Snafu

Up until recently Aberdeen was a one-horse club town with only Snafu supplying a regular barrage of electronic distortion in the wee club hours. And while the re-birth of Origin (old Pelican club) has bought much needed nocturnal diversity to the tiny club scene it doesn't open midweek and offers a very limited back-bar for advancing your palette's pleasure. So here we have the Wednesday eclectic rodeo that is Martin Jay’s 'Mom… the Video Broke'. You know that cliché that there’s only good music or bad (Terry Wogan - Eurovision '77)… well it holds court here where the over-ground clashes with the underground in positively grand fashion. Pop classics from Roxy Music mix it up with deeper nu-disco edits of DFA records, classy funk 45s give way to sinister Detroit ballads, all while the bar team supply mighty fine cocktails and beers by the jug.
