Friction......Black Cat White Cat

[DjAARON]

Sounds a little strange right?

Friction is the name of a new friday night at Black Cat White Cat (on Gouger St above the Mars Bar).

The old heritage listed dance studio above the mars bar has been bought and done up into a farkin excelent looking club. I was up there one night this week, and was amazed at what I saw. High ceilings, large area, nice decor, a couple of pool tables, really nice sound system and good lighting

DJs - Remedy, Aaron, Lynton, Cheeky B, Amadeus and Chris D. We'll be playing a bit of everything, house, progressive, trance, and hard house.

So if you're looking for something new to do come down and create some Friction.

Free entry before 12. $8 after 12

All Vodka based drinks are 2 for the price of 1 all night.

[amilne]

sounds farkin unreal, some nices venues on gouger street now, & always in for some friction

[DjAARON]

It's only in the early stage too, I think it's going to grow into a very popular venue very quickly. Just wait till you see it.

[Stimpy]

Sounds interesting....might have to check it out myself

:p

[Beekayz]

I'll hopefully get a chance to check it out tonight.

Sounds like fun!

[oddy]

apparently im playing according to there ad's and flyers ..

havent received a call yet though ..

[DjAARON]

< apparently im playing according to there ad's and flyers ..

You were supposed to play the opening night, didn't show up, and were contacted for confirmation that you would play the second week. This was done so that BCWC could print fliers with the DJs names on it. You said you'd definitely play, so your name went on the flier. Once again you didn't show up.

That's two weeks in a row!

They decided that it wasn't worth chasing you. Hence no more phone calls.

[oddy]

when are you suppoesd to rock up if you don't know what time your playing ?


Or shoudl I just get there from 9pm and wait till it's my turn ?

[amilne]

theres a fraction to much friction yeah

[Beekayz]

lol @ Amilne :D

Went by last night and I really like the venue.

Definitely needs a promoter though who knows what they're doing and can bring the potential to reality as at the moment the musical format is all over the place.

Sounds like an easy solution to the "fraction too much friction" as Amilne put it. When they put on a promotor who knows what they're doing, and if that promotor would like Odyssey to play, I'm sure that there will be no problems.

It all sound like miscommunication, which can happen when a new club is being set up by people not experienced in this field, rather than anyone intentionally trying to do the wrong thing. :)

[LOCSmiley]

g'day boyz fancy seeing y'all in here. so it went well did it? aaron what styles do you play exactly?

[LOCSmiley]

shweet i'm a virgin - like these ratings better ;D but then again anything is better then nard

[Lotus]

Is the promoter of this nite also the manager of Black Cat White Cat?

... this venue normally serves as an European-Style Cafana with live international music hence why the foray into a club nite may be a little rocky at first. With Aaron's involvement though i'm sure things will get off the ground.

oh and hi LOCSmiley - u feeling a little lost today??? ;)

[Stimpy]

Well I checked it out last night, and I really like the place. Its quite classy the chill out area has some comfy lounges and the dance floor is killer.

The staff are also very friendly, however watch out for the far side and the little sign above the door that states NOT ADMITTANDCE. Unlucky for me it is that small I didnt even c it.

DJ Aaron played some killer trax, and I think a good night was enjoyed by all.

8-)

why do u ask oh wise lotus have we crossed paths before


and by the way the answer is yes - feeling very lost at the moment? GFN

[LOCSmiley]

damn dawg

i just looked at your profile lotus to get a clue and found out something shweet

you and i have the same birthday ;D

are you a monkey too?

[Lotus]

Me no monkey, LOCSmiley - am dragon ;) A Virgo Dragon is an interesting combination and perhaps why I was given the title of "nasty as $#*& women's officer" at a recent AGM u attended :D

C U at BTM?

[DjAARON]

Oddy..... Maybe you should have phoned them to find out. Communication is a 2 way street. Im sure you are a busy person, and don't have time to sit around all night waiting to play, but as they say...... the answer is only a phone call away.

LOC - I play a bit of everything if I get the chance ( not all in the same set ) My main style is trance, but I also love playing house and progressive.

Lotus - Thanks for the vote of confidence. Give us a few weeks and if all goes well we will have the place pumping!

Beekayz - Musical format?? What musical format?;) That's what we're going to sort out over the next couple of weeks.

[LOCSmiley]

if y'all have two rooms me thinks you need deep house my boy;D

well i will need you then aaron, not sure what night yet though mate.

sorry lotus, monkeys are much more fun then dragons. :lol: we are cheeky little ****s :p i wont be at BTM cos of study committments but next week i shall be there.
we will see you at motion without a doubt as it is the first GNFC social event and as its women's officer ya better be there to pull us rowdy boys into line.:offchops:

[Dorsai]

*Dorsai walks in and nods to DjARRON, LOCSmiley, Beekayz and Lotus*

Evening...er Morning all

Nice to meet you Oddy.

