Anyone remember Uncle Sams...? It was a bit before my time, but Two White Eyes supported Double Happies there in 1985. I have the feeling it was the place above where Starbucks is on Ward St, which became a dodgy night club (maybe it still is?), but i could be completely wrong. - (thedugganaut 15 Sept 06)
Yes, I think that's right. All I remember is they didn't serve milk and if you wanted one you has to order a Kahlua and Lilk without the Kahlua. Also, what was the name of the big bar upstairs in the building that is now a craft shop next to PaknSave on North Victoria Street? They held some orientations there in the late-80's/early-90's with Schnell Fenster, Pop will eat itself, Exponents etc, and there was also a couple of "hardbeat" (remember that) events held there at about the same time. (Jostling Jay, 15 Sept 06)
Was it The Club - thats what that place was when it closed? Or did it go by a different name then (where Spotlight is now). It was called The Club late in its existence - wait, was this Faces? - this is where the legendary "Cattlebirds, Straitjacket Fits, Knightshade and Schnell Fenster" gig was in 1989.. which was previously called Roxoff. Was this also Rockafellas? I can see why old people get confused now (thedugganaut 15 Sept 06)
Rockafella's was a club in frankton that hosted blues nights on thursdays & I suspect was agay club on other nights. Johnny & the Phantoms were regulars as was the occasional appearnc of Brendon Power Hamonica Player. Yes Uncle Sams was above where starbucks is now. Roxoff, The Gold bar, the club & the metropole, were all the same venue under different names..chur Irie
