THE GARAGE
Just got back from leeds where i went for a friends birthday gathering. We went to a newly opened club so i thought i would blog about it as i thought the interior of the club was well thought out and simple. The DJ booth was half a vintage car and you could see the Dj through the wind screen which was nothing i had seen before and thought it was an cool idea. So if your in leeds give it a go, its a new, exciting place to try out.
why have you decided to start this project? leeds is not short on nightspots, but it is rather thin for more intimate spaces… was that the thinking?
Frenchy:
Yeah you’re right, living in leeds you’re never short on choice of nightspots and it is definitely one of the best cities going when it comes to choice of quality nights and venues. there’s certainly nothing like what we’re doing in leeds though, in fact i can’t really think of anything like this in the uk! essentially the garage is a hub for music lovers containing everything under one roof; a club, bar and record shop. in terms of the club we feel there is definitely a need for a more intimate space like the garage and we will be bringing a raw berlin kind of vibe to leeds.
Tristan:
It was never about doing just a club… or just a record shop. we knew from the very beginning that we wanted to marry the two aspects together and create a new hybrid where each thing fed each other. it’s a perfect time to be selling records again in the city too… there’s a whole new generation of record buyers who are just purchasing off the internet but are yearning for that physical experience where they can go and hang out , learn about the music they love around other people and have some kind of filter that concentrates all the good stuff in one place. it was also important to bring an element of art & design into parts of waxworks and the garage and show some personality in the surroundings. i think the fact that we love music to the bone and nothing like this place exists right now are good enough reasons to do it for us
