Here’s an interesting one out of Sydney: It’s not a nightclub, but rather a dayclub. It’s specifically meant to be a social event for the older crowd to gather at a time that’s mroe conducive to career and family life.

We suppose it was only a matter of time before the reality of aging set in, and that we’re not actually vampires (the real kind that don’t sparkle and hit on 15 year old girls) and we can’t keep living the nightlife forever. Here’s the marketing copy:

In the mood for good tunes, cheap drinks and a few laughs? Come on down to Delirium on the 4th Sunday of each month!

DJs spinning the best in goth, indie, shoegaze, post-punk and wave. We’re all ages, and kid-friendly, too!
We’ve got happy hour drink prices. $5 shots, wines, spirits and imported beers. $3.90 Carlton draughts. We’ve got breakfast til 4pm (for all your afternoon bacon requirements)
We’ve got bloody delicious $9 pizzas. And it’s free!

Broadway Lounge is roomy, has lots of seating, and has a spacious outside area bit, if you like that outdoors stuff. There’s also 3 hours free parking at Broadway Shopping Centre, just down the road.

You’ll hear bands such as The Cure, Violent Femmes, Psychedelic Furs, Depeche Mode, New Order, Joy Division, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, She Wants Revenge, Blur, Blondie, Stone Roses, Cocteau Twins, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Buzzcocks, The Damned, Happy Mondays, Elastica, Madness, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Jam, The Pixies….

We used to attempt something like this in Melbourne, back in the Heresy days. There was a weekly Wednesday afternoon with nachos, cheese’n'tomato toasties, and discounted dark beers. It died out in the end as the business crowd kept complaining to the bar staff about the goths there >_<

Generally speaking we don’t promote events at DV8 for internal reasons among the few people that contribute to this site and the management of club CBD (the venue that runs it). We have been assured that this one’s different, but none of us are willing to go check it out for review purposes. So if any of you go, by all means, shoot us a review (positive or negative, we don’t care, it’s your opinion that matters as we can admit ours is already biased).

Here’s the marketing copy, slightly rearranged:

Cyberia, Melbourne’s Newest night, is here to satisfy the need of any alternative electronic music lover.

On level 2 at Dv8, we are here to present you with a night so powerful, so enjoyable, you will wonder how you lived without it. For the Launch night, the theme will be GREEN! The entirety of level 2 will be glowing neon green, so much so we wont even need normal lights, just UV! What will you see? The entire floor glowing green, so bright, you will think you are at a rave, except for people who like things different!

Featuring all your favorite electro-industrial, dubstep and various electronic music from all of your years of memories, What will you hear? Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Skrillex, Combichrist, Aesthetic Perfection, Faderhead, Pendulum, Aphex Twin, Apoptygma Berzerk, FGFC820, and so many more! Present [sic] by DJs Aiman, X13V and Zydrate

You will be presented with glow sticks and fingerlights upon entry, coloured in the theme of the night, to ensure everyone can glow a little bit green, regardless of wether or not you wore green to the event. There will be glowing plastic tubing as streamers, glow sticks scattered around the Level, plus a glow stick to each patron who enters the floor! And of course, there will be prizes for those who make the maximum effort, they are as follows:

• For the best dressing Man+Woman, you will be present with a prize to the value of $100 EACH!
• To the best best dancer, you will be presented with a prize to the value of $50!
• We will also have promo cds from various industrial artists to give away thruout [sic] the night.

Disclaimer: This event is not connected to the person of the same name.

Drink Specials: $5 Toxic shots, green vodka shots!
Entry: $15, or $12 on guestlist
