We had been hearing and reading about Fredster’s<\/em>, the club in north suburban Maitland that used to be The Silly Grape<\/em>. For those that remember TSG, it’s been completely renovated and you wouldn’t recognize the place!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
For one thing, there is now a huge stage at one end of the building where last night live band Stone Lotus (USA) was playing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
It’s true the clientele is a bit on the older side.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Orlando Weekly<\/a><\/em> recently stated “Retirees pack the dance floor to test out their new hips” and “What’s old is old again.” We think that’s a bit harsh but the place is busier right after Social Security checks go out!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Nonetheless, Fredster’s <\/em>was packed and the floor full as people danced to Classic Rock hits. Admission is typically free except for special events. Come check it out. You can find Fredster’s<\/em> just off Keller Road south of Maitland Blvd\/SR414.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Even harder to find is Barbarella 2.0<\/em> since it’s located just off John Young Parkway\/SR423 in this warehouse marked only as Clearone Badminton<\/em>. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Here we found DJ Rob (USA) at the helm leading the Saturday night festivities. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Since our last visit they’ve added a proper DJ booth to the facility.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The parking lot was jammed so it was no surprise finding the dance floor the same way!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The Saturday night format is the same as when they were downtown: 80’s New Wave and Alternative.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Rob was subbing for Barbarella <\/em>resident DJ Kimball Collins (USA) who was playing down in Fort Lauderdale last night.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
People are always reminiscing for warehouse parties and the underground scene. Folks, look no further because it’s right here at Barbarella<\/em>! They’re open Saturday nights only but beginning on August 12th they will be open on the second Friday of every month for their “Memento Mori<\/em>” Goth\/Dark Wave nights.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A good time was had by all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":17430,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1899],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17419","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-club-reports"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DSCN5715-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1920&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7OlZE-4wX","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17419","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=17419"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17419\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17453,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17419\/revisions\/17453"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/17430"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=17419"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=17419"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=17419"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
