Stick Fungus - New live music club opens in Staines

View imageJust what West London needs... a new live-music venue to rival any that have gone before. Almost as big as The Astoria; certainly larger than the old Brentford Red Lion; and it makes Filthy McNasty's look positively cramped. Sticky Fungus, sited in the old Staines Telephone Exchange, is forging ahead where previous dance nightclubs have tried and failed (due mainly to unsociable behaviour). But now Sticky Fungus is attracting an entirely different, more easy-going demographic, and it's doing so with aplomb. The promoters are putting on 2 or 3 bands, 7 nights a week, with a rigid approach to ensuring only high quality acts make the booking list.

A large stage area, along with state-of-the-art sound and lighting, has a long line of bands, from near and far, already queuing up to make their mark on this exciting new project. The audiences will experience an immense barrage of crisp sound and kaleidoscopic light shows, as they encounter all genres of mainstream music. From metal on a Monday, through indie on Thursday, to party covers and rock on Friday and Saturday, respectively. The 7 ages of rock, fitted neatly into a 7-day week.

"If the band is not to your liking on the night" says Lee Homan, one of the club's owners, "you can retire to the upstairs bar, where an 8 ft screen will be showing the act, at a slightly reduced volume". "In time, all gigs will be videoed, copied to CD and made available for purchase on the night".

4 years in the planning, Sticky Fungus is finally a reality. It's creating one hell of a buzz, and already has the potential to become legendary.
