WHAT SPELLBOUND IS ABOUT
Firmly established as one of Brighton’s best-loved monthly clubs, SPELLBOUND – The Alternative 80s Night – happens on (usually) the third Saturday of every month in the Studio Bar of Komedia. DJs SIMON PRICE (Stay Beautiful) & JAYNEY BLAMBLAM (Total Blam Blam) play Goth, Post-Punk, New Romantic, Alternative Rock, New Wave, Indie Rock, Synth and Ska classics 1979-1989.
It’s just like walking into your actual local alternative club at any random point in the 80s, right down to the smoke and the snakebite. A proper drinking and dancing session with a wonderfully mixed crowd of grown-ups who remember it all from first time around and young ‘uns just discovering it afresh. And look out for the Eighties visuals to help with the Time Travel…
THE SPELLBOUND HALLOWE’EN PARTY – SAT 26 OCT! (Early Bird tickets £8)
Spellbound is Brighton’s longest-running and best-loved Alternative 80s night, and its Hallowe’en Party is always the biggest in town. DJs Simon Price & Jayney BlamBlam spin a mix of Alt-80s monster tunes and all-time Hallowe’en anthems for a very dressed-up crowd.
Expect party-friendly bangers by The Cure, Siouxsie, The Cramps, Billy Idol, Dead Or Alive, Kate Bush, Soft Cell, The Cult, Depeche Mode etc but also “The Monster Mash”, “Thriller”, “The Time Warp”, “Ghostbusters” and all the other creepy classics you wanna hear.
There is also fiery cabaret from Laura Loops, retro horror video mash-ups on the screens, and all the usual Hallowe’en fun and nonsense.
This party happens in the Main Room of Komedia Brighton on Gardner St, Brighton from 11pm-3am. The first fifty Early Bird tickets are £8 from the Komedia Box Office: www.komedia.co.uk/shows/spellbound/
