Tainted Love presents DARKSIDE : 80s Alternative
Tainted Love presents DARKSIDE – a day/night of 80s alternative
After a sell-out launch at The Key Club in January, Darkside will storm back for another night of alternative 80s action – this time with very special guests, 80s legends GHOST DANCE, performing a live club set.
Taking place in The Key Club, a basement venue in the bowels of the Merrion Centre, the perfect location for an authentic 80s alternative party. Relive those heady days, staggering out of Le Phono on a Saturday afternoon after 4 pints of Stowford Press snakebite, into a crowd of confused Morrisons shoppers.
Let DJs Dan Lomax (The Town & Country Club, The Cockpit & Black Lodge) & Richard Miechje (Salvation) take you on a dark thrill ride through the best of the alternative 80s music-scape, transporting you back to your favourite decade for a day to remember (whether you were actually there or just wish you had been).
Expect to hear:
The Cure / Bauhaus / Sisters of Mercy / Joy Division / Soft Cell / The Cult / Depeche Mode / Siouxsie and the Banshees / The Damned / Killing Joke / The Cramps / The Smiths / Violent Femmes / Nick Cave / The Damned / The Mission / Fields of the Nephilim / New Model Army / Pixies / The Chameleons / Iggy Pop
Saturday 14 March / 4pm – 9pm
