hello everyone,
i'm just starting to think very seriously about doing club drownedinsound in london. once a month to begin with, some ace bands (one of them reasonably big/known i.e. biffy clyro, planes mistaken for stars, crackout, rock of travolta, gemma hayes, oceansize etc...) and then a club playing the best music (beit rock, indie, punk, breakbeat...) but, but, but I need to find the place with the right vibe that I can actually afford.
At the moment I'm considering:
The Underworld: as it's in camden, has a good pa and club license.
Metro: oxford st, not sure about the pa and it has an odd vibe sometimes.
Borderline: ace venue, bit expensive to hire.
Studio Club: great venue, v.v.v.expensive bar.
Camden Palace: could be a laugh.
where else is there? all suggestions welcome.. london needs a central point for it's scene and we might as well do it cus we know what we're on about..
thanks in advance
sean

how about the Water Rats?
good rep, great sound, it's the water rats!!
or Gossips, bad lighting but can have a good crowd, and sound...and i love the sound checks.
sound engineer: "ok. play a song... ok sounds good. thanks"
classic!
if you need a great support act, fUSE is alive and well!!

i think this discussion was had a while ago with 'some abandoned warehouse' being the result, quite a good one in my mind, I've had arguments about it with ppl, mostly ethical/indie ones, but hey

Monarch is easily the worst venue on the planet. Absolute shithole, run by cunts, with a god-awful sound system to ruin bands as a result.
