Club GOSSIP is a once a month 80s new wave video party every first Saturday of the month. It is the only club in the Bay Area that you can dance along with/to your favorite 80s videos. One room is devoted entirely to videos that accompany the 80s hits as you used to see them on MTV a long long time ago. With two huge video screens and an inexhaustible and totally awesome library of the authentic 80's videos, Club Gossip is quickly becoming one of the more prominent parties.
Each month is dedicated to a memorable 80s figure or party theme of some sort. Examples of past tributes are Madonna, Smiths/Morrissey, Prince, Soft Cell and George Michael, with a future tribute to Ian Curtis and Joy Division in the month of May. When featuring an artist, they play more than the usual amount of songs by that artist, but do not bore the whole party with nothing but the featured artist. A Video Montage courtesy of Channel One Video adds to the ambiance of the theme in the front room.
Club Gossip was started by Randy (of Rocket) and Damon (of Bondage-a-Go-Go and 1984). They wanted to create a party that did something new and fun that everyone could enjoy. They strive every month to provide their clientele with a wide range of rotating guest star DJ's, like Gina Shock (of the Go-Go's), Low Life (New Wave City), Nako (Popscene and Shutter), and Omar (Leisure and Shutter) so the playlist never gets stale or tired. The resident DJ's, Damon, Melting Girl (Death Guild and 1984), and Shon (Rocket) play their favorite 80's New Wave music in a unpretentious manor all the while keeping the dancefloor plenty busy.
The Cat Club hosts this party every first Saturday of the month. There are two rooms of dancing, two full bars, and a smoking area. In addition, there are monthly drink specials. The clientele ranges from gay, straight, bi, and tranny. The party is not geared to anyone specific, just for everyone to enjoy. The rooms fill up fairly quickly, we think being free before 10pm has something to do with that, yet the crowd is so congenial that you can easily maneuver through the crowd, people are pretty kind and respectful at Club GOSSIP.
The March 4 Club GOSSIP, the General Manager of Cat Club, Randy, will be celebrating 2nd 30th birthday. Full disclosure, he like to get crazy on his birthday, so watch out.

Re: Tribute to Gay Icons
Wed, February 22, 2006 - 6:23 AMIs it at the Trocadero or over on Folsom? It's been a long time but years ago I use to love Bondage A Go Go. I didnt go very many times but times I did were alot of fun. I saw a playlist online once of all these songs & the artists that I loved so much. My printer wasnt working so I couldnt print it out and I'm a computer retard so I lost it. I wanted to keep it so I could buy alot of those cd's at some point. Hmm. Is Souixie considered a gay icon? The guys in here band seems a little gay and alot of people in the audience sure seemed gay. Maybe they just seem gay because she draws alot of thiking intelligent punk rock types. Free thinkers of a progressive mindset. Hmm. I'm getting so philosophical.
Eeee Heee!!!! (Does Michael Jackson tippy toe crotch grab!)
