Heresy is one of the older clubs in Melbourne. In fact, it’s so old, it was around while I was still underage and using my amazingly great facial hair to get into places without being asked for ID. The good old days when the most violently drunk and drugged up people at the clubs were the ones running them and getting kicked out of their own clubs by the bouncers in venues such as 9th Ward *cough* It also ran at what used to be the de riguer venue for goth clubs: Mega Bar (now Insignia).

Sometime in 2002 it left Ma’s cradle of a club and struck out on its own as an irregular event, before being wrapped up by its promoter who concentrated his efforts on the Dark Events line ups and his own venue.

2010 seems to be a bit of a revival year for goth clubs around Melbourne, as Heresy is making a come back at yet another venue that used to be one of the staples of Melbourne’s Gothdom: the Blue Velvet bar at 60 Smith.st in Collingwood. And much like Blue Velvet used to be on its own, it’s looking to be a regular weekly Friday night haunt for people to have a bit of fun with quality drinks at a reasonable price before going on to other places and getting their angst on.

Whilst I haven’t tried the new Heresy yet, I’m sure it will be a decent night. Blue Velvet, since it’s finally had renovations (seriously Cam, how long were they happening for!?) and many of the old school DJs seem to be lining up to be involved in this once again weekly night. So far the line up includes: Doctor D, Robert Cyberman, Iggy D, Onya Box, Necromantic, Schism, Katsumi, Dissolved Pet, Spike, Slipstreem, Rael Borg and there are apparently “more” coming. Considering there are only two areas in the venue suitable for dancing, it’s going to be a hard press getting all those people on in a single evening, but I’m sure something’s been worked out as upstairs will be the speed+dance area, whilst downstairs will be people attempting to out absinthe each other and doing The Angsty Seaweed.

Entry prices are $15 at the door, $12 with a flier, or $10 if you were smart enough to hold onto your Heresy membership card for the last 7 years.
