EdBanger

roxy

Why not copy a club in Brixton and call it Mass. Where you going? We're going to mass? I had a laugh anyway.....ah dear

Although it's sort of a relevant name in their case coz it's in a huge converted church.....hmmm.

buzzerbuckley

club venus......................

Saint-dotsie

ripping of popular telivision trends is a popular theme these days for e.g salads in the city,phoenix perk ect.although i did quite like the sonic room.
I would like to see more bands in nightclubs and not at tridiculous hours i.e. between 9 and 11 putthe djs on first then the bands that would kick a lot of ass,ye never know when all the other gigs are over people ight come to you for more.happy decorations as opposed to gloomy room,high ceilings are always nice (t.p smyths)
thaz it really.

ickle_tayto

How about something like Escape or Underground or something daft like *******...

back to front

I think you should go with classic Indie tune song names


VENUS IN FUR(S)

SUPERUNKNOWN

etc

Lunar Junkie

Yeah - how about "Atrocity Exhibition"?

Raggamuffin

The sound garden?

maybe partying would help?

renagade*

how about "ciunas" as in irish for "quiteness" . I think that would be really cool and original not to mention funny since its gonna be a rocking venue

palmic

thanks for all the names.,keep them coming send me all your address so i can send you invites to the opening night ,palmic@oceanfree.net,the special guest band on the night are a certain 3 piece who sold a million of their last album ,its a must see i wanna have real music fans at the opening instead of the usual music industry types who come down for the free bar and are never seen again...thanks mick

Saint-dotsie

Is it muse?

soundgarden are not an indie band!

How about "aja"

acquiescefc

How about a variation on the Audioslave song 'cochise' you could call it 'Nochise' or 'knochies' as in No Cheese



You would get all these trendys turning up thinking it was some top euro club with a fancy name and they wouldnt get the joke!!

Sorry

johnnynolegs

Sausage

Tyrrial

How's about : Celler Door*




*inspiration taken from Donnie Darko

11850

'Conduit'......not

johnnynolegs

Interesting 11850 why not 11811?????

Jeranimo

Club 7 Day Weekend (Probably to long) or the other reason it's a ****e name!!! even though I say so myself......

nonemoreblack

Nice 'n' Sleazy II...... after my fave haunt in Glasgow please make sure the dukebox is just as good.

Raggamuffin

jack rabbit slim's
Nausea (X anybody?)

what do you mean INDIE?
as in independent music?

the waiting room (liek that show i heard on phanotm once or twice)

****in A man... ****in A.,...

Diptheria

Shakedown

DEADLY ONE. --> Juicy, juicy, Juice

Ste k

Rockers Revenge

Revival (sorry I cant spell)

p45 or even worse p60

anti-pop constortium

the bollocks

mofo (a la U2 suits those kind of bars which have been designed by the same fella's)

"The Underground"

The Luas bar

Anois (now in English i think)

seanadador (musican i believe and not senator, but dont quote me)

buzzerbuckley

mentioning of luas...............
how about
gridlock city?

Rockiemalt

try using the add that was on on phantom.. some chap will name your band and call the club the name from that. or
Invade
decleration

now thats a good plan, you can't name something important without consulting JEFF!:)

Achille

hmm, just rip off some name from the Simpsons, thats what all the cool kids do. if you watch a few episodes, im sure you'll see a bar or club with a good name.

calling it Moe's tavern would draw a crowd.

or anything to do with Zeppelin!!!

Houses of the Holy, haha.

120_Minutes

I second cellar door, or perhaps "tangent universe" or "tangent"

Good luck with the venue , it sound like it'll be a great place to play, and its desperatly needed rigth now....

Ste k

"high volatge"

DC input

Nu-clear

asdf (as from a keyboard near you)

55th street

de-regulation

Priviatisation

11850

What about 'No name'

or 'double U' as in 'W'

Imagine the fun directory enquiries would have.

Punter.....'Im lookin for a place called 'double u'

11850 bod(typically)...'how do you spell it'

deoconne

something strange like "In D Rok"? I know, i'm not very funny

third (?) cellar door though

Saint-dotsie

how about
"sanctuary" its probably too dancy,i still ike "aja",
look up some flaming lips song titles your bound to find a good idea there.

ThatBloke

How about That Place, as in I'm goin to ThatPlace with That Bloke

Hydromonkey

How about "Generic Indie Club No.7"

or maybe "Dischord" (now that involved some thinking, with the whole play on words)

Btw good ideas for the club - cheap drink now and again, get DJs that play music the punters want to hear not what they think we want to hear, and have the bands on late (i enjoy music more while intoxicated)

Mewzel

i think 'cellar door' is a pretty good name.

Tyrrial

well, it looks to me like "cellar door" is a crowd favouit.

tiggertigger

I think they should call it "JAIL"
(or "GAOL" for the oldie in you)

Not many people can say
"yerr man, I saw [enter band name here]
in JAIL there the other night"
or
"yerrIwas in JAIL the other night. deadly buzz man. deadly."
or
"jayzus, there's great music in JAIL"

... well you get the picture...
You could also call THE JAIL,
but that limits the effectiveness of the title methinks.
although it's a small point.

I await my cheque with patience

Mond

How about 'El Mocambo' a club favoured by the Stones (April Wine and others) many moons ago. Seriously Cheesy in central Dublin though.

How about Supernaut?
Soundhole was suggested by a friend but given the ability of the Dubs to give everything a nickname, perhaps not.

nuvolari

spoon!

no really

Tyrrial

How about Invoice?

acquiescefc

I like 'Double U'

Flows off the auld tongue

'Tonight, ladies and gents, Metallica live at the Double U'

Saves on advertising air time too!!

Tyrrial

arn't there a chain of hotels called the W....?

Achille

while talking about this with some friends someone said that naming a venue like this is like naming a child, so i figured why not just give it a person's name.
and i dont mean like Isaac Butt's or Whelan's. just a straight name on its own.

Hank.

"oh, we're playing a gig in Hank"
"i won free tickets to Hank tonight!"

Saint-dotsie

speaking of metallica the way their going they will end up laying gigs in little clubs for the rest of their lifes,that new song sounds really really atrocious,i swear to god it sounds like a combination of old metallica.speed metal,linkin park, and of course Korn.

no names to suggest

I second the motion... the possibilities for humour are endless - "Yeah kids, I met your mother in Jail... "

ThatBloke

How about "The Haven" or Haven

or

The Bunker

either way you could advertise it as a "safe haven" for those with good musical taste:p

stez

Few suggestions;

Skinz
The Rockshop
Hallelujah
The Rub Club
Kinky's
Karma Cauldron
Chimera

Tyrrial

i like the idea of using the word Karma... i love that word, but i think Chimerais a bit of a strange one....
