weyes Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 i, for one, am ecstatic that spundae is going back to circus !!!!!!!!! spundae is my favorite club, anywhere, of all time, and i was sad when godskitchen took it over and moved it to henry fonda. it brought in a more hollywood, not-there-for-the-music crowd that i didn't care for, and i just love circus's space.circus is never too hot, the patio is gorgeous and huge with places to sit and tables (i have some friends who've even eaten the food , though i'm never hungry when i go out dancing), the dancefloor always has some room, and the vibe is unmatched. the friendliness and down-to-earth attitude of the crowd is just amazing . i can't say enough about it.but avalon started getting all the great djs on saturdays. i hate that space 'cause the sound is too loud, even with earplugs. it's better than it used to be, but that's not saying much. that joint straight-up gives me a headache. and that crowd is the biggest bunch of posers i've ever seen. people who wear their sunglasses indoors and never smile are generally not people with whom i care to associate. (ok, maybe some nice people wear sunglasses indoors, but i've never met any .) i go out to hear great music and to dance, 'cause it makes me happy, and i want to be among people who do the same. putting on airs is just not my scene. i only hope that spundae can book the good djs again .thoughts, anyone?

But had a lotta problems. The largest was geting people in. Only weeks into it, there were scrambling to get more promoters to help out. The bar operations outside the vip room were substandard also. Door staff was wonderful and the vip lounge was perfect. Avalon is a nice venue but too loud, and the smoking patio bizzare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool1g Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 i've heard that Circus has been remodeled a bit - i'll be curious to see what it looks like now.remember even before Spundae moved to Henry Fonda...it was far from full in 2004 except for the nights they pull the top trance DJs. i don't expect that to change.....realistically it comes down to your music preference...if you want Ferry/Armin, CL, etc., you'll be at Circus with the kiddies...if you like house, prog, etc., you'll be at Avalon....the 1 big difference is Avalon gets a lot of people that go there b/c they have fun there on a Sat nite, regardless of the DJ.NOBODY goes to Circus for that reason - they only go for the DJs...or to sit in an Asian E-Lake look at the DJs upcoming at Avalon:HybridSashaRoger SanchezSteve LawlerLaurent Garnier (until VISA problems forced his cancellation)upcoming Spundae DJs:CL, G&D, DJ Vibe (now that's a good booking!), DJ Dan, Charles Feelgood, D:Fuse, Armin...i'll go where i like the DJs.....not based on the club.

davetspundae Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 A whole new team is behind the new Spundae LA group for the most part. One of the co-founders of Spundae now resides in LA and in charge of things down there. There's a new focus and new dedication.Be prepared for a lot of great things to come. It's going to be a wild ride.BTW, I'm Dave (as you can probably tell)....you'll see me running around all over the net spreading the good word about Spundae. If you post on other well-known EDM boards, you probably have seen me around.Anyhow, stay tuned. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
