Party's over for Palace
« on: May 24, 2007, 02:10:04 PM »
St Kilda's Palace entertainment complex is to close next month after a long-running battle over a planned redevelopment of the site.

Not the espy but an icon all the same.

Will allways remember 2 of my favourite gigs of all time there - Faith no more and The Ramones

Nothing like a trip there then to espy or prince and a 4 in the morning pizza - will be missed - RIP

You went to that Ramones gig CUB?
 :bow  :bow  :bow
I saw FNM there also...

My fav gig there was Supergrass about 5/6 years ago, closely followed by a corker of a Midnight Oil gig there.

I saw Nirvana there.  31st of Jan 1991. 

All time favourite gig. 

And I used to frequent "Twister" and met plenty of ladies in that place.   ;D

Apparently Port Phillip Council was going to use it in some capacity for 12 months before it got taken down.

If that is true it makes it very suss.
