The club has been opened by James Savage, Ben Dubuisson and Dave Smeaton who between them have been responsible for a fair few of Bristol's club nights of the last 15 years from One Love to Purple Penguin to the recent NYE bash at the Metropol. James Savage and Ben Dubuisson are also responsible for the highly successful bars, The River, The North and The Park while Dave Smeaton owns and runs style shop Alterior on Park Street. They aim to use their experience to create in their own words, "a warm, unpretentious space for some of the world's finest acts to perform in a much smaller and relaxed venue than often they would play". Fridays will see We don't play, Eat the Beat, The Leisure Allstars and Seen all spinning alongside regular special guests such as Bonobo and the Nextmen. The night aims to be experimental and will be playing the more leftfield and cutting edge side of current music. Saturdays will be hosted by a set of heavyweight regular Djs on rotation which comprises Daddy G, Massive Attack frontman and renowned Dj, Boca 45, international Dj and Grand Central signee, Ben Dubuisson, Hundred Strong writer/producer and High Noon records head honcho plus Dave Smeaton and Neil Kitsell, the long standing Rainy but Funky duo. This night will serve up solid funk and party breaks mixed with
reggae, hip hop and soul. The club aims to cover all musical styles and Thursdays will see regular nights some featuring live bands, Fat Paul who runs Espionage will be hosting a rock night with live bands and Andy Smith of Portishead fame will be playing at a Northern Soul night. Wednesday will be home to Filth, the very popular cabaret and casino night from
Bath which features pole dancers and a trashy disco soundtrack.
