It's Mono No Aware, they're allowed to like the Spice Girls if they want. They're that good.

Hey, I'm not saying it's a bad thing. The Boss is still my favourite artist.

We saw mono no aware live a couple of weeks ago at Infest. It was great.

It was amazing. Although my act of the weekend was Combichrist.

Hey, I think we have to clubbing at one point! :o)

I really want to go to Implant (http://www.clubimplant.co.uk) some time but getting to Manchester on a Friday night is a pain...

And if I ever manage to get my Industrial/Electro/Noise club off the ground, you'd be welcome in Cambridge. :o)

Sounds like a plan.

For a city with a surprisingly large number of us, there is NO decent industrial night anywhere down here at all.

I think it's a northern thing really. They have loads up there... Damnit.

*nods* It's similar around here. Maybe it is more something for real industrialised areas?
The best German industrial club I know is in a village in the middle of nowhere about 50 miles north of Nuremberg.

They sometimes play some really nice harsh stuff at Alternator in London but also lots of EBM and Synthpop crap.
It's a shame that there isn't really a market for it. Cryonica Music tried to set up Hard Drive doing just that. The first night was brilliant (they just played P•A•L when I got there), the second night was almost dead because they clashed with three other events. They tried to resurrect it twice but never succeeded. The last one had maybe 40 people. We get that many at Octaine (http://www.octaine.co.uk) on a weekday night in Cambridge...

Yeah, we used to have Near Dark but then the DJs left to start their own night. And that's in the process of failing. They just play EBM and in the other room, it's just metal. There's no inbetweeny stuff that most of us like.

And they don't play noize, grrr...

I think there should be a night on the south coast where they play something decent. They used to play some industrial at the Dungeon of a Thursday, but now even that's gone to the metal.

We should start an industrial club, demanding some decent stuff at least once a month.

How is Southampton for alternative venues where you could run a club night (i.e. a bit of a dancefloor, PA system, late licence til 2am)?

It's the biggest hurdle I'm facing while trying to set up my Industrial Club. There's the Kambar (where The Calling, Wake Up Screaming and other local regular clubs and also our own Octaine run) but I'm currently having difficulties finding suitable dates and the management aren't really helpful. Other than that, there are two pubs that hire out their backrooms but they only have normal pub licences.

The actual running of the night is the easiest part.

There's quite a few with late licences, but only 2 alternative types.

The management is a bit weird, one is owned by a hardcore christian lady who's right scary, you can deal with her but she doesn't like nights that she doesn't organise. The other is easier but more expensive. The guy that runs it is quite nice though and trys to help.

There are others, the best person to ask is Katykitten
