A NEW rock and metal club is opening this month "out of the ashes" from a former Liverpool city centre nightclub.

The Krazyhouse based on Wood Street in Liverpool city centre opened in the 1990s and was popular for playing indie, rock and alternative music before it closed in 2018.

The original Krazyhouse left behind a musical legacy which lives long in the memory of music fans, having played host to some of the nation’s leading bands including Korn, Placebo, Oasis, Radiohead and Stone Temple Pilots. It also developed a reputation which attracted partygoers from far and wide too, with its easygoing attitude and ‘anything goes’ vibe.

A spokesperson for K1 Metal Club said: “We’re amazed with the feedback online so far, the support has been quite overwhelming with positive comments of how excited people are.

“We’ve had all ages messaging us telling us that they can’t wait to visit as soon as we are open. It feels amazing to give Liverpool a metal venue again.

“To start off with, we are only planning on opening on Saturdays, but we’re hoping it won’t be too long until we can open more often.
