THE TWILIGHT ZONE
The Twilight Zone at Moray House: currently every third Friday— but watch Nighlite for details. 9pm—2am. 50p (students and claimants tree).
Despite the disadvantage of being hosted in the drab confines of Moray House Union in Holyrood Road, a new Edinburgh club the Twilight Zone has got off to a more than promising start.
The club, run by Ian Stewart (of the Helicopter Spies) with help lrom Lenny Hesling (of the Thanes) resembles a cross between the Snakepit and the Underground - two famous clubs of yore. For younger readers the former was a very popular bastion of 60s' psychedelia, while the latter- Edinburgh‘s best-ever punk club- otfered countless nights of Snakebite and Killing Joke records.
At the Twilight Zone you can expect The 13th Floor Elevators, The Flaming Groovies and The Chocolate Watch Band to line up alongside Joy Division, The Huts and Buzzcocks on the turntables. Add a topping of ‘industriaI‘-type sounds and you've got a club which is amazingly eclectic by Edinburgh standards. The clientele mirrors the broad music policy though there is a slight majority oi GDs’ devotees.
