    If you haven't seen Blood Duster at the Espy you haven't lived.

    The public bar in North Melbourne was next level, with the Tote etc.

          When I first started going to gigs there was the Thursday night crawl
          Free bands at the Esplanade, the Prince of Wales and the Crystal Ballroom every Thursday night. Cosmic Psychos, I Spit On Your Gravy, Slaughtermen, Olympic Sideburns and Painters and Dockers. Great nights
          They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                They sure were. The favourite times of my life. Great venues, great bands and plentiful amounts of cheap good quality amphetamine.

                No sleep til Sunday!

                  We would have crossed paths, i did see blood duster.

                  Punters club, the Ev, the Club, POW etc there was a lot of great spots for live music in the 90s.
                  The curse is dead.

                    Users Club, the Old Greek Theatre (saw the Pogues there ) the Corner, the Richmond Club, the Palace, Continental Club, the Arthouse, Central Club.

                    But the Venue on the lower Esplanade on St Kilda next to the Esplanade hotel was the best place in Melbourne to see a band.

                    We were so lucky to have all those venues and bands back in the day

                      I was at the Tote last week. It’s back to full Meet Me in the Pit status. Espy sucks and has my entire adult life.

                        Ditto, but in the 2000s (D!F!F!)

                        Gentrification simply pushes venues out a bit more, bands can't afford sharehouses close to those gig places (although the Tote & The Bedigo still do their bit for Collingwood).

                        Bailey Smith wouldn't be caught dead in any of these places I'd guess.

                                DEVASTATING news for both him and the club. Also, what does this mean for his contract?
