new venue..need help

Ste k

"high volatge"

DC input

Nu-clear

asdf (as from a keyboard near you)

55th street

de-regulation

Priviatisation

11850

What about 'No name'

or 'double U' as in 'W'

Imagine the fun directory enquiries would have.

Punter.....'Im lookin for a place called 'double u'

11850 bod(typically)...'how do you spell it'

deoconne

something strange like "In D Rok"? I know, i'm not very funny

third (?) cellar door though

Saint-dotsie

how about
"sanctuary" its probably too dancy,i still ike "aja",
look up some flaming lips song titles your bound to find a good idea there.

ThatBloke

How about That Place, as in I'm goin to ThatPlace with That Bloke

Hydromonkey

How about "Generic Indie Club No.7"

or maybe "Dischord" (now that involved some thinking, with the whole play on words)

Btw good ideas for the club - cheap drink now and again, get DJs that play music the punters want to hear not what they think we want to hear, and have the bands on late (i enjoy music more while intoxicated)

Mewzel

i think 'cellar door' is a pretty good name.

Tyrrial

well, it looks to me like "cellar door" is a crowd favouit.

tiggertigger

I think they should call it "JAIL"
(or "GAOL" for the oldie in you)

Not many people can say
"yerr man, I saw [enter band name here]
in JAIL there the other night"
or
"yerrIwas in JAIL the other night. deadly buzz man. deadly."
or
"jayzus, there's great music in JAIL"

... well you get the picture...
You could also call THE JAIL,
but that limits the effectiveness of the title methinks.
although it's a small point.

I await my cheque with patience

Mond

How about 'El Mocambo' a club favoured by the Stones (April Wine and others) many moons ago. Seriously Cheesy in central Dublin though.

How about Supernaut?
Soundhole was suggested by a friend but given the ability of the Dubs to give everything a nickname, perhaps not.

nuvolari

spoon!

no really

Tyrrial

How about Invoice?

acquiescefc

I like 'Double U'

Flows off the auld tongue

'Tonight, ladies and gents, Metallica live at the Double U'

Saves on advertising air time too!!

Tyrrial

arn't there a chain of hotels called the W....?

Achille

while talking about this with some friends someone said that naming a venue like this is like naming a child, so i figured why not just give it a person's name.
and i dont mean like Isaac Butt's or Whelan's. just a straight name on its own.

Hank.

"oh, we're playing a gig in Hank"
"i won free tickets to Hank tonight!"

Saint-dotsie

speaking of metallica the way their going they will end up laying gigs in little clubs for the rest of their lifes,that new song sounds really really atrocious,i swear to god it sounds like a combination of old metallica.speed metal,linkin park, and of course Korn.

no names to suggest

I second the motion... the possibilities for humour are endless - "Yeah kids, I met your mother in Jail... "

ThatBloke

How about "The Haven" or Haven

or

The Bunker

either way you could advertise it as a "safe haven" for those with good musical taste:p

stez

Few suggestions;

Skinz
The Rockshop
Hallelujah
The Rub Club
Kinky's
Karma Cauldron
Chimera

Tyrrial

i like the idea of using the word Karma... i love that word, but i think Chimerais a bit of a strange one....

eddiesheridan

The marquee club was a great venue sadly no longer here.
Maybe its time for a new legend.
