In May 1994, a month after the world lost a legendary band in Nirvana, a band called Weezer released their debut album alongside music videos featuring Happy Days characters and sad tales about destroyed sweaters. Here we are in 2018, and the alt world still loves this album so Zero Club are throwing a Weezer Blue Album Anniversary Special at Zombie Shack on Saturday 26th May.

On 10th May 1994 geek rock band Weezer released their self-titled album, dubbed the Blue Album which was certified gold in under 7 months. The album saw huge hits with Undone – The Sweater Song, Buddy Holly and Say It Ain’t So, which all became 90s Generation X Anthems that people still love to this day.

Since its release the Blue Album has become one of the most highly regarded albums appearing on best of and must have lists from publications such as Rolling Stone, NME, Blender, Guitar World and more.

Pitchfork named the album the 26th best album of the 90s and summed up the album’s critical recognition:

An album so substantial the band misguidedly attempted to tap into its resonance through cover graphics a mere two releases later. In 1994, 70s rock had come to mean either a bastardized version of Led Zeppelin or a bullshit reconstruction of punk rock. As guitar nerds, Weezer sought influence there but found true inspiration in forgotten bubblegum power-pop like Cheap Trick, Raspberries, 20/20, and The Quick. Most impressively, Rivers Cuomo rescued the thrilling guitar solo from finger-tapping metal and disregarding grunge/punk. A decade later air-guitaring to the album feels far less embarrassing than singing along. With the help of Spike Jonze, Weezer kept joy alive in arena rock, making the critical repositioning of Weezer as some emo touchstone even more absentminded. They called themselves Weezer, knowingly, for chrissakes. – Brent DiCrescenzo.

Zero club will be celebrating the 24th anniversary of The Blue Album by playing all of it in full during the night.

The Weezer Blue Album Special is sponsored by Pabst Blue Ribbon and party goers will be able to take advantage of a Zero Club exclusive 2 for £6 offer.

Our exclusive 90s themed cocktails will be available all night with the Buddy Holly cocktail highly recommended to keep in theme with the night!

On April 8th, 1994 we lost the hero and spokesperson of a generation, Kurt Cobain. Last year Zero Club threw a Nirvana Special to celebrate this life and musical achievements which saw a whole hour of fans singing at the top of their lungs to Nirvana songs. This year we’re hoping to recreate this at Zombie Shack on April 7th.

Again, Zero Club DJs will be playing nothing but Nirvana from midnight until 1am. From the big hitters such as In Bloom and Come As You Are to b-sides like Aneurysm and Even In His Youth this hour will represent all the best from Nirvana.

Outside of the power hour, you can expect the usual Zero Club mix of grunge, riot grrrl, geek rock and 90s alternative anthems.

The Nirvana Special is sponsored by Pabst Blue Ribbon and will be on offer for 2 for £6 all night.

Our exclusive 90s themed cocktails will be made up by Zombie Shack’s amazing cocktail mixers all night with this event’s recommendation being the Heart-Shaped Box!

Zero Club’s first event of 2018 sees us celebrate 21 years of Ixnay On The Hombre and 24 years of Dookie with an Offspring vs Green Day Special. This will take place at Zombie Shack on Saturday 27th January.

The Offspring released their fourth studio album Ixnay On The Hombre on February 4, 1997 through Columbia Records and we wanted to celebrate this classic album. The big hits from this album were “All I Want”, “Gone Away” and “I Choose” and party goers can definitely expect to hear them at the Offspring vs Green Day Special.

Also in the 90s punk world, Green Day were a huge part of the scene releasing anthems that can still be heard on radio and TV to this day. On February 1, 1994 Green Day released Dookie as their third studio album. Dookie saw the release of some of the biggest 90s alt anthems including Longview, Welcome to Paradise, Basket Case, When I Come Around and She.

The Offspring vs Green Day special is sponsored by Pabst Blue Ribbon which will be available to purchase at 2 for £6 all night.

During the night Zombie Shack’s expert cocktail makers will be shaking up our exclusive 90s themed cocktails.
