Hard Mondays Minneapolis- Jeremy Ahrens Overview: Hard Mondays is the longest running darksider night in the Twin Cities. DJ's spin industrial, EBM, Electroclash and Sythpop. If you are gay, goth, under 21, or just want to hang out and get weird, HM is the place to be.
Review: Hard Monday is very hit or miss. Some nights you may have 100 people stomping their boots to Icon of Coil's Floorkiller. Other nights are desolate. But whatever. It's the shit for a Monday night. Venue: The Saloon is a gay bar. Half of the club is devoted to Hard Monday and the other half remains gay crazy. Or at least as gay crazy as a club can be on a Monday night. The two halves do not mingle much. Goths do not like gay male dancing because it often involves a cartwheel. Gays do not like goth dancing because it often involves digging a pretend grave. I'm not sure if either group has much room to grow. Last Night's Party: Stayed until 2a.m. Bit a 19 year old girl on the shoulder. She liked it. Danced to about 10 songs. DJ played Duran Duran's Hungry Like the Wolf. Dates: Every Monday Time: 10p.m. to 2a.m. It does not get going until 11:30p.m. Where: 9th street and Hennepin Ave., Minneapolis, MN Dress: Look sharp. Wear black. Guys should wear leather, vinyl or a suit. Girls wear a wide variety of hot dresses, corsets and lingerie. Fishnet stockings are pretty common for both guys and girls. Music: DJ Nitrogen plays EBM, industrial, electronica and a few 80's favorites. You will hear VNV Nation, Icon of Coil, Depeche Mode, Wolfsheim, NIN, Assemblage 23 and a whole mess of The Cure. Face Control: Free. 18+. And everyone gets in. But you will look really stupid if you are not dressed like a spider, cat or a bat. |
