Blow Up is a club night that was founded in the early 1990s by promoter and DJ Paul Tunkin at a North London pub called "The Laurel Tree". The night quickly became the centre of the emerging Britpop scene in Camden attracting long queues of people eager to gain entry to the tiny venue. Early regulars included members of Blur, Pulp, Elastica, Suede, The Buzzcocks, Huggy Bear and The Jesus and Mary Chain, leading to the club being referred to as the place where "Britpop was born".〔Bloomfield, R. (6 January 1999). Pub where Britpop born closes down. ''Time Out'', p. 43. Frayne, H. (1997, September). Britpop pub has been made scapegoat (to the editor ). ''Camden New Journal'' "Legendary venue. Where Britop was formed" Andy Ross (Food Records), 'Steve Lamacq Show' on BBC 6Music Radio (24 April 2009) "The spiritual home of Britpop" "The birthplace of Britpop" Steve Lamacq, 'Steve Lamacq Show' on BBC 6Music Radio (24 April 2009). 〕 The style of Blow Up and its audience has been noted as an early influence on, and instrumental in, the later mid-Nineties explosion of the Britpop scene in the UK and abroad: ==History== Often mistakenly labelled as purely a 'mod club' by the press, Blow Up had a much wider musical scope than this, although the club was initially started by Tunkin as a reaction to the prevalent grunge/slacker scene〔Corrigan, Susan (1994, October). Blurred Brothers. ''The Face'', pp.24-25.〕 which he said "was so anti-style".〔Heath, Ashley (1995, January 20). World Comes Around. ''The Guardian'' , p. 7.〕 The music played included British Pop and R'n'B from the 1960s (Small Faces, Kinks, Rolling Stones etc.) and Soul, late 1970s new wave (Buzzcocks, Wire etc.) together with emerging new bands mixed in with film soundtracks, 'music library'〔See: Production Music〕 tracks, Easy Listening and 1960s electronic music (Jean Jacques Perry et al.); anything that fell under Tunkin's term of 'Orgasmic Pop'. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Blow Up (club night)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
