My clubbing heyday was the mid to late 90s. First records were late 70s punk, early teens was Metal gigs, early 20s just interested in the football away days…then my circle of friends altered ever so slightly, my leisure choices also, and clubs became a big part of my weekend
Sounds like a very, very similar story to mine! Ended the 90s being a weekly visitor to Voodoo in Liverpool. The best and the messiest times. It all started with the Mondays for me too. Going to see them on the Pills Thrills and Bellyaches tour and being blown away by them and utterly bemused by support act Donovan. I blame the drugs. Thanks for the memories. And the music!
Can't relate a touch too young and way too socially awkward to ever enjoy clubbing. I will share that my first gig (and stagedive, moshpit) was waaaay up north in the infamous stronghold of Big (Crude) Oil known as Fort McMurray--it was Dayglo Abortions at the Nistawayou Friendship Centre. Bonehead wasn't singing--mono, I think-- that afternoon (all ages) but I had my board and my homies and it was pure slice of small town Canada in the 90s in a different way.
