Ive been to several events there over the last 12 months and is a great intimate venue for dance music - never had a bad night, and there have been some great DJs
Thanks Ash, we've got some great new events and promoters coming on board over the next few months too, so plenty of new events over this next year
I've been to a lot of the local dj nights (hardhouse/techno/hardstyle/dub-step), Bryan Kearney, and a Burlesque night from what I can recollect. Id compare as a better version of the cosmic, in terms of having a good party rave. My next night out's at the Dig on Sun I think. Not sure what else Ill be going to yet but Sasha will probs be 1 of them.
Kool - more techno please ha - shame I missed the Raul Mezcolanza night you had on a fair while back now. When the bar staff are upselling jager bombs you know its gona be a good night, ha.
Had a few enjoyable nights in there, but they need to turn some fucking lights off around that bar/seating area. It's like partying in the home lighting section of B&Q.
lol. We've changed the lighting around that area over the last couple of months, so not so bright now
No disrespect to what Kerry and Vicky are doing but the cosmic on a good night is comfortably the best small club in the city for me, only maybe whq comes to mind as being in the same bracket.
no disrespect to what graham is saying but the cosmic on a good night WAS probably the best small club in the city(PAST TENSE) it remains to be seen whether its refurb delivers the goods. FOR ME cosmic isnt a patch on what it was when the likes of freaky dancing, habit, curves and junior g were running there on rotation
Admittedly it was in need of a refurb (never realised how much until I played an early set there for the first time and saw it with the lights on...) but in terms of the space, lay out, sound etc its still probs the best in the city, definitely either there or the upstairs in whq for the size. Fair point about it not being the club it was a few years ago, certainly line up wise. It hasnt had the big nights consistently over the past couple of years aside from Jaunt's parties there, know theres a couple more pencilled in later in the year so look forward to checking it out after the refurb and seeing which other promoters get involved there.
I agree with your comment in response to ash like cosmic has been without doubt the best small club in newcastle for a good while but for me the people who run it p*ss about with it far too much and in times gone by there have been far too many people putting their oar inwith the running of the place. Hopefully the refurb gives it a new lease of life but there was something about the dingyness of upstairs i kind of liked
In its heyday it was quality - especially during the Holden/Magda/Voorn years, but I don't think its what it was by a long shot. I agree - WHQ is up there too for an intimate venue
congrats on the birthday vicky/kerry. - regarding cosmic has it had another refurb so its no longer wall to wall chipboard? haha
