thats right all, the afterdark bar gallery has been sold and will be closing its doors for the last time this saturday night.
it will reopen in the future as a bar still but i have no idea what the details are and if they will still have live music.
singa, joel and myself will be there this sat from 9pm saying goodbye with a few drinks if anyone wants to join us.
thanks to everyone who made this place so awsome to run, and to all the bands who played there.

can I play?
that would be awsome actually. but i think joel has got a line up already. call him about it though.
i was just wondering last night if it'd sold yet.
congrats on that bit, but i always had fun there and it'll be a little sad to see it go.
hmmm... bites tongue
Wow, short notice!
Congrats on the sale, though. Can you guys buy the Punter's Palace on Smith Street and turn it into a kickarse pub?
What IS the line-up? I would love to see the old crew there one more time.
congrats. enjoy!
it was a very quick sale otherwise i would have organised a week to have all the great acts that have graciously played there to help give it a send off. and as liam said we're all eternally grateful for everybody's encouragement and help over the past years the afterdark was where we started and it played an important role in where we are now. so once again thanks to everyone who played / drank / talked shit and supported us.
it is -
between the devil and the deep
green green green
dead like geneva
its not a line up we put togther for the night its just that it all happened so fast and they are the bands we already had booked.
I've got a thing on early in the evening, but I'll drop by on my way home. So many memories.....
Fark.... short notice. I'll be at work :(
Vale Afterdork hiccup!
oh fuck.
i think that means i have to go there when i really really really wanted to sit on my arse at home.
Come on foxy!
i'll be working the bar
well...
sort of...
Yeah, it's a bit of a shit.
Maybe I can drop in early in the evening.
working = drinking, right?
HOORAH!
The Afterdark nearly killed my liver.
Lozza still holds the slushie record I take it?
Can someone have a drink at the Afterduck on my behalf? Ta.
Aftercark.

buy liam a drink.
Will do.
Next Friday I mean. He can get me a drink tonight.
Wha happened? I swear I was in fine form before I entered this bar. Not much recollection of anything..
Oh well, it was all in true Afterdark spirit, I guess.....
couldnt make it.. Farewell dear dead AfterDark Bar.
i ended up working till 3.30am at the old bar. im still tired.
Sorry I missed it. I stayed in last night and watched Totall Recall instead of drinking.
what modi said but replace total recall with scrubs.
hope it was awesome
Thanks for the thanks. Hopefully the new owners wont fuck this up. That is so easily done these days.
Has anyone been into Kitty Somerset? What's it like? Do they do cocktails?
i think it's rad. not so much a fan of the cocktails as the range though, which is pretty great. comfy when it's not packed out. the bartenders are awesome, too.
I think it is pretty wanky.
They do cocktails but I haven't tried.
Fucken no beer on tap.
I'm not much of a beer drinker fortunately, so suits me fine! Curious to know what their range of beers are though. I should really make the trek up to check it out sometime.
I liked it when I went there - the bar staff were very nice, and there was some very nice fancy scotch available. That place and The Bender Bar are both great actually - a sweet stretch along High street, and usually not packed out.
...was also entertained by the fact that I once hosted this in the space's former incarnation.
Kitty Somerset review on Broadsheet has a funny little nod in the first sentence.
These were my sentiments about a week ago...it would be rad
I do not like Kitty Somerset.
It's pretty asspensive.
I've never been there but I often go past and suspect that I would most definately not like it.. Then I have Afterdark Bar nostalgia pangs - mostly associated with Scum Nights.
