Yeah, it's an amazing club and part of a new forward thinking movement in Melbourne to support deep music in all its forms. It's a place where you will hear anything from Nick Holder to Nelly in the one night. We also have young promoters touring the likes of Alton Miller and Recloose in coming weeks at various venues. The film Queen Of The Damned with Aaliyah was shot in that alleyway outside Honkytonks and we always think of her when we walk through. They had Mark Grant from Chicago play their first birthday this last weekend and it was off the hook. Patrick HAF played a five hour set there a couple of weeks back and, yes, Philip played a really interesting set on Sunday - his big first Australian gig but intentionally very underground - which showed some of his influences and was really cutting edge music-wise and fun. The feedback was terrific. The interior is wonderful and it was actually renovated by their owners with their own hands.
