Hi. Remember us?
Born out of the ashes of The Depot, Common People existed upstairs at Rosie's as a haven for indie club kids left without a place to hang out, make out and dance on. Misfits and the dazed and confused would stumble up the stairs every weekend from 2007 to 2009 to hear electro, indie, hip hop and trash tunes churned out mainly by bonafide lowlifes D.Black and Polar Bear.
Friendships were made and bridges burnt every weekend under the low ceiling of the club for over 2 years, until the influx of fashion punks and fringe warriors downstairs meant that Common People could no longer co-exist at the tiny CBD venue without developing some bad tatts and raging alcoholism. Unwilling to further disrespect the temples of their failing bodies, D.Black and Polar Bear packed up their oxygen tanks and catheters and moved on, ending Common People's reign as the smallest and dodgiest indie club Brisbane has ever seen.
Yet now, 2 years later, by strangely popular demand, Common People is returning for one night only under the timber arches of Woodland - the attraction of a high ceiling too much for Polar Bear to pass up. Joined by CP and Depot/Guilty Pleasures DJs Ninja Rock and Deftone, Common People wants you to party like the late years of the last decade in the most tenuous nostalgia trip ever conceived.
It'll be loud, it'll be messy, the DJs will probably fuck up at least a few times and many requests will be politely listened to, then ignored. It'll be just like old times - how can you pass that up?
The Common People reunion takes place at Woodland on Friday June 17th from 9pm, with DJs D.Black, Polar Bear, Ninja Rock and Deftone throwing hits, misses and more into the mix.
ONE TIME ONLY.
