Sad news...

It's a tad weird indeed, SubScape holds their last party there very recently, saying they are changing locations and now this... Let's hope it's not how it looks... There is a thing called coincidence ofcourse...

Oh well, the truth will come out eventually...

Just read this in a Flemish newspaper:

'Onze expert heeft resten van benzine aangetroffen,' zegt parketwoordvoerder Paul Van Tigchelt. 'Een daad van vandalisme lijkt in dit geval onwaarschijnlijk.' Veel waarschijnlijker lijkt het dat de brand een wraakactie was van een ontevreden feestganger. Volgens personeelsleden die liever anoniem willen blijven, maakte een bezoeker eerder deze week nog een scène nadat hem de ingang tot de discotheek werd geweigerd. Hij dreigde dat het personeel van de discotheek niet lang meer in de zaak zou werken, en dat hij de dancing zou platbranden. De politie onderzoekt dat spoor grondig.

Claiming the fire was lit, they found petrol. Apparently some clubber who got refused was threatening the bouncers and saying he'd burn the place down!

These are sad days for the already Antwerp night life.
Capital was one of the few remaining clubs over there that could breath a genuine atmosphere, especially on Sub Scape nights.

Thousands of years of written human history and still we haven't learned to control our ego problems, well at least not all of us apparently. Rumor has it the person that did this watched Scarface a couple of times too many.

Shame, it was one of the few reason to drive to antwerp these days.
Hope subscape will find a new location.

this is totally unrelated to the decision to stop doing SUB-SCAPE at Café Capital which was already made a few months ago; after many memorable nights it was time to move on... there will be a party in November to mark the 5th anniversary of the first SUB-SCAPE night which took place at Fake Bar... more details will be announced soon...

Did you hear that it was a Dealer who had been refused entry and was harrassing the owner?

He returned a burned the place down.

What a F**ker.

Today a second suspicious fire had destroyed Cafe Capital even more.
The fire dept declared that it's unseen that an already burned out place burns down for a second time.
An expert is investigating the site.




Let there be house
Wtf is going on? I hope they find the loser who did it!