Sounds like this event could be a good replacement to the now defunct progressive night at RR. Now that I know about it I will endevour to see you all there next Friday.

[DjAARON]

Howdee Dorsai. That's what we are hoping. There is a lack of good entertainment on Friday nights, and Black Cat White cat has the capacity and set up to provide a great night for heaps of punters. At a guess I think it would hold 600 plus, and that's with seating for about 100. Without the seats I think it would hold 900 or so.

What was the venue before it was Black Cat, White Cat??

[DjAARON]

The venue was a dance studio before the current owners got it. I think the sleaze ball was held there one year.

[Jypster]

Dorsai - you can also check out Fabric once a month at Skylab for your progressive fix. Next time is the Birthday so will be big!

But yeah, twas a shame that RR booted all it's promoters and DJs, but blessing in diguise, I think anyway, because even though Fabric's only once a month, the venue's a lot nicer and more friendly than RR was.

[lucky]

lucky waves

there seems to be a few familiar faces around here at the moment is that cos the other place is closed?

can vouch for fabric too.

:offchops: <----- i just wanted to use this

[Logik]

Aaron... are you looking for a CD only DJ by any chance? :blush:

You'll also be pleased to know that I finally BOUGHT my first vinyl on saturday. DJ Cyber v Moshic - Asian Love.

Bless those people at Sanity Dance Arena and their bargain boxes.

For those interested there's some great tracks being thrown out for $5... incl. moshic, pole folder and tigerhook.

When did it CLOSE?

Hey... we're always busy!! :meh:

[lucky]

ahhhh, just temporary im sure.:tripping:

i do like the icons here more ... :lol:

[Michaela]

Great to see heaps of new faces in here! Hi to everyone :):)

[LOCSmiley]

i'm feeling homesick :meh:

*thinks about hijacking this thread so that he feels more at home. then remembers that his mumma taught him that he should always show great respect to any place that welcomed him as a visitor.*

bummer :(

back to work i suppose wish meks and seros would hurry up:mad:

I guess it is just about making the most of the situation :)

[Jypster]

*lol* LOC, calm down...I'm sure it'll be back up soon.....maybe it's because they know that students like you and i should actually have our butts in working mode instead of wasting time online! JYP SAYS GO DO WORK!:p

Hmmm, should take my own advice but struggling to be interested at the moment.{:-(

[LOCSmiley]

its hard to take your own advice

[Jypster]

That's why someone else should take it - you perhaps?;)

[LOCSmiley]

but law of succession is just soooooooooooooooooooo interesting. my god i can't wait to be a lawyer.........not:lol:

[Dorsai]

Jypster: Thanks for the heads up but I was planning on going anyway. I dont think the boys would be happy with me if i didn't make it, especially after all the nagging for my Fabric Card. I was actually at the last Fabric at Skylab and we had a couple of conversations throughout the night if my memory serves me correctly :blush:

[PaulHamon]

So where's my Fabric card, Mal?

[DjAARON]

The things mentioned by people that were wrong with Friday nights at BCWC in this thread are about to be fixed, so stay tuned to ITM to hear about some BIIIG changes to the friday night format. Also look out for new flyers that should be out in the next week or so.

A promotion team has been enlisted to sort the night out, and things are already getting underway.

LOC - you seemed to do a pertty good job of hijacking my thread anyway. Thanx. ;)

[PaulHamon]

Got to tell us more than this...

[DjAARON]

When the time is right. ;)

I don't want to say too much because things like the format of the night etc etc were only agreed on last night, and there are more meetings to be had before things are finalised.

[FABROCK]

So where's my Fabric card, Mal?

Honourary Fabric membership coming right up. Even if you've never been to one of our shows ;)

Pity about RR, but trust me, the progressive scene in Adelaide is better off without it.

Greetings to all the other crew hanging around here. Good luck with the night, Aaron. Good to see some diversity in the crews promoting shows in this city.

[PaulHamon]

It's not that I don't want to go... It's just that you won't pay to fly me down :(

[LOCSmiley]

just trying to reduce the friction baby;D

got room for a house dj bug man?

[DjAARON]

LOC - Am I bug man? Are you talkin about my avatar on the other forum? What sort of house? Commercial..... maybe. The line up will consist of mainly 'name' DJs, but the line up isn't 100% confirmed yet. We aren't going to be trying to 'educate the public' with boundary pushing music or anything like that. We just want everyone there to have fun.

[Lotus]

when djaaron says its under control, it's under control;

u should see the way this man lights a fire - philosophically and literally - it's always under control :lol: :lol:

[DjAARON]

That fire lighting was a joint effort Lotus! I cant take all the credit for it. But yes, everthing is under control.

