Warehouse 2

The first rave (or "warehouse party" as they were called then) I went to was W2 at the old East End Markets, on NYE 89/90. I had missed Warehouse 1 only months before and was spewing that I was going to miss out on the whole "warehouse" thing, like I'd missed the whole "aciiiiid" thing when I failed to go out for a couple of weeks in a row. The whole smiley-faced T-shirt and bandana ensemble was binned before I got to wear it. I do remember "The Reels" playing, who are hardly "ravey". I don't remember the other DJs who played, but back then the biggest DJs in Adelaide were Steve Hooper and James Ingram and that Jules from McMahon's Tonsley
(Nick's better half)

wah! that is one of the few I missed!

i was like 4yrs old thanks for the heads up

I didn't go to Warehouse 2 (even though I could have got hold of some tickets, criminal I know). But I went to Warehouse 1. This was before the East End had been redeveloped, so it had a real abandoned warehouse feel.

I remember them going beserk with the smoke machine -- WHITE OUT!!

And I remember Colette singing her single "Ring My Bell" (what a sad thing to remember).

oh dear!

bet many of the hardcore ravers of the day would have erased that from their memory

collette!

I can see them cuttin loose now!

bahahahaha
