  2. New Year

    Wait until the bells ring and shout like a fanny?

    Alternatively Bassment will be serving food until ten and the usual magnificent selection of cocktails and smartly dressed barkeeps until one and then upstairs can you continue to the wonder of Moshulu and the new year spectacular!

    Alas that fate keeps myself and Maxi from tag-teaming the back room decks. Good times. Good, sweet times.

    Also Cosmic Rough Riders and Wet Wet Wet are playing if you're thinking of being affected by SAD and suiciding and want to take some people down with you :up:

    I heard there's a pretty good convention that people are clamouring to attend there too!

    I attended a convention once. It was a Zoidberg appreciation convention. There was only about three of us but we took it as a positive as it meant there were more sandwiches to go round. Fourteen each as I recall.

    Good times. Still three times as many people as the Maxi appreciation convention. Not counting that hamster that wandered in unawares and mysteriously 'vanished'...

  15. FMA'07 - Best Venue

    in Krakatoa

    what people are missing here is the point I'm trying to make about Moshulu as a whole - the t-shirt thing isn't really the issue, it's just the fact that when you're in there getting served by someone in an Aerosmith t-shirt at, say a Sparklehorse gig (as I did), then it just reinforces the opinion that it's a club (albeit, on the rockier side of the spectrum) rather than a music venue.

    Does that make sense at all?

    Personally, I couldn't give a flying toss if people listen to Aerosmith or what the DJs play (Bon Jovi one memorable night I was in there) - however, being in there for a gig feels like you're intruding on someone elses private patry in their home.

    Same with the "get out for 10:30!" rule - after paying 10 - 15 quid on a gig it's a bit of a shitty feeling to be chucked out so early of a venue that's going to open again later. Can we not be pushed to the side for half an hour to finish our drinks or buy more? Does that not make more economic sense? Again, it just gives the impression you're not welcome in there.

    If anyone from Moshulu wants to comment on this then I'd gladly engage in conversation on here or over a pint - in fact, it would nice if someone took Jamie's approach at the Lemon Tree and takes on board opinions (right or wrong as they are).

    However, if only response I get is the mock outrage / sarcasm of fli$'s last few posts then maybe a course in customer relations may be in order.

    Psydoll - not sure what you meant by the "opinion / arsehole" post.

    Right, I'm off to invade Poland now.......

    I guess the t-shirt comment makes a bit more sense now but at the same time it's never something that's bothered me at any gig I've been to at any venue and so seems ever so slightly petty (again, opinion! :)). There was talk of uniforms being brought in for the Moshulu barstaff to compliment the attitude that's been taken downstairs in Bassment a short while ago which would most likely provide a more professional front to the whole operation in the eyes of the general public but I struggle to recall ever going to another town and feeling unwelcome in a venue, 'disinterested' barstaff or not. I guess it seems more like you're judging people by a shirt, surely someone could like Sparklehorse AND Aerosmith? I dunno. I'm rambling a bit. I get what you're saying but it's nothing that'd ever occur to me say if a girl behind the bar at 13th Note was wearing a Suede t-shirt when I was there to see Mistress :)

    The 10:30 curfew thing I understand customers frustration with but with the majority of the gigs attracting under-18's there I can see the hassle in ID-ing everyone and booting out underagers. Some kind of stamp or wristband system with everyone providing ID upon entry mayhaps? I still don't think I've seen any suggestions on here, I'm sure Rob would be willing to at least listen. It's not like RFR don't want the club open as quickly as possible either as quite a few nights have been mooted as going straight into the clubnight despite loading gear off the stage issues. Such is life! Rob! Sort it oot! :p

    The opinion/arsehole post was just in an 'everyone has one' sort of way as I'm no more involved in most of the gigs (bar the Club NME ones) than you are. Purely a spectator. :)

    Thanks to the other comments from the Moshulu bar staff / DJs / hangers-on - i'm glad you've taken you're customers comments to hearts and are acting on their suggestions / gripes*.

    * Im being sarcastic again here in case anyone misses the signposting yet again.

    Music at clubnights is one thing but on the subject of gigs I guess I'm right there on the opinion/arsehole end of things with you dude ^_^