I have revised my previous estimate on how many people would fit in the club aslo..... It is now 450 people with the seating there, and 600 without. The place always looks a little smaller the second time you go there. It's still f***n big though.

[PaulHamon]

600 is half the legal size of Heaven...

[Lotus]

450 is more than enough. love the venue, keep it intimate! ;)

[DjAARON]

It's pretty hard to judge things like crowd sizes (when the crowd isn't there). I guess when we fill the place up for the first time pretty soon we'll see how many people really do fit in it.;)

[MrPlod]

Hey there djAARON, Lucky, LOCsmiley, Lotus, Jypster, Dorsai fancy seeing you guys here.....(i am also getting homesick). Anyway sounds like this is definately worth while checking this place out....will be trying my best to get there this friday after work..........:D

[Aki_1]

Extended fishing trip has everyone wondering what to do with their time so we all find somewhere else to waste it....maybe i should start to look for some meaningful direction in my life:p :meh:

[MrPlod]

:lol: @ Aki.........so do you know what direction that will be yet????????:lol: :tripping: :P ;)

[goatboy]

Aki: Weren't we trying to find the meaning to life sometime yesterday morning in thefly's backyard?!?


BRA-SIL!BRA-SIL!BRA-SIL!BRA-SIL!BRA-SIL!BRA-SIL!

And djAARON: 600!!! **** me dead!!! :-0

[lucky]

hey goatboy ... you know brasil were very very lucky;) :tripping: :meh:

[goatboy]

Like the headlines should have read:

Brazil can, Olive Khan-t!

Luck had nothing to do with it. This was destiny and redemption for 4 years ago. At the end of the day the best team one, and this was a victory not just for Brazil but for football in general.

[lucky]

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

you make me laugh goatboy ... its too easy too wind you up.

would you like me to admit that they deserved this cup?

well i think your probably right but im not going to admit it.

[goatboy]

Pfft!!! :p ;) :p

Let's put it in the diary. Germany 2006. Well now that both teams automatically qualify, lets get behind the Socceroos and hope Soccer Australia make the most of this World Cup and find a way to stay solvent!

[drwahwah]

Goatboy The winners no longer automatically qualify for the next fianls so the Socceroos could end up playing Brazil to qualify if Brazil plays as bad as it did in the qualifying matches.

The problem with Australia qaulifying is that they would probably play no better than Saudi Arabia did this time. At least Australia should make it to the final of the Rugby world cup next year even if the All Blacks decimate them in the final.

[goatboy]

Ain't that a bitch! Oh well, could end up being a good thing with the squad having to stay competitive for 4 years instead of relying on automatic entry. Germany 2006 could end up being very exciting with many footballing powers havig something to prove next time around (Argentina, France, Italy, Spain, etc.) and a chance to see if the success of the smaller nations really was just a fluke.

[Naked]

I disagree, Ronaldo should've been given a red card for that offensive haircut! OMG it was shocking.

Germany really deserved to win in my eyes :(

[LOCSmiley]

i meant big man

you scratch mine and i'll scratch yours
i don;t just play deep house - that would go down real well at empire....not

i also play funky stuff - but suppose it isn;t always that commercial.

names, schnames.. get the young blood coming through...thats my opinion;D

[DjAARON]

Goatboy - Yeah it's licensed for around 450 people, but that's because of the fire escape. You have to go down stairs to get out, and the size of the license is limited by the size of the fire escape. The club would fit 600 people without a problem though.

LOC - It's fine to say "names, schnames....get the young blood coming through" but young blood do not pull crowds, and when you're trying to fill a 450 person venue on a friday every week it's not really a practical thing to say.
That's not to say that you'll never get to play, but first things first..... I need to get the night working. Then after it has settled and hopefully built a steady crowd we will have some guest DJs and stuff. You know what they say..... business before pleasure.
;)

[PaulHamon]

All fixed...

[DjAARON]

Thanx Paul.

[kafalicious]

luv the venue, esp the balcony - picture a warm summer evening on the balcony with some groovy tunes and everyone in full party mode... luvverly! :blush:

[DjAARON]

Getting the balcony sorted out is another thing that we are aiming for. I think it has been used before, but it would only be used in summer. I think the owners want to do something like the Heritage / Jimmy Rowe's has with the pull down plastic to enclose it for use in winter.:D

[pINc]

Ok so I've heard the venue is fantastic & was chatting to a dj friend who plays there & was definitely praising the place...Now you say the format is changing but are the current djs staying?

[drwahwah]

Slips into leathers and turns very bright light on and aims towards Djaaron ja djaran tell us your manifesto your secret plans for club domination and think before you talk as ard haus will bring you nothing but pain :-0 :-0 :?

