ROCK THE MISSION Studio 24, Edinburgh, Sat 4 Jan
Punk and garage rock have been getting a lot of attention of late, which isn’t a bad thing. But it shouldn’t obscure the fact that, for as long as anyone can remember, the biggest night out for guitar music fans in Edinburgh has been a goth night. Since moving from the Rocking Horse to Studio 24 in 1999, the Mission has been trouncing younger, trendier clubs in the only stakes that count: packing the punters in.
‘There aren’t that many goths left,’ says promotions manager Leo Federici, ‘but they all come to the Mission. The music’s not really goth, though. It’s evolved into something much more eclectic now. You get all genres — metal, goth, techno. Some of the kids look like they’re really into hip hop, some of them really make an effort with make-up, some of them come wearing an AC/DC T-shirt and a pair of ripped jeans.’
When Federici talks about the kids, he’s not talking about spotty-faced twentysomethings, either. Before the alternating Saturday night mainstays of the Mission and Asylum (which focuses entirely on modern rock and metal), the club runs the successful Junior Mission club for under 185. ‘We attract people who are a little strange and let them let off steam, give them a sense of belonging,’ says Federici. ‘One of the problems with the way we’ve evolved, with living in a city, is that there is less sense of community and we are more isolated and part of us realises that that isn’t quite right. I go to other clubs and there’s people drinking and pulling, but there’s no sense of community, nothing on the same scale as what we’ve got here.’
