Disco Lights And A Glint In The Eye Of Dancing Girls At The Candybox Night

London

Monday @ Thrash

Trash was ahead of the curve as it kept people on the dancefloor with a beat as it filled the gap between “bands” and electro DJs. The club night, headed by Erol Alkan who was bored with Brit Pop launched 1997 for all the weirdos who needed somewhere to let their hair down, whether that was a bowl cut, a fringe or a wig, it was cutting edge in every way. For 10 years Trash was found in Soho every Monday, initially at Plastic People before bowing out at The End and it influenced music, art, fashion and culture more than others.

Bands like Gossip, Bloc Party and Klaxons performed before Erol and DJ’s played a mix of electro and pop along with indie remixes. It was the first place to play House Of Jealous by The Rapture, they became the tastemakers, labels would deliver the first pressings of songs to them before anyone else. The Strokes visited on their first London trip, it was London’s Studio 54 and like London’s new romantic HQ, Blitz Club, Trash had its regulars who’d go all out and dress up, known as the Trash Kids who controlled the door policy, no suits or casual wear allowed, make the effort or go elsewhere. 

Attendees were varied, from A-lister celebs and NME cover stars to genre-head-fuck Peaches and legends such as Lemmy and Grace Jones. The dawn of electroclash in 2000 changed what Trash was about, after championing a mix of guitars, pop and dance in its first 3 years, the arrival of Fisherspooner and Chicks On Speed made sense to what the club had been banging on about. The night's mix of bands and beats inspired Klaxons to do the same.

Tuesday @ White Heat

One of the most important (and the longest running (it is still going!)) indie disco is White Heat which started in 2003 in Mayfair, offering a distraction from dance music littering London late nights at the time. The club has adapted with underground culture and its move to Madame Jojo’s in April 2005 saw it become the heart of Soho every Tuesday. 

Everyone from Lorde to Klaxons, Adele, Florence & The Machine, the XX and Jamie T, played White Heat before they went huge. Founder Matty was always ahead of the game for live music, he was more than just the promoter, when he discovered new talent that he believed in, he’d support them in every way possible, such as creating the White Heat record label for them. There’s no profit in selling 7”’s and the club night was no money-making machine, beers cost £2.50, which was always helpful when you’re living on your student loan!  

One legendary moment at White Heat was when The Pun Lovin’ Criminals played, a covers band featuring Fred MacPherson (Spector, Ox.Eagle.Lion.Man, Les Incompetents), Dev Hynes (Blood Orange, Lightspeed Champion, Test Icicles) and more played a covers set of indie classics, Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys) joined in for Reptilia by The Strokes.  

White Heat had to leave Madame JoJo’s after the venue had its license revoked following an altercation nearby. This coincided around the same time that other central London venues were being shut down, either for Cross Rail or gentrification. It is hard to get a drink in Soho past midnight these days, in the 2000’s there were late bars and club nights for everybody which opened until the early hours every night of the week. That culture has been pushed out to East London, away from the tourists and the people with money. It seems crazy that you could pay £5 to get into a club night, watch a band that will be huge in a couple of months' time then another fiver gets you a couple of beers in. What a time. 

Thursday @ Candybox or Smash ‘n’ Grab

Thursday’s belonged to Candybox at Moonlighting but there isn’t anyone who can compete with Mairead Nash and Tabitha Denholm, better known as the Queens of Noize when it comes to “living it”. The pair have been promoters, DJs, presenters, they have had their own label and managed artists, the duo have been key players in the scene since 2002. They found the best new bands and put them on at 333 in Shoreditch and the Barfly in Camden but it was their arrival at Punk in Soho on Thursday’s in 2007 with Smash & Grab that got everyone talking. It quickly attracted A-listed like Kate Moss and Daisy Lowe on the dancefloor, Mark Ronson on the decks and bands would play without an announcement. People would queue for hours to get in and raid the dress up box while paparazzi would be waiting outside to snap the famous faces stumble out. After establishing itself at Punk the night had at residencies at various nightlife haunts across the capital. 

Friday @ Club NME

Friday nights in London belonged to Club NME at Koko in Camden, a venue too beautiful for teens on the piss but in 2005 it became the destination for 12 years. The main room had DJs playing the generic indie hits (Mr Brightside, Predict A Riot, etc…) then upstairs was the Frog room with DJs playing something a little cooler. As it had the NME link, each week a band would play, the next week they would be in the charts. 

We’ll come on to Saturday’s @ Frog later…

Other influential nights include:

Young & Lost Club

While Queens of Noize were starting up their night in Shoreditch, two teenagers Nadia Dahlawi and Sara Jade launched their own fanzine, Pyrrha Girls. The pair met at boarding school and bonded over The Strokes which led to them starting the fanzine and one of the first print outlets to cover Razorlight and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. 

This gave them the foundations to start something “real”, the Young & Lost Club nights where they would book emerging talent including the likes of The XX, Klaxons, Friendly Fires, Jamie T and Laura Marling before they went big then in 2005 they launched the Young & Lost Club record label.

