Original Line-up for 1984
was Rich Laxamana playing Old-School
and Electrofunk 80's in
the Back Room, while Dangerous Dan
(from Live 105, the Stud
Bar and The Usual in SJ) played Modern Rock styled
80's in the Front Room.
This line up lasted one week. Turnout for the first night was around 100
people.

By the next week, Dan was
moved to the back room, while Matt (from Terminator and Bondage A Go GO
at the Trocadero,
and at the time, co-owner
of the Cat Club), along with Mollie "The Melting Girl" (Terminator
and Death Guild) took over the front.
After a few weeks, it was
decided to add another DJ to the mix.
Longtime San Francisco DJ
Brian Raffi (DNA and the I-Beam) was added to the front room, while
Mollie moved to the back
room to DJ with Dan. This line up worked well
for several months. It added
variety to the mix giving 1984 something for everyone.
1984 was slow to really take
off. It wasn't until one Thursday night in December that two members of
Depeche Mode
(Martin Gore and Andrew
Fletcher) dropped in to hang out for a couple hours. They were on their
US tour
for "The Singles 86>98"
(Ultra was released the year before). 1984 has been very busy ever since!
