Cellardoor: The Club

About Me

Inspired by a combination of the film Donnie Darko and no where to go on Saturday nights that played music we liked (back then), Martin & Marc decided to start up the monthly Cellardoor Club in Oct 2005.

The music is a left-of-centre three decade spanning mix of Indie and Alternative with out-of-nowhere oddities dropped in from time to time.

THE CELLARDOOR IS OPEN ON THE FIRST SATURDAY OF EACH MONTH**Now at Cool Runnings, Melville in the Dungeon**

Check upcoming shows section for next party details
