    Default "Punk Rock Night" at my club.

    I thought this might fit well in this thread. So, for well over a year, one of the clubs I work in has "punk rock night". I had wanted to work it for a long time, but my schedule couldn't fit it in. Last night it finally happened. I was looking forward to it, even though I heard the $$ had gone way down since the original DJ and so had the fans that followed him as well as the more alternative dancers.

    But I didn't care. I was ready for a night of great punk which would have been a nice change from the rap and hip-hop that is spun at most clubs. So I did my make-up and hair to fit the punk mood and wore this great outfit which included 8 in British flag boots.

    When I got there, only one other dancer had the "look". The music that was played was way more rock than punk. So, I threw down some Ramones. I did ok with that one. (This is mostly a stage club). I noticed the music was really more on the rock side with the exception of a couple of Clash songs and some Rancid. So, I went with the Sex Pistols. Did. Not. Work. It turns out that most of the guys in there were not even aware it was a themed night. Most of them had no idea what the genre was. And as cute as my outfit was, the British flag thing was not winning me many fans. So, I changed my outfit, and modernized my playlist, reluctantly.

    But THIS is what got to me: Since when is Jay-Z punk rock??? Seriously, Jay-Z's "99 Problems"??? It's not like I don't like him. I've got some of his music downloaded. But punk?? HELL NO!

    I was really looking forward to working a fun, themed eclectic night. But it was just like any other. No more fake punk rock nights for me

    Punk rock night would be fun, but I'm curious as to what customer base the club is trying to reach out to with this theme night? Like country/rock night tends to bring in the older businessmen who tend to have money, so that's great, but I'm struggling to think of how punk rock night would be profitable. Fun, for sure, since I love the genre, but, would a lot of spending customers 'get it'?

    That said, I'm sorry it was so lame for you! I don't get why clubs bother having theme nights if they don't actually stick to them and promote them. Seems like there's no use for them otherwise.

    They are located in an area of LA where a lot of entertainment industry people work and live. Mostly gainfully employed production people. That night was reaching that crowd in the 30 to 50 range with some young eclectic hipsters when it first started. Apparently it was profitable when they first started. I think I just came too late to the party.
