Nooooooooo!
This game is basically me trying to remember what they played in Spiders in 1991, even tho I was drunk for the entire year.
Do you still go there, though?
(I know someone who DJs there occasionally)

I remember playing upstairs in Potterrow in about 1992.

I can remember seeing Fenn and Velvet Crush upstairs at potterrow in late 1991 or 1992. I think i may have seen Dawson (or was it badgewearer) there too.

Right, we could really probably do this now, somewhere, in Edinburgh (or Glasgow), couldn't we? And people would go. Hurrah!
(though I'm still holding out for the festival)

I saw Fenn at Potterrow too in 1991 or 2. I saw Ballboy downstairs at Potterrow in about 1997 too, when they had a girl singer and Idlewild for that matter.
Roadrunner was good, beacause it was my music policy. It wasn't a student disco you bastards.

It plays indie. -- Matt DC (runmd...), October 4th, 2006.
There's more to it than this. Preferably mid-week (cos a lot of students go home to places like Kilmaurs on the weekend and it eliminates the workies) and a cheap beer promotion is pretty much essential. eg. In the era discussed above, a bottle of Becks for a quid would be appropriate.

(Strathclyde's good night was on a Thursday at Level 8, but it wasn't quite as good for some reason).
This is all a touch Glasgow-centric, sorry. Just redressing the balance from all those Edinburgh sorts up there.

By the way, the idea that student discos in the early 90's were all about Kill Yr Television and Touch Me I'm Sick is only MOSTLY true. Didn't any of you Glasgow types go to Wednesday Night Fever at (I think) the Cotton Club? A very silly disco night for students and tons of fun.

Treefell, given that there were only about 30 people there; who are you? Do I know you?

I last went to Spiders about 5 years ago. It was full of 16 year-old emo/nu-metallers. I felt like a paed just being there. I don't think I can ever go back again unless somebody slips me acid or ket. Which would be nice, but still, I fear the party is over.
Love, noodle.

This one would do the trick tooThis is the thread where we reminisce over not particularly good Evening Session bands from the late 90s

bubblegum/roadrunner/whatever. all the same to me. six pints each in happy hour, two joints (rolled in the bogs under the ever-watchful nose of g4vin the servitor [1]), as much vodka as i could neck ... funny, i don't remember much about anything after that. except that i NEVER PULLED. (still: those of you that have seen that shirt pic i posted on the "used to look like" thread will understand that.)
grimly's ace keith fact: i once wandered upstairs at potterrow, where keith was playing the weatherall remix of "soon". in my staggeringly young/naive/drunken/stoned state, i thought keith was actually MIXING MBV WITH SOME OTHER WEIRD SHIT LIVE IN FRONT OF ME, and stood there gawping until the painful need for more artificial stimulus took over (ie about 3 seconds).
[1] what a truly horrible fucking word! the student newspaper should have campaigned against it. oh ...

* I just wanted to go to Piper and drink myself diabetic but I was forced to listen to D und B DJs. It was good tho. But I was scared by lithe bouncy kinders who were probly at Primary School when I last cared about D und B.
