This is great news. Exodus used to be a great venue for gigs and events. The main reason gigs stopped happening there in the past was because it took too long dismantling the stage and removing the equipment before the club nights started. Hopefully that won't be a problem this time round.

Just don't graffiti my DJ booth, yeah? We've never managed to fully remove the stuff the Fudge chaps plastered all over it last time they held a night there...

nah wont be a problem, no stage for a start, and minimal PA!! we'll probably use the kinda 'alcove' bit over on the right, bands will be set up pretty much on the floor...therefore still maintaining that 'up close n personal/in yer face' feel that we love...!!

looking forward to it!!!

Yeah, that makes sense. The Go North gigs had the bands playing on the dancefloor, which meant half the club was inaccessable to the audience. I've seen plenty bands play in the alcove in the past, and there wasn't any problem then.

This could be the start of something beautiful

I always thought bands playing in the alcove was shit. both to watch and to play in. If you're playing in there it feels like you're in a cage away from the audience, and if you're watching the view is rubbish from everywhere except directly in front of it. But playing on the dancefloor cuts the capacity, so it's 6 of one I suppose.

i loved doing early fudgenights in exodus. people actally danced en mass between the bands when the dj's were on. this rarely seems to happens in any other venue unless it's sidca 'creative dancing' or the like.

Fudgenights in Exodus were ace.

The term we preferre(d) was and is "ironic dancing".
