Kiss N Tell

There has been a recent flurry of new clubs opening, which are all getting heavily promoted on social media. Or maybe they have been around for a while but have only recently started to push the advertising to draw in my visitors?

Either way, I've got a short list of ones that I done want to visit because I like the look of their vibe and I'd like to see if all the buzz around them is justified. Also, I think they all involve people who I am either friendly with or hold in high esteem and have a lot of respect for, so, even if I find that none of these clubs appeal to my personal tastes, it would still be nice to show my face there as a sign of support.

First up on my shortlist was Kiss N Tell, which is, as far as I am aware, only open on Saturday evenings (my time), so it's taken a few weeks for me to be able to make it due to other commitments getting in the way but here we finally are...

Full disclaimer... I had literally no idea what sort of club this was when walking through the door. All I really knew was that there was a strong red and black themed to the place. In other words, I perfectly aligns with my personal brand style. I suppose that was a big part of what made me curious to check this place out. That, and the ridiculous number of Kiss N Tell photos that have been appearing in my Twitter feed in recent weeks from a who bunch of people who I follow.

Honestly, I was hoping that it might be some sort of nasty industrial or something along those sort of lines. The sort of stuff that you would often hear at Nocturnus. To me, that is what the aesthetic of the place instantly brings to mind. 

I wasn't so lucky though. Turns out that Kiss N Tell is an EDM club, so not my thing at all. Which is a shame for me personally because I think the place was actually really great. I really dig the vibe there, love the lighting, great facilities. Just not my sort of music. It happens though. I appreciate that my likes are not what would be considered mainstream so, more often than not, I'm just going to be tolerating what DJs are playing rather than being able to enjoy it.

And that's not so hard to do when you bump into friendly faces, just like I managed to do. And I do literally mean 'bump into' because I think I clattered straight into the back of Nitro whilst trying (and apparently failing) to navigate around all of the bodies on the dancefloor. 

Anyway, it was nice to see her and to have a friendly little chat, especially since I got a sense that she was in a similar boat to me; really likes everything about the club except for maybe not being a fan of the music. Regardless, it's definitely worth checking out if you find yourself needing somewhere to go on a Saturday evening/night.
