The Bandwagon Club

The Bandwagon was a club night held on the first Saturday of every month at the Zanzibar club on Seel Street, Liverpool from 2001 to 2005. The Bandwagon night was run by John Robinson and Gary Murphy, members of the now defunct Liverpool band The Bandits. The Bandwagon was seen as a focal part of the local music scene, dubbed the Cosmic Scouse Scene by the NME, which emerged in Liverpool in the early 2000s. The Coral, The Zutons, The Stands, Tramp Attack and The Hokum Clones were all Bandwagon regulars, who forged their reputations at the night. The Bandwagon also played host to The Libertines and Noel Gallagher.The Bandwagon drew attention from the media, particularly the NME, and was the subject of a feature on Channel Four’s 4music who filmed in the venue on a night when members of The Stands, The Bandits and The Hokum Clones joined on stage to play a cover of Bob Dylan’s Maggie’s Farm. The Bandwagon played a guest night at the Knitting Factory in New York in October 2003.The Bandwagon club night ended as a regular night in 2005 when The Bandits broke up, and has continued only sporadically since then. A similar night called Bandwagonesque, now takes place in The Metropolitan on Berry Street, some 150 yards (140 m) away from the previous venue. A promotional sticker for the Bandwagon club night is found on an entry in Pete Doherty’s journal, Books of Albion in an entry detailing a night out he had with John Robinson and Gary Murphy of The Bandits.

The Zanzibar

The Zanzibar is a live music venue located on Seel Street in Liverpool, England best known for being the home of regular clubnights such as "The Bandwagon" and "Valhalla" among others. Unlike most clubs in Liverpool, the music is generally rock and alternative. The venue tends to specialise in unsigned bands, unlike the larger East Village Arts Club (previously known as Liverpool Barfly and later Masque Theatre) located on the opposite side of the road. However, many notable acts have played at The Zanzibar such as Noel Gallagher, The Coral, The Zutons, The Revelation, The Music, The Libertines, Miles Kane, Orjazzmic, Sisteray, Brendan Benson, Edgar Jones, The 1975, The Music, The Soundtrack Of Our Lives, Shack and Tom Vek and is a participating venue in Liverpool Sound City. The Club itself holds around 300 people, and is divided into two main areas - a long narrow dancefloor which is in front of the stage, and a raised seating area which runs parallel down one side, with the bar flanking the other side of the dancefloor. There was an upstairs area of the club generally used as a private backstage area for band members, but occasionally it was open to the public, most notably at the Valhalla clubnight run by Wirral-based band "The Laze" where there is a separate stage and PA system set up featuring predominantly acoustic acts or DJs as an alternative to the heavier rock bands that tend to populate the main stage downstairs. The upstairs now incorporates a bar that is open separately to the main club. Price on the door varies according to what event is on a particular night, but is usually between £3 and £5. The venue also has a cloakroom service.
