About Me

I'm an underground Sydney night club. I've been here since the mid 70s. Over 4 decades i have a lot history - but to this day remain cutting edge. I've given many young artists that have gone on to be major acts their first shows, launches and am a regular meeting place for members of the music community and industry.
Gigs and parties happen in me - usually gigs early parties late - but the lines blur and different genres transitin nicely, sometimes clash, collide, mesh and things happen. I'm a portal for different music lovers.
So, Live music and dance music happen in side of me. I love being a venue for music and musicians, music lovers and people that want to have fun and celebrate. So, come down and see me some time... i'm on 22 bayswater road kings cross... underground and on the edge... xo candys.
