agent Gypo 24-04-2005, 13:56 No thanks. Corp plays the more commercial side of rock and metal and is full of kids. It's not really goth music I'm looking for, though I do enjoy the odd doom-and-gloom night from time to time.
I haven't been on a saturday in almost a year though, so I may pop along just to see if anything has changed.
Pauline BHG 24-04-2005, 13:57 Yep i agree - Corporation on a Saturday. There is a room dedicated to allsorts of goth/ebm/industrial and 80s stuff, and the DJs always seem happy to play requests.
Also Batfink on the first Friday of every month, at Aqua, Ponds Forge. Plays old and new goth/ebm/industrial stuff, website doesnt seem to have been updated for a while, but it's def on on Fri 6th May <my birthday, i'll be there wi me dancin shoes on heheheh> Have a look at the playlists to see if you'd like it: http://www.batfink.net/playlists.html
Well I know it's not quite what you asked for, but I'm sure that Uncertainty Principle would fill your desire for something dark and odd.

Just checked the batfink setlist out - looks pretty good. Many people go?
Pauline BHG 24-04-2005, 22:35 I dont know if you mean *many people go?* as in from this forum, or in general ! Forum - i dont know, but yes ive only been a few times and its always been fairly busy. I really really like the venue - if youve not been in, its circular and the dancefloor is a raised circle in the centre, the soundsystem is fab !!

I missed the last one so I'll make more of an effort to get to this one...
Check out C-90. Never been myself but I have been reliably assured that it is a wicked night. Don't know when the next one is either so that isn't any use either
Well i was in `Reflex`the other day and they played `Blue Monday`....Seriously though, if there was somewhere that was into Joy Division and New Order id be there like a shot
Pauline BHG 26-04-2005, 05:37 I was at the Casbah for pre-Corporation drinks on Saturday. A DJ came on at 10pm (upstairs - free entry) and played LOADS of good 80s synth stuff. I couldn't stay long unfortunately, but he was playing the likes of OMD, Simple Minds, Depeche Mode etc etc. Very good music, he used to do the *Nu-Romantic* night there, dunno what happened wi that (i guess i shouldve asked - doh !)
Anyway a mate of mine said he's there every saturday night (the DJ that is)
monkeylove 26-04-2005, 22:27 try Razor Stilleto
next razor stiletto on the 7th May. Anyone here a regular? I know there are previous threads on RS.. have wanted to go for ages, so heading down there in lone adventurer looking for excitement style, anyone want to travel in the same boat?
Pauline BHG 27-04-2005, 19:18 Im a regular at Razor :) IMHO its a fantastic night, and i love the venue. I'll be there with a crowd as it's my birthday whoopee ! Also on 4th june, Phil Oakey is DJing, and KingsHaveLongArms are playing. Will be fantastic :D
Batfink isn't bad at all. I remember the first ever one! *sigh*
Anyway, for more syhthpop-type shenanigans check out Synthetic. No NIN, or many guitars for that matter. But it's small, friendly and usually a good laugh. The website is: www.syntheticsheffield.co.uk
You missed it, dude... It was called The Limit :-)
I was in Bar 1 earlier and there is a night there tonight (and maybe every Friday?) with that kind of music. Even Cab Vol :clap:
Pauline BHG 30-04-2005, 02:01 That was *Synthetic*. My fave club !! I missed it tonight though :( It's only on once every 2 or 3 months unfortunately....
Aaarrrggghhh 30-04-2005, 19:31 Agent Gypo dude, I think most here mmissed your point?
