THE FUTURE

The owner/managers of Interzone are nothing if not ambitious, and some of the wild schemes for the club are simply too outrageous to discuss here. It has always been our intention that Interzone be more than simply a nightclub playing industrial music. It was to be a kind of sub-cultural centre; a meeting place; a retail outlet for all kinds of unusual and specialist items; a performance art venue; a gallery for "still art" (especially sculptural works); a public-access Internet site and a focus for just about anything and everything our patrons wanted.
Interzone will have to relocate to achieve this.
The venue at 448 Murray Street is not large enough and is not available enough (it's already home to another business whenever we're not using it) for us to achieve these ends there. We have searched for alternate venues since before the club opened, and the search continues.
Interzone, if it proves viable in the long term, will expand to other cities in Australia, and perhaps overseas ("Interzone: Tokyo" is the current favourite -- as I said, we're pretty ambitious). If it proves nonviable, the side-projects which have sprung from it will continue, and it will almost certainly re-emerge in one form or another at some time in the future.

UPDATE:
With the demise of "Damnation" & "Salvation", it looks as if we will not be running at 448 Murray Street again (this despite our massive investments in the venue). As such, all our plans are now on-hold until another suitable venue can be found. In the meantime, Interzone-related people are involved in a couple of notable projects. Firstly, four ex-IZ DJs (including our three primary DJs Claudine, Brad and Nathan, as well as James from "Exaltation") are in the process of establishing "Dominion" in cooperation with our VJ Mike. This club intends to run as a BYO members-only venue with a predominately Gothic-Industrial theme, situated in the basement of the building in which Alysian Empire is located. They kick off with a party on NYE95 and intend to run semi-regularly thereafter. On a more Techno/Electro note, members of Sensory Overload, CSU and LD-120 held an XMas Eve party showcasing live electronic music from all three bands to launch an effort to establish a live venue for this musical form in Perth. It's also their intention to become "Clan Analogue Perth", with all the benefits that entails for the cross-fertilisation with other Clan Branches. Expect a link to a "Clan Perth" page soon.
