Melbourne Trip - The Good, The Good and the Ugly


Sorry for the lack of posts guys, but I just got back from a four day stint in Melbourne. Partied a little too hard (if that's possible), but the result of that is a little insight into the Melbourne nightlife. I will update one venue per day, starting with the venerable 3rd Class.

3rd class is a no-nonsense hedonistic monstrosity that piqued my interest when it was mentioned in an in-flight magazine by the lead singer of Cut Copy as his club of choice. First of all we rocked up too early, and found our selves in a service elevator going to a janitors closet. Luckily, a couple of young ladies out the front set us straight on the entry procedures, and we were in.

It was grimy, but not literally, more visually and was a major turn-on. The music was top notch, if you like your dance rock loud and hard. The crowd was fun too, and obviously down for a good time, which was the whole point. We danced until we could dance no more, and in-between time I would go to the loo and peer through a whole the wall out onto the dancefloor. Like I said grimy. I would recommend this place for anyone who appreciates dancing and drinking over looking good.
