That it is. Sadly it had recently gone from being an impressive club/concert venue that celebrated all things musically subversive to being rechristened/remodeled as Avalon which boasts a hip-hop/bland disco agenda.

Dontcha just hate it when that happens. 'They' killed the Town & Country in Leeds a couple of years back. Bastichs.

Hell ya. I've seen quite a few infamous local clubs go through this sad transformation(as well as closing altogether)in order to cater to the mainstream masses.....and fail in the longrun. City Gardens, a club/concert hall here in New Jersey that served to be a haven for a countless number of punk/goth and industrial acts, also suffered a similar fate.
I believe VNV Nation are the first uncoventional "band" Avalon have booked since it opened as such. Though VNV are no stranger to the Limelight days. I've seen them perform there in '98/'99. Good show.
