Scala 22nd August 2008

I went to this venue about to see The Fratellis playing live. The gig had been moved from UCL to here and at a different date. Although the tickets were only £5, hardly anyone showed up for the gig - there were around 200 people there.
I found the whole Scala experience really nice, it was easy to get to from Kings Cross station, the bar staff were very friendly, the band was great and due to the quietness of the evening the gig was rally personal.
The building has 3 levels, the ground floor is a large sloped dancefloor, the first floor is another large balcony floor with a bar and some seating, I can't remember what the 2nd floor was!
It was a great night out for such a cheap price and I will be looking out for any similar things at this venue again!

Modular mash up 20th April 2007

I'd been hearing about Modular Records parties from a few different people so when I received an email for the big party at Scala I immediately bought four tickets.

As usual my friends and I were broke so started the drinking at home, before a drunken tube journey across London.

Arriving at Scala we were a little concerned about the queue - it was pretty huge. We were in the pre-bought queue but for some reason the other queue was moving quicker which was annoying. However it wasn't long before we were in and hit the bar.

Scala is a big club and I think has two main rooms. The lower room had a load of bands and DJs playing that I can't remember the names of. The sound in the room wasn't great so we didn't stay there for long.

The upper room was were we spent most of the night, first watching Kissy Sell Out (who I liked) then French art band The Teenagers (who I didn't). People were throwing around a massive palm tree which was pretty amusing.

We told everyone we met that we were in a band, I'm not sure how many people believed us but at least it got us in the quiet vip room for a while which meant we could buy a drink without a long wait.

I woke in the morning with face paint making me look like Alex from A Clockwork Orange, a vague recollection of a great sandwich in Victoria and trying to go to a Peaches Geldoff party.

So in all it was a good night, I prefer smaller clubs though.
