I was only 16 in 1989 so my nightclub days were in the early nineties. It is all a bit of a blur to be honest.

I am much better at remembering music BEFORE I moved out and discovered snakebite

Indie wise I saw:
EMF - loved
Carter - was mad for
The Wonder Stuff - Amazing

Can't remember who else at the mo

PatFenis there is every chance you would know my sister and BIL if you went there often, but maybe they were slightly before your time. Girl with purple spiky hair boy with black spiky hair - Robert Smithish. I know there were probably loads but they were regulars and after the last Liverpool thread I was telling her to get on here cos I'm sure she would know people!!

PatFenis · 18/08/2013 00:04

Aww coco how could you not love Half Man Half Biscuit!

I was proper pissed off when I joined MN 3 years ago and found that someone had used that as a NN so I started out on here as Picallili Shinpads ...what a tit!!! [GRIN]

morethanpotatoprints · 18/08/2013 00:06

Ah, God bless her.

ImpulsePineapple · 18/08/2013 00:07

Goodnight Sparkling This has been a bloody lovely Saturday night thread , thank you Smile

Anybody for

PatFenis · 18/08/2013 00:07

Growlithe there is every possibility that I knew them, I started going there in about 1986 but only when I started working in Quiggins and had lots of beer tokens did I start going there all the bloody time, I bet if I don't know them we have friends in common ;)

PatFenis · 18/08/2013 00:08

Sparkling thanks for a brill thread love, really enjoying it!! Sleep well chick Smile

Growlithe · 18/08/2013 00:14

I'm sure you do Pat. They go to the odd gig from the old days (like Julian Cope) where they bump into a lot of the old crowd all grown up.

And for a new NN if you ever need one - DuklaPragueAwayKit?

FacebookWanker · 18/08/2013 00:15

My last one before bed m.youtube.com/watch?feature=related&v=W8r-tXRLazs

Goodnight all. Thanks for some fab memories.

PatFenis · 18/08/2013 00:26

I have just spat my drink on my screen Growlithe ...Loving it!!! Either that or NagasakiTowpath ....hmmm I can't decide ....

I was in my mid/late teens when I was going to the planet but my mates were all a fair bit older so now I'm in my early 40s they are all late 40s and early 50s - still haven't grown up though haha! Its so odd to see them now - a lot of them are still on that scene and haven't changed a bit bar greyer hair ...or a lot less hair Grin

Shaky · 18/08/2013 00:41

Goodnight all, it's been fun Smile

ImpulsePineapple · 18/08/2013 02:07

Oh. Well that's not the thing at all is it. Sad for you x

Sparklingbrook · 18/08/2013 12:38

Ooooh my kind of thread!! The Brother Beyond clip!! Oh, blast from the past. A friend at school used to be madly in love with Nathan. She used to sigh loudly over pics of him in TV Hits and everything.
I just used to pull faces like this Hmm and go back to drooling over my Jason Donovan posters. Grin
