John Moores University final year Students , Charlene McDaid, Damo Jones and Will Jameson were somewhat disillusioned with the state of affairs in Liverpool’s club scene. Fed up with Satan’s sound system, fed up with meathead bouncers, fed up with silly bar prices, fed up with flat atmospheres and overrated dj`s playing some latest fad nobody was into. They found the Lemon Lounge on Berry Street, and then home to prolific underground prog housers Alderaan. Small yet perfectly formed, the “room above the pub” as it has since become known in the national press, was perfect for what they wanted. In March 2000 it was born, with Steve Wandless (Wandy), local house head and fellow student provided the soundtrack and what followed can only be described as an unruly and riotous house party devoid of all the trappings of other clubs. Low door tax, sensible security, no dress code and more importantly a distinct shift in focus to the music and the crowd.
