i must admit Saturday nights are usually rubbish in town and full of mullockers, but this is an excellent night and you should try it once.

Faerie · 08-04-2007 5:42pm

Sounds great! Particularly the free part!
Where exactly is Caroline St? I've never heard of it....

Kold · 09-04-2007 12:15am

Round the corner from the Old Oak. Near Scoozis. I want garlic bread.

hey chuci I'm really glad you had a good time

yay! that makes me really happy knowing you went along and had a ball. Seriously do come up and introduce yourself, unless you did on the night?
It's always free in after the bands, so come one, come all for a great alternative Saturday night

we have pink fairy lights and lollipops and the djs take turns dancing, ha ha!

I'm Aoife B, I worked on the door at Freakscene many years ago for about two nights but I don't do promo for them, i've been a regular there for many years

cathald · 10-04-2007 1:37pm

Ahh...will miss it, will be away on holidays!:(

sweetoblivion · 10-04-2007 1:49pm

ah don't worry it's on every saturday night!!

radiospan · 10-04-2007 6:36pm

Sounds good, might have to go back on my promise of not going out Saturday nights...

Probably not untli after exams though.

chuci · 14-04-2007 6:16pm

so will i be seeing a few more people there tonight its well worth giving into your ban on not going out on a sat night

smackbunnybaby · 08-05-2007 10:50pm

this was brilliant the other night after the 65daysofstatic gig.
i dont think i ever heard Slint or Dream Theater in a club before!

Rozie · 10-05-2007 12:15am

Any pics?

I prefer alternative music to METAL but I really wish there was some goth rock in that list. Purgatory does "some" but not very often, goth rock is a lot more "alternative" than "metal" so it's a shame you're not doing it. I think if someone introduced some Bauhaus it would be great.

Blitzkrieger · 10-05-2007 9:30pm

Is it on this Saturday? I heard Exit Pursued By A Bear were putting on a charity gig in the Cruiscin.

smackbunnybaby · 10-05-2007 10:11pm

its every saturday after any gig in cyprus avenue

roberta c · 15-05-2007 12:41pm

is it over 21's by chance? you cant go out anymore these days unless your 21!
unless of course you want to go the savoy....:rolleyes:
