THE BIG BANG! THEORY by Starr Fairlight
There’s an explosive, new club that’s making quite an impact in SL’s rock community. Bang Rock club (mature) is getting noticed as its’ business grows exponentially. But with the multitude of clubs in SL competing for rock and metal fans’ attention one may wonder what theory of success could be applied to create such an impression.
The answer literally lies in the heart of the club. Miche Merlin and Madeleine Munro are the owners and the heart and soul behind this approach. The couple opened Bang Rock Club on May 2nd, 2009. Thus creating a place where being at ease, having fun and connecting meaningfully with some great people are the only agenda. Their concept, albeit simple had a contagious effect; everyone felt so welcome and had such a great time they didn’t want to leave. One of Bang’s newest DJ’s, Achillios Firehawk (DJ Chilli) expresses what many Bang Rock Club fans feel, “It's a place where you can be yourself and be accepted. I have finally come home!”
In fact, many regular guests have paid the club the highest compliment possible; they have become Bang’s most loyal staff members. Contributing highly to Bang’s success is the dedication of all the staff. At well over 50 and growing, Bang Rock staff includes a driven and devoted management team along with some of the most skillful Hosts and DJ’s in SL. Only the most personable and dedicated are chosen to be part of the Bang staff and it shows. Their respect and affection towards each other is much like that of a family unit and they work well together.
Atmosphere is an important factor that can be key to a clubs success, which is a concept not overlooked by Bang owners. “Our goal is to create an all day party zone…” says owner Madeleine Munro. It is obvious that the laid back atmosphere in this mature rated club lends itself open to a much more authentic party experience. Guests are encouraged to participate in the fun and to be themselves. Regular guest, Dave Wahwah says “the friendships made at Bang, the friendly environment, and contests and of course the music” are what keep him coming back. Laughter, flirting and even some downright naughtiness are a constant staple at Bang Rock Club. One of our more colorful guests jokes, “I love to get banged by my friends @ Bang rock!"
Bang’s rock and metal music is not your typical flow of top forty music that one may repeatedly find in many clubs today. In fact, the lively DJ’s play a rather eclectic choice of rock as they explore all kinds of sounds within the music genre that encompasses Bang. Song requests are always encouraged, so one will hear everything from current rock, German Goth, British Punk, Alternative, to older rock and metal.
Bang’s success can also be attributed to the constant flow of contests, adult themed events and generous prizes. The altruism of such sponsors as Alexohol Fashions, Kayliwulf Kingdom Latex and Nymphetamine Boutique to name a few, as well as that of the club owners, contributes substantially to the growing volume of patrons frequenting the club. In fact, Bang is currently running a contest to find the “King and Queen of Bang”, which holds a cash prize of 3000L for each winner as well as impressive gifts. This contest coincides with a membership drive that rewards all members with a prize at the close of the contest.
Bang Rock Club is well on its way to the top of SL’s most popular club chart and for good reason. Anyone can build a club, but Bang’s theory of success lays at the core of every rock and roll fan… the heart.
Drop by the club today and become a "Bang Ganger"!
