LISTINGS

GLASGOW Fridays

I Crash at the Cotton Club. 11pm—3.30am. £4 (£3 with ticket). Popular and busy, with a wide variety of club sounds, particularly crossover going down so well just now.

I Joy at the Sub Club. 11pm—5am. £3.50. Scotland's best night for house? Certainly a contender. Wild music in a highly charged atmosphere, great visuals & lighting and all the best young haircuts & clothes in town.

I Radio City at the Mayfair (Cameo Suite). 10.30pm-3am. £2. Stuck in a time warp no more . . . Radio City will stillbe playing some psychedelic favourites. but mixed with Prince, JesusJones, S‘Express. Soul 11 Soul. Disco meets Garage.

I Rumble at Joe Paparazzi.

11pm—3.30am. £2.50 (£1 student). The only dance alternative to Joy for my money and should appeal more to students, skinflints & non-disco freaks I Shag at Fury Murrys. 11pm—5am.£1.50. 24 hour party students! Do you hate club music, but like dancing to everything from Prince to the Monkees? Never mind, so do hundreds of other people. go along this Friday for a 6-hour-long mass therapy! I Stetson at The Shelter. 8 June only. £2.50 (concessions available). Glasgow‘s first country club, hosted by local band Peach County and featuring the Eirene Houston Band. This is the New Country sound mind you. which means Blues, Jazz, Rock ‘n' Roll, Soul. Cajun, Western and traditional Irish music.

Saturdays

I Atlantis at Sub Club. llpm—Sam. £5. Atlantis has been doing the biz (as they say in the club world) recently and doubled? trebled? quadrupled? the numbers to boot. The Face says it‘s the place to be, and The List in its infinite wisdom agrees, but what about M8?

I Atsimevu at The Shelter. 9pm—midnight. Not so much a club as such, as Atsimevu are a l4-piece band in residency, but the audience are being invited to party asthey wish. . .jig.reel.bop,sing. . .‘ Afro—(‘aledonian could be the best way to describe their sound and their instruments include african drums. congos, bells, Scottish pipes. flutes. accordions. . .

I The Choice 1 1pm—5am. £6. The most exclusive venue on Saturdays has all the

new fashion collections by the likes of Hamnett, Basi and Gaultier on video for you to drool over. Make sure you‘re dressed up to the nines as well or you could be disappointed. Upfront dance.

I Detect at Fury Murrys. l 1pm—3.30am. £3. Though it ain‘t a personal favourite I can see the appeal. The students come in their droves for indie, indie/dance crossover, dance. Not trendy. but good clean fun.

I Sechaba's Upstairs at Nico‘s. 9pm-Late. ‘Enjoy. Relax & Dance tothe Sounds of Africa and World Music . . .‘ This sounds good, he says reading the leaflet — The Sechaba (roughly translated means Nation) project takes place from 22 September to 7 October and consists ofa festival and a ‘5 day International Conference of Cultural Resistance to Apartheid.’ It‘s also the name ofa fortnightly club which will build up to the festival in September. The dates to look out for in June are the 9th and the 23rd

I UFO at Tin Pan Alley. I 1pm—Sam. £5. 5am Eternal — seriously upfront in the house stakes on one floor; and seriously groovy on the other, with 52 playing funk, rap, soul, etc. Very popular with young people with excessive trouser widths. Steven Sleepman, Mr 30 incher himself must be pleased.

I The Power at the Sub Club. 11pm—-3.30am. £2. Harri‘s still trying his hardest to promote reggae on the dancefloors, with some degree of success. After a slow start to the evening it really picks up around 1am. and this could be the club for the summer.

EDINBURGH Fridays

I Bealhox Teviot Debating Hall 9pm—2am. (Students and Guests only.) FREE. Pseudo-trendy student disco playing the kind of slick. soul-boy fare that appeals to Edinburgh‘s sideburned fraternity. Downstairs however, in the intimate surroundings of the Park Room. another (better) club takes

place, featuring the relentless pulse of indie dance crossover.

I Dream The Mission. llpm—3am. £3 (£1 admission tickets circulating). Now a Slam-free zone, but all the better for it.

I Floral Riot Network. 2 10.30pm—4am. £2. Experience an indie explosion ofsonic flower grooves at what is currently Edinburgh's busiest club. From Primal Scream to The Pastels, from The Smiths to The Stone Roses. a carefully considered playlist is ensuring a packed dancefloor. I Green Banana Club Potterrow.

I U.F.O The Venue. 12pm—4am. £2. Ok, so we haven‘t rated this very highly in the past. But it seems to be gettingbetter. Upfront cuts ranging from indie dance to house to techno, with a Euro/US hardcore influence. Hyper-bass. sound effects and sampling.

I Marleys Shady Lady‘s. 10.30pm—3am. £2. Living up to its name the club plays mostly MOR reggae to a mostly older crowd. A smaller crowd too, oflate, though with the supposed upsurge in popularity of this kind of music you never know what might happen.
