The Cathouse is long-established alternative music nightclub on Union Street in Glasgow. As well as regular weekly club nights, including the under 18 'Voodoo', it also hosts live gigs, with bands such as Pearl Jam, Oasis, Dragonforce, Lordi, Fall Out Boy, Zebrahead and Soil having played in the past.
The club began in 1990 in the Hollywood Studios building (now demolished) in Brown St and moved to Union St in 1997, and forms part of Cathouse Promotions Limited (CPL) who also own or lease a number of other Glasgow clubs and bars:
- The Garage (nightclub)
- The Tunnel
The Union St property was leased until 2005, but has now been purchased by CPL, and was thoroughly refurbished with a relaunch party at the end of October 2005, and the Cathouse celebrated its 18th birthday in November 2008, with a weekend of drink promotions and other features such as bands and pole-dancers.
Famous quotes containing the word glasgow:
“He felt with the force of a revelation that to throw up the clods of earth manfully is as beneficent as to revolutionise the world. It was not the matter of the work, but the mind that went into it, that counted—and the man who was not content to do small things well would leave great things undone.”
—Ellen Glasgow (1874–1945)
