| - What is this a club, a music dive, a strip club, or a porn house???
I have heard interesting rumors about this place, that they shoot porn somewhere in this club. I guess it's a multifunction business and serves many purposes. When you enter you are launched in world of scantily clad dancers on the bar, and misters blasting soft clouds of wate vapor into the air. Between the guy blowing fire from his mouth on the bar, and the numerous dancers, it was dangerous to even buy a drink. I decide to go between the the dancers, and duck the flaming bartender to get something to ease my mind.
Do I dare ask "what type of beer do you have?" Unfortunately they have shit for selection, I am reduced to Heineken. Defeated again!
We actually came here to see our friends band play, so we entered the second area of this "bar" and was thrust into a pseudo lounge, dive thing, which almost felt like a Hotel conference room. It had this weird winding stair case leading to the third area of this joint. Hmm I thought, that has to be where they shoot the pornos. My friend I figured it was a special coke party since everyone who came back up was sniffing and rubbing their noses. After watching people descend and reappear from this staircase, My buddy decides to check it out. He reports back later in the night, it was simple a really bad DJ spinning records, who he thought may have been partially retarded. So much for the porn and coke party, that is so 80s anyway.
The music was good, both bands Talk Fiction and 9th Street Shakedown were entertaining. Overall this place isn't that cool, besides being completely random, and in between a giant Coca-Cola Bottling Facility, and other industrial like buildings, it's nothing to check out. I guess the only coke floating around this joint, is the "soft drink" type.
Even though I wouldn't return to Phase 54, I am still convinced they shoot porno here, that can't be taken away from me!
I forgot to mention the entire time The Adventures of Baron Munchausen was playing on this huge flat screen TV. Not only did it distract all of us watching the bands, later on my guitarist buddy from Talk Fiction said "I had a hard time concentrating, I kept trying to watch Baron Munchausen during our set, it's one of my favorite movies."
Totally Random.....
