Club Dredd

February 9th, 2009 by charlottedianco

I was at Club Dredd last night. It felt different. Well of course because they now have a new venue and a new set-up. But apart from the physical difference, going to Club Dredd is definitely a blast from the past. After all, the last time I was inside ‘Club Dredd’ was in the mid-90s. Yes, more than a decade ago! And I keep wondering until now, what happened to all those years? How time flies!

I remember the first time I set foot inside Club Dredd. This was the time when the club was still along Edsa in Cubao, just a few steps away from P. Tuazon Street. It was Hannah who dragged me to go to the place and the moment I entered, I thought I was going to faint. I was scared, really! Smoke was all around, people dressed in black shirts and leather jackets, there were a lot of shouting and head banging on stage while playing electric guitars - believe me, it wasn’t the kind of place my grandmother would approve. In fact if she was with me that time, she would have dragged me to the nearest church and bath me in Holy Water. But despite my fear of being eaten alive by men in mohawk hairdos, my curiosity to see what was going on in the underground music scene prevailed. And so, many visits followed after that. I discovered a new world of talented musicians and I met a lot of people- who remained my good friends up to this day.

And last night, when I went to the ‘new’ Club Dredd in Eastwood City (Libis), it was just like visiting a memory lane. Sure, the place looks different (what’s with all the stairs?), the crowd looks younger and the music… well, of course different.

A lot of things have changed. But it was all good.
