Kensnroses Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 There is an abundance of RnB/dance style bars and clubs in Sheffield. Infact, they are the majority, which is sad. The only real place for rockers and alternative-types to go is Casbah (which is normally empty) and Corp (which is cool, but gets boring). So, ideally, I'd like to see another rock/alternative club just to give us a bit of a change from the afore-mentioned. Although, I know this has been tried and failed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kensnroses Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 And the rock crowd are generally a lot better behaved and have a lot less attitude than the dance music/clubber kind of crowd.... in my opinion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizabella Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Oh god please somewhere other than corp!! Somewhere that doesn't play the same setlist week in and week out till it actually becomes a joke! I know loads of regular corpers that go only because there's no where else... and we're a well behaved bunch, i promise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottf Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 And the rock crowd are generally a lot better behaved and have a lot less attitude than the dance music/clubber kind of crowd.... in my opinion! Could you expand on your statement please? Its jsut i have seen far far more fights in rock venues than clubbing venues over the years so i would say that thats incorrect.

Kensnroses Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Yea, the only time I've seen fights in rock venues is when (a) non-rockers have gone there just to cause trouble with the rockers (i have seen this a few times at Corporation and Casbah) and (b) when they are friendly fights, ie, moshing or hardcore dancing, which is not really fighting.... I would say the majority of trouble is caused in/outside the dance/rnb clubs by a minority of "chav"-type troublemakers. Y'know, the people who intentionally go out just to start fights and cause trouble? And the amount of abuse I have to endure off these people just for the fact I wear a leather jacket, look a bit scruffy and have long hair. Veering off the subject there, but it had to be said.

I think you're being fast and loose with your groupings together there - not all non rockers are dance fans.. Its true that you dont get much fighting at rock pubs/clubs (though i have seen a few fights and not always from "non-rockers") - but I'd say you get far less at underground dance venues - I cannot speak for R&B/bassline venues as I never go - but sady their repuatation would suggest maybe they arent so chilled... BTW Strangely I cannot recall the last time I got grief about having long hair (which I've had since I was 16.. quite some time ago...!) in Sheffield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thats interesting mate, as i have expierenced the complete opposite when i have been out, In the specialised dance clubs (gatecrasher etc etc) i have only ever seen a couple of fights yet when i have been to rock venues in rotherham and sheffield i have sene plenty of them. Were leaving R+B clubs out of this as i agree with what you say- they attact troublemakers and idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottf Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 A proper caberet club would do well in the centre of sheffield- good food- varied acts, small booths, awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thre's loads of people who would go to that, save the nights being dotted all over the smaller venues around sheffield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
