And you know that she's half crazy but that's why you want to be there.
And lo, the WendyHouse beckonned, and past the heathen's house of worship we strolled, into the warm heart of fellows. But then they played the Darkness followed by far too much hands in the air ravey sh!te wank. So I went upstairs, where I knew I wouldn't comprehend. Yet the bar was more accessible and the clientelle waaay more attractive. So I enjoyed the dance of some Haven Holidays glow-in-the-dark knuckle dusters, and finally dragged my sorry arse off to the nearest taxi rank. The Jameses were, as always, hospitality personnified.Francis wrote:Match postponed until tomorrow circa 8pm in the Fenton. All welcome. Especially you. If you get there before me, mine's a bottle of Thunderbird Red. Or, failing that, a large barley wine.
Groovy.

Well, that and the toilets.

exactly.
playing "this corrosion" about 10.30pm does not an alternative night make.
"a-ha and brittney spears were popular when we played them as last record the other week, so i know! lets just play them all night long from now on!"
lazy DJing of the highest order.
its a f**king rubbish club these days, and i'd rather eat my arm than go there again. its insulting that they dare claim its an "alternative" night anymore

Which is a shame because as venues go, it's pretty damn impressive. Maybe too big to fill without veering towards the musical mainstream? Or is there a lack of alternative music these days? In the 80s they used to be able to fill the Polytechnic's enormous warehouse of a 'disco' every Wednesday and I'm pretty sure they never had to resort to the equivalent of Britney Spears or 10 year old 'hits'.Quiff Boy wrote:its a f**king rubbish club these days, and i'd rather eat my arm than go there again. its insulting that they dare claim its an "alternative" night anymore

the small room in the cockpit on a saturday plays more goth than the wendy house ever does or ever did.
sisters, joy division, banshees, cure, new model army, chameleons, etc etc etc as well as older cool and/ or "indie" stuff such as the smiths, pixies, pulp, happy mondays, stone roses, puressence, suede, radiohead, buzzcocks, the clash, ramones, iggy, bowie, etc
they also play a bit of newer stuff - all that faux NYC 70s nonsense thats popular these days - but you can put up with it because you know there's going to be a run of at least 4 more good songs coming very soon
overall its a much, much better night out.
you feel like you've been listening to "good" music, not tacky s**t like @ wendy house.
its such a shame that leeds' goth population dont go there - if they went en masse they could persuade the dj to play goth stuff and other cool ALL night without too much hassle (him being that way inclined himself)

Think yourselves lucky you'v' even got a BAD club to go to!
without a near 300 mile round trip to Edinburgh or Glasgow it's the "Gay Gordons"and the "Dashing white Sergent" for us up here!

hmmm... i'd heard a lot of this sort of thing before our glorious return to the people's republic and wasn't especially looking forward to returning to das vendyhaus last month. and yet i had an okay time. and then this month i had a great time. now, many boozes were drunk but i don't recall hearing ms spears at all. or a-ha (but then what's wrong with a-ha? i thought wh had always played a smattering of 80s pop?). yes, they played the darkness but it was only once and anyway, i like the darkness. i do know that i danced a lot more on saturday than i ever expected to. i'd love to tell you what i danced to but i honestly can't remember (those damned boozes again). i'm pretty damn sure it wasn't the sort of cheesy pop i was warned made up the bulk of the playlist though. and i don't remember much goff crap either but then when did "alternative" become synonymous with goff? in fact wh's own website says:Quiff Boy wrote:exactly.

obviously it's not for everyone (and for what it's worth the saturday night thingummy at the cockpit sounds great too) but as far as i can see it's not changed an awful lot in seven years. maybe they went through a bad patch at some point and alienated a section of their punters?das vendyhaus wrote:It's not really a Goth night. We never intended it to be just that. We run a very fun night to be at, with a huge friendly crowd and a massive party atmosphere.
just in case you're wondering, i have no affiliation whatsoever with the wendyhouse (although i did vaguely know glenn (promoter and dj of wh) way back when). just thought i'd redress the balance a little based on my own recent experiences

fair play
last few times i've been i just got sick of hearing the darkness, bon jovi and queen.
the whole "party" thing has been taken too far and they've sacrificed playing *any* real tunes for the sake of playing schtoopid novelty s**t for the kids to dance too, without any trace of irony.
*shudder*
nonetheless, i shant be going back this side of, oooooh, 2098.

Talking of which, I'm going to Mull on Thursday and am hoping to talk my friends into going to a ceilidh in Tobermory on Friday night. I enjoy such things on the odd occasion although I'm worse than useless at dancing.

Aye,a ceilidh is a great night out,but they'r' on more often than "Eastenders"up here,and bugger all else for two thirtysomethings into "our" kinda music .Hope you get to your ceilidh,the more drunk you get the worse you dance,the worse you dance the better laugh you'll haveAndrew S wrote:Talking of which, I'm going to Mull on Thursday and am hoping to talk my friends into going to a ceilidh in Tobermory on Friday night.

Aren't we a sorry mob? Out here on the frontier, WH is some kind of Mecca compared to our hovel, which guarantees one or two Darkness tracks every Friday/Saturday night. I think the greatest occasion was Temple, JD's Love Will..., and then a vague Cure track. That essentially exhausted their ability to play anything made before 1992 for about the next four weeks.
