Thursday nights in Dublin about to become a lot less neon, as tomorrow sees Neon Love's last night in the Bernard Shaw.
The weekly electro night brought joy and dancyness to the pub for more than a year, but is sadly set to move on from tomorrow. What the future holds for Thursdays & Neon Love, we do not know... but you're all guaranteed at least one more night of madness as Neon Heroes from the club's history descend on the Shaw tomorrow night.
Philth (Backlash), Dave Salacious (Family), Trashed DJs, Chemistry DJs, & Antics DJs will all be providing entertainment from 8 til the wee hours, with Beer for E3.50, Buckfast for E12 & Shots E3.
As always with Neon Love, admission is free! What more of an excuse do you need?
Tis a shame to see the end of such a great club, but I'm sure this is not the end for the NL crew.
Best of luck to them all from egoeccentric!
Neon Love Leaves The Shaw
Neon Love Heats Up
Neon Love is a weekly club-in-a-pub, the pub in question being the Bernard Shaw in Portabello. If anyone has ever wandered into the Bernard Shaw on a Thursday, they'll be familiar with the kind of crazyness I'm talking about. It's like the Pimp-Daddy of Dublin pubs. Whelan's has acoustic guitars, trad & blues; the Bernard Shaw has DANCING.
So our Thursday nights have Neon Love to thank.
As can be seen from the pretty poster, this week is particularly special- the guys and gals at Neon Love are celebrating their first birthday. To give a big funky hooray to that, Brixton's electro-rap sensations The Real Heat will be showing up to sing happy birthday (amongst other things, I'd imagine).
This marks quite a coup for Neon Love, as the girls of Real Heat are hot shit right now (if you'll excuse the pun). Having garnered several big-name fans, and even made their way on to NME's 2007 'cool' list (click), the recently dubbed 'anti-sugababes' are doing quite well for themselves. So crazy dancing from 8 til midnight, then the world is your flashing neon oyster.
How much is it going to set you back? You fool! If you're getting pissed on a Thursday, you're probably a student or a bum (me; ste) so don't have the cash to be springing money on admission prices. This is why Neon Love- every Neon Love- is completely free.
What are you waiting for?? Oh, Thursday. Right.
***Edit***
Ste has pointed this out in the comments section and it deserves mention here:
"pitchers of beer for a tenner and shots 3 blips in the shaw on thursday too".
Is this true? If so- that's amazing. Ciara? Can you confirm?
