It is literally underground. Well, most of it. Not sure if I can agree with your comments concerning old women. Moar cougars in the jungle, IMO!

Surely the best ever gig has to be the Dykeenies last year..........

Probably because it was the only time The Underkills played there!!

That's my favourite memory of Kef anyway!

I remember going to watch my mate's band Rescue Party supporting some American band I hadn't heard of a couple of years ago. Didn't even go downstairs when the main band was on.

Turned out it was We Are Scientists!! My ticket cost £5 and I didn't even watch them - that will haunt me forever..... It would have been ace to watch them in a venue like Kef!!

I am going there to see Slaves To Gravity next Friday, my last visit to Kef. Seen a fair few good bands there though unless you walked passed and saw a poster you never knew what was going on there.
There are quite a few gigs booked for May so I am wondering if these have now been rebooked or the bands are unaware of the situation?

Pretty sure it's been moved to Cafe Drummonds

That's what you get for automatically ignoring bands that aren't hip and established.

show has been moved to drummonds, other acts booked will either be performing at the tunnels or at drummonds.

those involved are all aware of the current changes that are going on.

I suppose that doesn't make it so weird that it's being turned into hotel rooms.

It's still weird.

Anyway, to chip in something on topic, I had a blast when Grooverider spun rekkeds there, back in the day. FREE GROOVERIDER!

My happiest memory of Kef is of a gig where some absolutely terrible only-on-the-bill-to-sell-tickets band were playing, and giving them a hell of a lot of stick for being absolutely terrible. Giving them hell in front of their 'fans' (read : neds) and nearly reducing their 'singer' to tears was quite possibly one of the funniest/worst things I've ever done. Being threatened by a bunch of kids to "shut up or else" was also bloody funny.

I only wish I could remeber who I was actually there to see...
