Club Platinum 21 Sat 21 Dec 2013

And like innocent babes in the wood we thought it was all over.

When workmen were spotted removing the supposedly sound blocking curtains on Thu 12 Dec, foolishly I thought finally they are dismantling the venue. Over the next week, my heart sank as cleaning of interiors and recaulking of the glazed west terrace was observed.

The deep rumbling undertow, a sound we have not heard in over a year, was noticed on Wed 18. It seems like the new tenant is running the sound system for a few minutes each night.

Online searches led nowhere, even on Thu 19 Dec, when the dot matrix display read WELCOME TO THE GRAND OPENING OF CLUB PLATINUM 21.

On Fri 20 Dec, www.platinum21.com finally shows up in search results, announcing the venue's opening event of Sat 21 Dec. Interestingly, calls to all three mobile phone numbers listed on the website result in a 'not in service' message.

So the club opens on Sat 21 Dec. It seems more muffled than the i-CLUB was, but the bass is still clear enough that I know they only shut down just before 4am.
