coolzies @ indigo

after a year out of the country I return to welly, thinking: where can I go for a quiet tuesday night drink? the answer use to be indigo - without a band playing it was always dead - not anymore. @ 12pm the place was packed, full of coolzies & hipsters. isn't it funny how 'scenes' change & venues that were a few years ago considered crap become popular again for no obvious reason.

anyway, 'twas a good thing I had my bingo card with me, I got all bar the ciggies & drinks:

Forums: The Bar,

haha that's a genius card. I can tick off three things on it looking at myself - or maybe four, but I'm definately gonna print out a card and take it with me next time I go out.

I qualify for six.

Maybe it's time to lose the "ironic" moustache, Heath.

I love how the 'grandpa' box looks remarkably like noizyboy. Have to admit I qualify for six too...

pfft, those vans aren't ol school

Yeah I used to be a regular at Indigo a few years ago, when it was considered mainly a scummy underground bar that the normal trendies wouldn't go near...
But the ownership changed and everything else, haven't been there for ages now.
It's still an awesome live venue though.

i'm confused. today is tuesday isn't it... which means tonight is PRO DRAG at Indigo

!!

was last tues - s'cuse the ignorance, but what/who is"PRO DRAG"?

Pro Drag: surf-rock-esque; stink magnetic affiliated. they're supporting MC5 along with the rock n roll machine on august 3, doing a south island tour soon I think.
Last tues was a bit more crazy than usual at indiggy.

Do you have any more info about this Pro-Drag tour? I haven't seen them in such a long time, and miss music from the swamp.

i'll ask 'em tonight, let ya know tomorrow. k?

// Do you have any more info about this Pro-Drag tour?

it would appear pro drag are touring the south island with cortina. i heard it's august 7-15

No need - I've found out for myself - Pro Drag (formerly the Dallas Pro-Drag All Stars) will play Dunedin's Crown Hotel on Thursday 12 August, along with the Bloody Souls. Cool.

you're welcome

Are you back for a holiday or do you live in Welly now, Hun?

still no mates huh? :P

Still! The move from auck to welly didn't help, so I'm thinking about the Chatham Islands right about now. They must be pretty hard up.

Wait no, I mean Oi! My friendster list is longer than your friendster list!

aww

live in adelaide now - just come back to welly for work every 4 or 5 months. Best welly place for making friends of the "pash n'dash" variety is barneys... no wait, I think that closed down. better put on your chucks & get down to indigo.

thanks for the tip. I'll be the one in the black low cut chucks then.

it's just that you have to qualify to be on mine.

really i don't know how to use friendster

I could never work it out either.