[DjAARON]

pINc - We haven't decided anything yet, nor have we spoken to any of the current DJs, so I don't think it would be very nice for me to discuss their jobs with you before we discuss it with them.

DrWahWah - I should really start a separate topic, because the start of this one was when I had only seen the club very quickly, and had no say in the format of the night. That has changed, and so will the format.
If you are refering to the start of the thread when I said that the music format was house trance and maybe hard house (can't remember exactly what I wrote), then no, F***K NO, hard house would not work at BCWC on a weekly friday night. I don't want to give away too much just yet, but rest assured that there will be nothing hard about it. I'll keep you posted.

[Aki_1]

Goatboy: even if i was looking for some meaning in my life in theflys back yard, there's no way i could have found it.....i couldn't even find my own damn feet :tripping: :lol: :meh:
i've never been so bloody confused about anything in my whole life, and there was nothing to be confused about:lol:

[LOCSmiley]

aki and goatboy me confused.

drwahwah in relation to your rugby comment my friend - fat chance ;D the wallabies are going to dominate once more

[drwahwah]

Loc Smiley - I was wondering how my comments got past without comment but perhaps you'll change your mind after next weeks game after all sailig and rugby are the only sports we are any good at so we need to own them :P

Yeah... but it must have a magic number written on the licence!!

[LOCSmiley]

what about sheep chasing drwahwah?;D

just joking

just cos it is the only sport y'all are good at doesn;t mean ya need to own them. i'm sure we could find you guys another sport to play. get Lomu doing figure skating prehaps? or maybe ballet?

you boys are going down.

did you ever play gooddoc?
by the way hows mile high going?

[DjAARON]

What I should have said was that the 'magic number' is 450ish, but I think what determines that number is the amount/size of fire exits, not the actual floor space. I don't think it would be over crowded at it's licenced capacity, unlike some other venues.

It's based... on floor space, toilets and fire exits...

[DjAARON]

Yeah, but at BCWC the only thing stopping it from having a larger license is the fire escape. There are more than enough toilets, and more than enough floor space, but the back fire exit is down a set of stairs which would need to be made larger for the licensed capacity to be made larger.

chasing! its all about the ****ing mate :-O :lol:

I can smell a little wager here if your that keen :p

I played flanker but I'm long retired ;)

Mile high is good but I have had 2 weeks off but back this Friday from 3 am - pop down sometime

[LOCSmiley]

given that my last paper is due this friday and thge liklihood of me sleeping before work (midday) is minimal then i finish at 9 and start djing at 10 till 3 friday i will pass out

but as i said my last paper is due and i am planning on having a corker at motion after my set so i will most probably wonder down to the other end and pop in.

[Syk Syd]

UMMMM! back to the thread!!!!!
went to black cat white cat friday week ago...
great venue, just needs a few more heads there & it'll be rockin'

[Naked]

The club has a cool size, but needs more ppl. And what kind of music is it on sat/fri nights?

[pINc]

Its probably been said 100 times before but what is the current line up & entry details etc?

[Beekayz]

Entry is through the door ;)

Not being a smart-ass for a second. I think that at the moment there is no entry cost.
Friday night is a mixed format but mainly house, trance & some breaks. Saturday is a European club.
DJs on Friday include Remedy, Lynton, Aaron and Cheeky B

[DirtyBigDingo]

I love cats...they're so sexy...the way they strut their stuff...just askin' for it they are.

[DjAARON]

Yeah, and Black Cat White Cat is the sexiest of them all!!

The crowd is growing in size every week. There were heaps more people there on the friday just gone and everyone seemed to really enjoy it.

[VaLaNti]

DJAARON I got to hand it to you buddy that you are absolutely right. This club is really good for a recently opened venue. I dj there on saturday nights. Friday nights go off there with the excellent lineup of djs of house, progressive and trance, and saturday goes off too with the best in euro hardcore dance.

adelaide is slowly shapping its clubbing scene... but so much work to be done yet...:tripping:

[DjAARON]

Hi VaLaNti8-)

Don't think I've met you yet, but Im filling in for Lynton next saturday, so Im sure I'll see you then.

I think BCWC is the best looking new club in Adelaide at the moment. There's just nothing else like it. 10 metre hight ceilings, great decor and tonnes of potential. Hopefully we can all work together to get the place pumping every night!!

[Chrysoula]

A group of us are coming down to Adeliade next weekend for the Auto-Salon and a big weekend in Adelaide too. Think we will have to come and have a suss on Friday night. It's always nice to go somewhere different for a change, see what other clubs are getting up to. It's awesome that there is such a diverse club culture in Adelaide, and come summer time when things warm up a balcony is a definate advantage..

Seeya there next week

[DjAARON]

Looking forward to it Chrysoula! Make sure you come and say hi.
