Nine years of Nightmare? Yeah, but only just…
It's that time again, time for another instalment of Nottingham's
sexiest cyber night, Nightmare!
Join us to celebrate our NINTH year as one of the UK's leading
alternative nights, as we kick off the new year in a new venue!
This week resident DJs Gadge Europa, Urban Cannibal and False will be
invading upstairs at the Old Angel to bring you top-notch tunes and
stomping sounds – playing the best in new and classic EBM, Electro and
Industrial (with maybe even the odd bit of goth and techno thrown in
for good measure)!
So why not join the sexydethchix and industrialbois this Saturday at
`mare?
So the new rules are:
Nightmare! 12th January 2008
Venue: Upstairs at the Old Angel
(just down the road from Sugar/Mahiki/Makali/Mularky/Rahi or whatever
name it was on any given day)
10pm til 2am (and if we impress them maybe we get it til later?)
Entry: £5
Dress code: Dress to Impress!
Now here's the sad but true bit…
We have (perhaps temporarily) lost the Sugar bar as a venue which is a
shame, but the Old Angel have been diamond geezers in letting us have
their venue at very short notice – and we need show them that we're
worth it.
Some of you are new to Nightmare and some of you old hands have been
there since our first night way back in 2000 but hopefully you all
still love it… help us keep on entertaining you by coming out this
weekend and letting us put on a cracking show of strength.
Essentially guys, as with all things it boils down to a case of your
industrial scene needs you – you use it or you lose it.
The sad fact is that venues can easily fill their halls on a Saturday
night by putting on generic student nights, rock nights or similar
`safe bets'- alternative (and in particular goth and industrial
nights) are a risk.
If we can't impress on venues that its worth putting on alternative
nights they won't have us back… so this really could be the very last
Nightmare – its up to you.
Its been a long journey and a fun one, sure we haven't always got it
right, sure we've changed since we started (the alternative is
stagnation), sure music policy has changed with the prevailing winds
of change and that might have at times not been what some folk liked
while others loved it… but lets not let the story end here eh?
Love you all
Gadge
