Discovery by Purple Sneakers
Friendly faces, unmitigated debauchery and great new music.
Overview
Anyone who ever had a sneaky pash in a dark corner of the pre-refurbed Abercrombie after multiple tequila shots and five sweaty hours of late night dance floor debauchery — and anyone who never got the chance — will be glad to know Purple Sneakers now has a not-so-shiny new home on Oxford Street.
It wasn’t just great music but the promise of friendly faces and unmitigated antics that drew people through the Abercrombie’s doors until Purple Sneakers moved out in January 2010. New weekly rave Discovery promises to offer up much of the same along with an increased propensity for sweatiness (Brighton Up Bar is miniscule compared to the AH) and a lineup of bands/DJs/Producers that belies the venue’s size — the launch night was headlined by Step-Panther, who NME named one of the best new bands of 2012.
All that in a venue far more convenient for hailing cabs in the early hours of Saturday morning. What more could you ask for?
