Friction......Black Cat White Cat

Sounds a little strange right?

Friction is the name of a new friday night at Black Cat White Cat (on Gouger St above the Mars Bar).

The old heritage listed dance studio above the mars bar has been bought and done up into a farkin excelent looking club. I was up there one night this week, and was amazed at what I saw. High ceilings, large area, nice decor, a couple of pool tables, really nice sound system and good lighting

DJs - Remedy, Aaron, Lynton, Cheeky B, Amadeus and Chris D. We'll be playing a bit of everything, house, progressive, trance, and hard house.

So if you're looking for something new to do come down and create some Friction.

Free entry before 12. $8 after 12

All Vodka based drinks are 2 for the price of 1 all night.

It's only in the early stage too, I think it's going to grow into a very popular venue very quickly. Just wait till you see it.

You were supposed to play the opening night, didn't show up, and were contacted for confirmation that you would play the second week. This was done so that BCWC could print fliers with the DJs names on it. You said you'd definitely play, so your name went on the flier. Once again you didn't show up.

That's two weeks in a row!

They decided that it wasn't worth chasing you. Hence no more phone calls.

lol @ Amilne Big Grin :D

Went by last night and I really like the venue.

Definitely needs a promoter though who knows what they're doing and can bring the potential to reality as at the moment the musical format is all over the place.

Sounds like an easy solution to the "fraction too much friction" as Amilne put it. When they put on a promotor who knows what they're doing, and if that promotor would like Odyssey to play, I'm sure that there will be no problems.

It all sound like miscommunication, which can happen when a new club is being set up by people not experienced in this field, rather than anyone intentionally trying to do the wrong thing. Smile  :)

Is the promoter of this nite also the manager of Black Cat White Cat?

... this venue normally serves as an European-Style Cafana with live international music hence why the foray into a club nite may be a little rocky at first. With Aaron's involvement though i'm sure things will get off the ground.

oh and hi LOCSmiley - u feeling a little lost today??? Wink ;)

Well I checked it out last night, and I really like the place. Its quite classy the chill out area has some comfy lounges and the dance floor is killer.

The staff are also very friendly, however watch out for the far side and the little sign above the door that states NOT ADMITTANDCE. Unlucky for me it is that small I didnt even c it.

DJ Aaron played some killer trax, and I think a good night was enjoyed by all.

Oddy..... Maybe you should have phoned them to find out. Communication is a 2 way street. Im sure you are a busy person, and don't have time to sit around all night waiting to play, but as they say...... the answer is only a phone call away.

LOC - I play a bit of everything if I get the chance ( not all in the same set ) My main style is trance, but I also love playing house and progressive.

Lotus - Thanks for the vote of confidence. Give us a few weeks and if all goes well we will have the place pumping!

Beekayz - Musical format?? What musical format?Wink ;) That's what we're going to sort out over the next couple of weeks.

Evening...er Morning all

Nice to meet you Oddy.

Sounds like this event could be a good replacement to the now defunct progressive night at RR. Now that I know about it I will endevour to see you all there next Friday.

Howdee Dorsai. That's what we are hoping. There is a lack of good entertainment on Friday nights, and Black Cat White cat has the capacity and set up to provide a great night for heaps of punters. At a guess I think it would hold 600 plus, and that's with seating for about 100. Without the seats I think it would hold 900 or so.

The venue was a dance studio before the current owners got it. I think the sleaze ball was held there one year.

Dorsai - you can also check out Fabric once a month at Skylab for your progressive fix. Next time is the Birthday so will be big!

But yeah, twas a shame that RR booted all it's promoters and DJs, but blessing in diguise, I think anyway, because even though Fabric's only once a month, the venue's a lot nicer and more friendly than RR was.

Jypster: Thanks for the heads up but I was planning on going anyway. I dont think the boys would be happy with me if i didn't make it, especially after all the nagging for my Fabric Card. I was actually at the last Fabric at Skylab and we had a couple of conversations throughout the night if my memory serves me correctly Embarrassment :blush:

The things mentioned by people that were wrong with Friday nights at BCWC in this thread are about to be fixed, so stay tuned to ITM to hear about some BIIIG changes to the friday night format. Also look out for new flyers that should be out in the next week or so.

A promotion team has been enlisted to sort the night out, and things are already getting underway.

LOC - you seemed to do a pertty good job of hijacking my thread anyway. Thanx. Wink ;)
