I’m writing again, after a long time, because I don’t think anyone besides Modena and Reggio Emilia knows about the legendary Dark Club named “Condor.”
Condor is an historical club that first, for a long time, during 80/90/00 was placed in Modena. The club was forced to close and become itinerant for almost 10 years. (This is what some Goths told me.)
A few days after my father died, Tony Ryan – Condor Club’s owner – died, too. But his son, Cristian Rossi, didn’t give up and he’s still keeping the Gothic scene alive in Emilia more than anyone else.
He re-opened Condor Club in Modena, in another venue, but it wasn’t enough. So this year (2017) he moved the club in Rubiera, a little city near Reggio Emilia, and Modena.
After the new opening in Rubiera he chose to open the club for a free-entry Gothic-aperitif every Sunday evening (from 7pm to midnight).
We have had various international VIP’s for DJ’s, as Hellvis from Spiritual Front and Sonya Scarlet from Theatres des Vampires.
But not only new-wave! Even if most of the people are in love with the eighties sound, two Fridays a month we have “metal nights” too.
If you are in Emilia-Romagna you can come to Condor, just check the facebook page of Condor (https://www.facebook.com/CondorClubModena/ ) for the events and come to Rubiera, have fun, drink good beers and listen good music! No one will ever judge you.
Here’s an article and a video about the re-opening after summer holidays in Modena, obviously it’s in Italian, but you can easily understand that the beautiful place, Condor Club, is for every dark soul here in Emilia. http://gazzettadimodena.gelocal.it/modena/cronaca/2016/09/14/news/condor-rivive-il-tempio-del-dark-1.14099119
