It was twenty four years ago today...


It's the 4th Anniversary of
"The Night Formerly Known As
Sweet Alice Tuesdays"
at
The Pontiac

TONIGHT!
9pm until 2am

DJ Tankboy
DJ Rudy Tuesday

Four years ago Tankboy and Rudy Tuesday launched the evening that would become Sweet Alice Tuesdays at the now closed Ten56 bar. The duo built up a loyal following that enjoyed rock and/or roll peppered with soul, funk, disco and punk. When Ten56 closed the boys were the only resident DJs to make the move to innjoy, a club owned by Ten56's owners.

After spending a spell there, Tankboy and Rudy decided a rejiggering of the evening was in order and moved to the post-service station environs of The Pontiac, where the surroundings more closely mirrored the team’s eclectic tastes. While they lost the name "Sweet Alice Tuesdays" in the move, they regained the rock and/or roll spirit that had made their original run so popular. So here we are, four years later, and Tankboy is still anchoring the evening with the help of guest DJs and the occasional re-manning of the mixer by his original partner Rudy Tuesday. They celebrate four years of making Tuesdays worth celebrating by re-teaming up, playing lots of past hits, and giving away some free stuff as a way of saying thank-you to everyone that's been along for the ride so far.

Expect rock, pop, soul, electronic, whatsisprocket style music with an ear towards danceable hooks all night long.
