Another big Lizard song. Undoubtedly a lot better in it's it's remix form. I didn't hear what it sounded like in it's original form for a long time. and by time it was too late. I was already hooked by the remix. I had it in vinyl form first and later when I tried to get it on CD I ended up with the original. Which is good. Real good. But I was in love with the remix.
In late 1990 after a trip to a club called Joy which was at the Continental in Greville Street I came back to the Lizard with a bunch ideas influenced by Joy and things I'd read about overseas clubs. So we hung up all these sheets I'd bought from a cheap material place in Glenhuntly. Got some oil lamps and got a mate to take a bunch of slides using old copies of The Face magazine. We had bubble machines and gave out lollies at the door. It was all quite a trip. And the place went through the roof.
We did try a smoke machine. But because the place was quite small it filled up the whole place with a couple of jets. Including the public bar next door. No one could see a thing. The manager of the place and the bar staff couldn't work out what was happening. They came running up screaming turn it off. We had to open every door. So we never used it again. It didn't matter though. It was so crowded the people made the atmosphere electric.