 In ten years it would release music from many unknown bands who would go on to do huge things including Bombay Bicycle Club, Bastille and Noah & The Whale as well as scene favourites Larrikin Love, Vincent Vincent & The Villans, Johnny Flynn and The Virgins. It started with a 7”, Vincent Vincent & The Villans single, Blue Boy and each release would be sold out before they came out. After building up a relationship with Noah & the Whale, Young & Lost Club took a bigger step as they released their debut album, Peaceful The World Lays Me Down in August 2008 which spent 6 weeks in the top 10. 

Dollyrockers

Laura Marsh, frontwoman Screaming Ballerinas launched her own night Dolly Rockers. “Me and my best mate Eloise wanted to create a night that had our favourite new bands in a more fun setting than other nights that were going on at the time. We had ‘confetti girls’ throwing ripped up glitter and newspaper in the air and people dressed insanely. It was the fucking best. It was a way of us having as much fun as possible in our own world.”

Trying to get everything and the game hates it

[patricia-taxxon]

the thread with tom macdonald is extremely clear, like he was a failed rapper who pivoted to the classic white hack shit of making songs criticizing rap culture, that's his first batch of hits like dear rappers, helluvit, and whiteboy . and THEN when whiteboy went omega viral he took on that label of cancelled pariah at lightspeed and made conservative rap, and slowly got familiar with the grab bag of other whackjob shit he'd have to start spouting in order to stay ahead.

there's a difference between his initial success singles and what he'd eventually get stuck making, and that's the point where i feel like he was at his most honest. that sniveling centrist pablum, offended at being called racist but not yet delving into outright denial of racism. like, i remember checking in on him every once in a while and thinking "damn, he's saying that out loud now?" the first outright transphobic bars, the conspiracy theories, the fuckin "see who you're not allowed to criticize" fascist meme on Sheeple, tom macdonald is memed as a maga rapper but i believe he was a genuine right-leaning fencesitter dude who just took on more and more of the candybox of fascist lines until he was no longer recognizable as an artist or a voice. his songs are just strings of maga word association now.

Han Yoojin. What can I say about him. What should I say about him. Han Yoojin. An ordinary F class. Perfect Caregiver. Han Yoohyun's older brother. Dodam Breeding Center's director. Honey. Candybox. The Super F class. Killer of Transcendents. Sung Hyunjae's partner. Savior of the world. Nuturer of the Source. They're all correct. But no, hyjs much more simple than that. An older brother who loves his dongsaeng. An older brother that lost his dongsaeng. A man who loved too much. Who lost his most important existence and is now desperately trying to hold on to what's left between his hands. A person who can't bear to let go. And so he doesn't. He drags himself through the mud. Through broken arms and legs. Through blood sweat and tears. So he won't lose anything again. He'll hang on to the ones he love, even if they're older, stronger, better than him in everyway. And after 3 deaths and 3 lives. The most beautiful spear was born. He was finally able to say it. To the brother he lost. My younger brother Han Yoohyun, I love you.

Everything Is Temporary These Days, Might As Well Go Out For A Third Night In A Row

London

This was a time when there were gigs and indie discos every night of the week which brought like-minded people together and scenes organically formed at 2am after a few too many £2 pints in central London. Youthful energy and naivety played a pivotal role as it was easy to get into clubs underage, it was fluid. While the social scene was hectic, the internet played a huge role to that too. 

One of the key factors to London’s vibrant nightlife is the night bus. It might not always be the most pleasant ride of your life but it meant that you can get from the party to a bed in one piece for a couple of quid without having to leave early and miss out on a round of drinks. Everyone has at least one night bus horror story. The N29 was carnage. 

London’s scenes organically developed because of the enthusiasm by the leaders. They often centered around a venue or a community but the same faces and bands would mingle across the city. Bands who broke out of the scene and enjoyed a bit of success would remember their roots and help others break out too. It was easy to see when it started to become inauthentic and that was the beginning of the end, but we’ll come to ‘landfill indie’ and the corporate side of a fiercely independent scene later.  

Blaine Harrison (Mystery Jets) “In London at that time we were spoilt. We started the week at Erol Alkan’s club, Trash, which was the spiritual home of electroclash and where bands like Yeah yeah Yeahs and The Rapture played some of their first London shows. That was on a Monday night, which just felt like the ultimate political statement: A giant ‘fuck you’ to the 9-5. On Tuesday you had White Heat at Madame Jojos where you’d have the hot bands of the week playing around the strippers pole and £1 bottles of beer.  

On a Wednesday there was Afterskool at the LSU which was a bit too student indie disco for my liking. Candybox on a Thursday was great, the venue was like a mini Studio 54 with floor-to-ceiling mirrors and speckled-coloured carpet to hide the pools of puke. At the weekend you had the Queens of Noize night ‘Smash and Grab’ which always had a friendly vibe as it had a much higher ratio of girls to boys. And then the short-lived ‘Frog’ on a Saturday night at the Astoria 2 which was kind of like the ultimate indie night. £3 cocktails, three bars over two floors and a secret headliner each week which would usually be whichever band was in the ‘Radar’ section of the NME that week. You’d see Razorlight one week, Kaiser Chiefs the next… 

There should have been an award for whoever managed to attend all of them in a row. Although if there was one it would have just gone to my mate Ronnie Joice, for those who know who he is.”
