Just to let everone know...........
The Mission is NOT on!

They called Dave in and told him thanks for everything but BYE! Don't bother turning up tonight. Their putting their own night on, not sure what it will be.

	where did you hear this? If it's true it's pretty harsh, but there've been god knows how many rumours about the studios over the last few years. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Got a panic phone call from ishkhara. She wanted to let as many people know but wasn't near a computer. So i offered to put it up here (Reply to this)(Parent)

	It's funny that it says 'the mission will now be known as retribution' as if it's just a name change. Same old studios, still playing Linkin Park three times a night. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	But it's not Dave & Co doing it so it's a new club. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Ach, people always whinged about the music, but the carried on going along anyway. Lets face it, they always had to play to the majority, and that meant playing linkin park 3 times a night and 5 system of a down tracks. There have been clubs that tried to do something a bit different, and without exception they died off. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Last night actually was quite different, and it's the most I've danced there in about five years. Not much bleep though, as I think the decision was made to make it a total metal club, similar in style to the UK's other ones. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	if it's not the same promoters, i.e. not dave and co., then it's not the same club. It seems really nasty and underhanded what's happened, i.e. it seems they kicked out the mission at the last minute, and replaced it with a different but very similar club, thus stealing all the mission's punters!

	I can't disagree there, but I do have to say it needed doing! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I have to admit that as annoyed as I am over this, I haven't been to the mission in months; that's as much due to a change in my tastes as to it feeling a bit stagnant. I do think the mission needed some fresh ideas and some work, but surely they should have been given some time rather than being kicked out on their arses. Mind you, they may very well have been, it's only really hearsay and rumour at the moment.

I would have gone along to the "last night of the mission" if they'd been able to have one, too.

The guys had been warned in recent times about low numbers, as ive said already with alot of clubs from the Venue now homeless the Mission was under threat but the Studios took the decision to retain the night as an alternative club. As far as im aware they were indeed given time, this wasnt without warning.

Last night was an excellent night, good music, busy and a good atmosphere, light years ahead of any Mission ive been to this year.

	Maybe so, but it would have been nice to have a last-ever-mission or somesuch to go along to. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	what about the last one you went to, that would have been your last-ever-mission :D (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gnomatron 2006-07-16 10:08 pm UTC (link)
	true, but it's not the point :) (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I was told from an insider (who admittedly may have been biased) that they've been asked numerous times to sort things out, but little has happened. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	cheekbones3 2006-07-16 10:24 am UTC (link)
	I'd not been in a year for exxactly that reason, and last night it was excellent. If there wasn't much for me to hear downstairs, there almost always was something I liked upstairs, and it's the most fun I've had there this decade probably. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sounds better than the mission, I had fun when they had 3 floors but it went downhill when they closed the other. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	jetgrrrl 2006-07-17 09:23 am UTC (link)
	I didn't hear any Linkin Park. I was most upset. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	smoothdiaries 2006-07-15 06:55 pm UTC (link)
	Mission has been dying for years, it has long since gone stagnant, I welcome the change and may actually go along to this sometime, something ive hardly done with the mission in a long time. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Pretty much seconded. Although I have to say one of my biggest dislikes of the place is actually the venue. Its sweaty dirty and those stairs are a disaster waiting to happen .. so maybe not! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I agree - I've never really enjoyed The Mish since it moved from Victoria St - the Studios just don't do it for me! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Pretty crap of The Studios to tell them at the last minute that they're out though, they've been there a few years now, so they could've been treated with a bit more courtesy. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	julesbabe2310 2006-07-15 08:34 pm UTC (link)
	What I've been told is they got asked to go in at 4 this afternoon and were told then. But yeah I totally agree it's pretty shite. I didn't go regularly but when i did i always had a good night running between both floors. (Reply to this)(Parent)
