| BC's hard goth/rock/grunge/alternative night "Insurrection" is currently every other Saturday night, from 9PM 'til 2AM (alternate Saturdays from 06/01/01 onwards). £3 before 11, £4 afterwards.
Additionally the soft goth/80s night "Pants" is on every Tuesday, at the same hours. Priced unverified, but believed to be the same. |

| Read the above - it's all true but only takes place every other Saturday. Bonzi & Spanker offer up a good effort on the music front.
DO NOT go on the off nights - for peace of your own sanity - unless you like garage of course... |

| Isn't it so sad that this is the only place to go out in M.K.? I'm going back to M.K. tonight (my home town) and will probably go here, It should be, as far as I know, Revolver (£5 without membership card) today is Friday. It used to be really good on Monday nights, proper underground alt stuff, live bands, the only place I know that can mix the 2 succesfully (ie dance, watch band, dance) It's lost it's edge now though. Does anyone remember Happy Wednesdays? (them were the (other) days!) |

| Bar Central no longer has goth/alternative nights on any Saturdays. The Tuesday sessions are also irregular at best. Insurrection is no more - rumour has it that it was replaced with a Drum'n'Bass night as a favour to a friend of the owner! :-( |

| I think there is now a metal night on Thursdays, but from what I've heard, it's pretty rubbish. I can't believe that there are no metal/goth clubs in the whole of Milton Keynes! I recommend Saturday nights at Soundhaus in Northampton...there are three rooms - metal/punk etc, goth/cyber and 80's, and it's a great club. |

| What *is* the state of goth / alternative culture in MK these days? Zak's is the only place I've spotted anyone else in eyeliner let alone NuRocks. Help! |

| The only metal night is Thursday - its sometimes free entry and also has live bands. Always a bit quiet in there, but go with a bunch of mates and you'll have a laugh. Watch out for mad Ian!! |

| Theres not really a state of goth, madamstan. There are lots of 'young goths', however, a majority of our goth population moves to London(Dean, Denny). You need to go further afield then Buckinghamshire to find a good goth place. |
