So what does everyone thing about the large influx of “live” entertainment in clubs these days? It all started when Jamie Mulholland tried to infuse an African theme into Cain a few years back, and now it seems that drummers in clubs are ubiquitous even when it doesn’t make sense for them to be there at all. Take Pink Elephant for example, a euro-jet-set club replete with bongo drums. What do Europeans, coke, and bongo drums have in common? Sure everyone wants to bang on a pigskin when they are wasted and pretend they have rhythym and musical talent, but this circus sideshow doesn’t really add up.
And then of course there are the piad dancers, who make it feel like…well a Las Vegas strip club.

Excellent observation. Every club does have drummers now, even though they’re not rocking a jungle theme like cain (and even at cain I think the bongos are a little much). I applaud Guest House for having a live sax player back in the day and Room Service’s Made in Italy Friday parties for having a professional drummer with a real set of drums and electric guitarist (not that you could hear him because the music was so loud, but hey!)

back in the day? how young are you guys? live entertainment has been around for a long time. pangaea? chaos? spy bar?
#2: in club life 1.5 years (which is almost how long it’s been since guest house has been cool for that one month) IS back in the day…it’s like dog years. Pangaea is like talking about Roman times, Spa, etc is like the greek era and studio 54= adam and eve territory.
