Photos from last night at the Dogstar
In photos: Queen Bitch pop party at the Brixton Dogstar, 11th Sept 2021
We were back at the Dogstar last night for another pop-tastic Queen Bitch club night. We had an amazing crowd in all night – here’s the view from the DJ booth:www.brixtonbuzz.com
That one might have been Wheatus 'Dirtbag' or 'It's Raining Men.' Or something equally poptastically cheesy. I fucking love pop music!
....a lot of those punters won’t have been born when those tunes come out.
It continues to baffle me how some old songs suddenly become total floor fillers with 20/30 somethings. Hall & Oates for example. And last night Soft Cell went down a total storm.
I will admit to liking a bit of fromage myself, the mighty Andrew Gold gets a lot of flack but in my books he was a bit of genius both in production and lyrically....
I guess these tunes have transcended disposable pop status and have become monuments by virtue of being played on the radio loads, the young uns probably soak it up while very young sitting in the kitchen eating their tea...
I was there Thursday. Bar queues took the piss! Good gig though and felt fantastic to be partying again, even if it didn't feel even remotely safe.
Great song, but for me, it's Shania's Man I Feel Like A Woman that gets those arms waving! I could be imagining it, but post lockdown there seems to be a real appetite for escapist fun pop.
My university student union would often play terrible cheese from the 80s and early 90s era and had 18 year olds in a frenzy for it (this was mid noughties). I have never understood it, i always thought that cheesy chart pop music was mainly for those aged about 14 or younger, as they have yet to come out of puberty and start liking some decent/real music.
Pop music is 'real' music. ABBA are awesome songwriters.
People seem to be drinking more as well.
True about ABBA. I hated them because it felt wrong not to, but they were/are obviously geniuses.

Coming up in the Villaaaage
Line up announced for Brixton Village Lates in Nov/Dec 2021 – including a set from Basement Jaxx’s Felix Buxton
The Brixton Village Lates team have secured another stellar line-up in the lead up to the Christmas period, including a DJ set from Brixton’s very own Felix Buxton (Basement Jaxx) this Saturd…
Quite a while ago. They've opened up in Herne Hill now.
I think it might be a goner. It was ridiculous sticking it upstairs, especially if you've got to deal with the over-the-top security.
When i worked there for a bit a few years back it was the busiest night of the week and must have had very healthy bar takings. It was also the best night of the week due to all the characters that used to come along, even if some of them could be quite rude and demanding at the bar. I believe there was a stabbing which ruined things a bit culminating in the I.D machine being installed at the door (of the pub).
