...and also featured in an episode of 'Wired World' by Philip Bond in Deadline magazine. I used to love it in The Factory (despite the chances of getting communicable diseases from leaning against the walls and the strange beer in yellow cans) but used to prefer punk nights or similar as I wasn't the biggest fan of Britpop
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Menswear

Their debut album was great! 'I'll Manage Somehow' and 'Being Brave' were my faves.
Got dropped before the second album could get released

How anyone can say Oasis is beyond me. Blur's recorded output is vastly superior. Oasis only did one great album (their first) and you can have their second if you are feeling immensely charitable. Modern Life, Parklife, Blur & 13 are all crackers, personally I also have a big soft spot for Leisure.
The correct answer is Pavement though.

Ah, Lynx Lager, I remember it well! Basically the bar downstairs bought The Factory and the unit next door to make a much larger club (which eventually became The Q-Club/Liquid Lounge) so they moved out of the premesis, even taking out the beer lines and everything.
Then when, the new owners initiall failed to get a licence, The Factory owner, who I think was called Ben Hope, leased the place back and moved in...Obviously, with no pumps and such like they just sold Lynx Lager in those cans. Not that anyone complained as we were just happy to have the place open again.
The diversity is what made it so cool as when I first started going there on a Saturday, it was all heavy metal and grunge. When that scene died out it Saturday's were all about indie/Britpop & techno but they put on all sorts of underground nights. I also enjoyed going there on the Friday's for the funk, cheese & disco nights.
Fantastic times.

James, The Catherine Wheel, Smashing Pumpkins, Faith No More, Inspiral Carpets, Love and Rockets, Blue Aeroplanes, Jazz Butcher Conspiracy..... the list goes on.
ALL better than Blur and Oasis, who were way over-rated.

I saw the Jazz Butcher at my university. He was a bit of a nob to be honest. The singer reacted to the rather sparse crowd by stepping off the stage and playing right in-the-face of a student, leaning into him and pushing him back. Suffice to say he was eventually punched in the face and subsequently beat a hasty retreat to his dressing room never to be seen again that night.

Oh well, a special night for all concerned then!
Back to one of the special subjects on this thread, I always found Oasis to be such charmers - delightful eggsamples for yoof of their day
