Re: Name my alternative club night

judging on what you are planning to play, how about 'Another Rubbish Indie Disco' ?

Re: Name my alternative club night

Inventive brian, very original. I'll consider it.

Although 'disco' may have to be omitted.

Oh, and 'Another' may not work either as it's gonna be in Chelmsford, Essex and as there aren't ANY alternative club nights (not just indie, metal and shit too) here - 'Another' wouldn't make much sense.

Chelmsford? Call it 'Chavs' - you'll be guaranteed a big crowd.

I don't really like indie clubs but there is one in chelmsford - bitterscene at the bassment once a month. It's not great, but beggars can't be choosers. Where is your night gonna be? i'm originally from chelmsford myself, but escaped as soon as i could.

...I don't see how Led Zep, The Roots, Rory Gallagher or Orbital comes within the genre of 'Rubbish Indie' either...

Re: Name my alternative club night

Don't call it 'Move Your Feet' or anything trite like that.
Or name it after a really fey indie band song - unless of course it's a fey indie club.
Most clubs have really bad names or names which mean absolutely nothing, like FROG...?

Vampire Vomit Bloodfest III: Return of the Jizz-Guzzler.

Re: Name my alternative club night

you have to have a gimmick of some sort... build the name around something related to that.

Re: Name my alternative club night

Make the gimmick/theme cheap booze, the name could then be Cheap Booze Night! That's advertising genius right there.

Re: Name my alternative club night

Why not call it the Great White Chocolate Debate, with the aim to answer one of life's pivotal questions - whether dark chocolate is better than white.....

Re: Name my alternative club night

because white chocolate is blatently better than milk or dark

Re: Name my alternative club night

'S gotta be 75% plus and DARK to be worth eating.

Call the night 'Too Drunk to Fuck'.

Amen. Does white chocolate have any cocoa in? It's just pretend chocolate for folk that don't like their sugar hits slightly bitter. Me, I like everything slightly bitter.

Re: Name my alternative club night

Dark chocolate & redwine consumed in the bath with spliffs is a good way to unwind. Yay.

Re: Name my alternative club night

Right. Only one thing can solve this problem - the random word game. Get together with a few mates, take turns to write down absolutely any word you like, then pair them up / link them together / whatever, and pick your favourite. It's that simple, and it works every time.

Or just call it Mighty Wizard Sleeve's Night Of Rock and Stuff.

Or "The Aids/Cancer Disco."

Ooh, "The Parkinsons Disco", with Michael J Fox on the flyer

Or "Youth for Palestine"

Or "Youth 4 snuff".

Re: Name my alternative club night

I actually like Ex-Girlfriend night but I think it should be used for a promoters collective or something.
