Back in my 1st and 2nd year of Universtiy the dance cave used to be the spot. That was 4 years ago, upon a recent return my friends and I found ourselves slightly out of place. It's not that the Dance Cave has changed it's that it hadn't and we had. They where still playing the alt hits of 2006, while fresh faced students danced and the usual assortment of creepers and loners sleuthed around. I can't knock the Dance Cave, I've outgrown it but if I was still 19 I'm sure I'd still have the time I used too.
I'm sure they're playing more than just the hits of 2006. There are those of us that were in University in 1994 going to the Dance Cave to hear all the "alternative" hits of the previous umpteen years and it stayed that way for several years. Still popping in there in the late 90's and you could still here The Cure, Adorable, Smashing Pumpkins, Happy Mondays, Nine Inch Nails, Curve, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, Jesus Jones, Chapterhouse (playing Lee's Palace next week!), Charlatans, The Verve, James, XTC, Ministry, 1000 Homo DJ's, Prick, PWEI, The Jam, The Clash, The Stone Roses, Pavement, Radiohead, King Cobb Steelie, Butthole Surfers, etc., etc., etc. These hits aren't from 2006, they're from the early 80's onwards; I know the tradition still continues of cheap-ass drinks and being cursed at if you're too stupid to tip, as it should, it's most young adults first experience with the service industry and with great music.
