    New Beginnings

    With forums and facebook groups bemoaing the Factory Club’s move from the main Custard Factory to the nearby Space2, Factory Club felt the need to make an official announcement. It is not The End, but ‘a new beginning’.

    The Factory Events team, have decided to focus their energy on financing the redevelopment and complete refurbishment of some exciting new spaces within the Custard Factory, to include the 1500 capacity Space 2 warehouse, two large adjoining railway arches and a new, never used before ‘secret room’. These new spaces will herald a wave of bigger and bolder club events organised by some of the most successful promoters in the business.

    Meanwhile The Rainbow is set to expand and take over some more Digbeth spaces, I recently received this Facebook message from the Friends of The Rainbow facebook group:

    The Rainbow is expanding it’s venues. We are recruiting…We feel that Digbeth is in need of a little bit more. We have been scouring the city for more hidden gems and have found some jaw dropping spaces some intimate some not.  There is a certain criteria for the spaces to fit in with our plans but what we have added to the triangle exceeds our expectations. They will wet your appetite some for many years to come.

    Getgood Link: Custard Factory In Birmingham closing Down

    Custard Factory In Birmingham closing Down – Yes, that headline made me start too, but it’s just the subject header of an interesting forum discussion that says The Factory Club at the Custard Factory is closing down after Eclectricity’s “END OF AN ERA WEEKENDER” on Easter Bank Holiday weekend 2010.

    as the Factory Club @ Custard Factory closes down for good, we are proud to putting on the official closing parties….. It goes without saying that it will be an emotional end to what has been Birmingham’s finest music institution… We will ensure it goes out in style!!

    A lot of the clubbers in the forum are understandably gutted, but I can imagine some of the Custard Factory’s tenants might not be quite so upset. Does anyone know if The Factory Club is moving home to a new venue, or is it shutting up shop for good?

    Capsule – Event – Melt-Banana-Guests – The mental Melt Banana are playing The Factory Club on 15th May:

    Front woman Yasuko O.’s ultra-high-pitched screeches and Agata’s screaming slide guitar vie for supremacy across a rhythmic frenzy that is so ridiculous and precise, it will crush you with it’s brilliance.
