Sure we all know where Sydney's elite, successful, hip and beautiful like to party. Zeta Bar, Hugo's Lounge, The Loft are some names that spring to mind. Each club has a certain clientele, where for some reason, whether it be geographicaly or musically attracts a type of patron that is sterotypical of that particular venue. Quickly I found out what a 'Subbies' crowd is and what it was really like when I embarked on my first trip to the Sublime Weekly Festival, who celebrated it's 10th birthday 3 weeks ago, and the world class Home Nightclub at Cockle Bay.
First of all, this is not where Sydney's elite, succesful, hip and beautiful congregate. Any club where you can wear shorts and a singlet isn't really a glamour magnet, where instead the place is filled with drug-fucked teen-20 something males, dripping with fake Ralph Lauren, Nautica and Nike Air Max with their VL Commodores parked not to far from the venue. They were there, not to steal stuff or indulge in piss-weak graffiti as they usually do. They were there to sample was is purportedly the best dance music Sydney has to offer.
Residents Amber Savage and Archie ensured the crowd was dancing hard with their trademark hard trance sounds, whilst the infamous Beat-Fix room was the mecca for lovers of Breaks with Klaus Hill, Kemuri and MC Losty ensuring the puffy-pant brigade were grooving all night long with some tunes that impressed my pretty green ear for Breaks. For lovers of more sexy sounds,Sublime veteran Kate Munroe and Matt Roberts with Illya delivered funky and jazzy house to a more sophisticated and less drugged up crowd. For some weird reason Acid Eyeliner played upstairs with some other bands, but it was nice to hear the crunch of a guitar amongst the synthetic noise that envelopes the 3 story collossus.
Overally, Sublime is a good night if you have plenty of money to spend on your favourite poison so you can go nuts to the mainly harder styles that are served up. If you want a nice night out where you can dress up, have some cocktails, a chat with some friends and indulge in a spot of dancing, this club night is not for you. Only hardcore clubbers need apply.
