Thai Indie Music Night At Club Culture

[wave]

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but, some friends are putting on 4 thai indie bands at club culture next to Phayathai BTS. They are trying to create a proper live rock based night for bands rather than the shopping mall experience that seems to be the norm.

It costs 300 baht including one drink

Should be some fun

Have a look at myspace.com/mindthegapbkk

The night itself seems to be good, but what are the reports so far on Club Culture? I nearly walked in once, but it seemed very unfriendly at the entrance and way too "mass entertainment"-oriented for it to be any good.

I've been Club Culture a couple of times and really like it. It's run by the same people who used to have Astra on RCA and Cafe Democ near Khao San Road.

It's an old Thai ballroom and they've kept the interior original rather than modernising it, it's very different from other venues and not at all "mass entertainment" I found refreshingly different.

I see...when you've been there, were there many people? I'll probably give this gig a try, sounds quite appealing Thanks for posting!

club culture it's more a DJ and electronic dance music place. wide range of different styles and some very good international guests as well. but not boring mainstream so you could put it also in a "indie" context. nothing "mass entertainment"-oriented, and they have a really dancefloor and it is not full of tables for the whisky mixer drinker. more western style.

I've been to bed a bunch of times and I have to agree with popcorn. Had a look at Soma, and it looks great! I had no idea that there were many people that have even heard of some of the bands they listed. I'll check it out next free night I have, thanks.

Bed is hit and miss, but mostly hit I'd say. Saturday nights seem to have the best music - the white room has a good crowd with the uplifting trance music. I'd avoid all "models nights" like the plague though (Wednesday I think). Bed has a good mix of people that's hard to find elsewhere...people from all different countries, some international Thais, expats, tourists but also the freelancers and ladyboys that follow the farang.

I went to State Tower last night to see how busy it would be on a Saturday night - VERY busy and great for pre-club drinks. New bar called Breeze is purely stunning. Now if they had a good DJ and dancefloor up there it might well be one of the best clubs in the world...

Thanks to any one who made it down to club culture for Mind The Gap.

Really fun night with four great bands on. The next one is booked for July 4th.

Same format, with 4 live bands and guest DJ's.

Photos and video can bee seen here www.myspace.com/tabascoband
