Palais de wreck The hardest thing about big parties is remembering them afterwards. And I really can't summon up much from Sunday's Black & Blue, but the night's aftereffects might say something. Aftereffect 1: NRG house stuck in head. Assessment: Tenaglia bit the fromage this year... Brent Nicholls tried speed garage. 2: Straights talking about the party. Assessment: The BBCM's campaign to "unstraighten" its crowd was no obvious success. 3: Back is in terrible shape. Assessment: Those bleachers were no friend to the spine. The Palais des Congrès was caca compared to the Big O. >>> Speaking of Palais des Congrès... the BBCM may be happy that the Palais is expanding--they can pack in more sausages for 1998. But the people at Isart sure aren't. Isart is slated to be torn down some time this year, as that concrete convention monstrosity will soon be taking up the entire block on which Isart sits. But before the wrecking ball smashes the place, check Isart's latest incarnation of On the Real, called 360, with DJ Devious, D-Shade, Takktiks and Botz Dynasty, Saturday ($6). >>> Shock Productions open new club Temple this Friday. I'm sure you've seen the flyer: Junior Sanchez is playing, DJs Peter Crno and, er, Joel (more on him at the bottom) spin too. The flyer's all done up sleek and futuristic... looks pretty cool. BUT! There's ANOTHER flyer out for Temple too. This one's got a swooshy Montreal skyline and horrid art deco fonts on it saying, "Restaurant Cabaret Le Temple," and "tenue de ville requise," and advertises a 5-7 p.m. performance by the shlocky Boogie Wonder Band. Of course, this sort of "doubling up" isn't uncommon. Sona's done all-ages punk shows, for example. But how Temple is going to exist as both an "underground afterhours" and a middle-aged supper club without the two colliding is beyond me. Anyway, if you see lots of floral prints at the opening, you'll know why. Info: 868-1234. >>> News you need: Goldie may visit Montreal November 8. Really. * Grace Jones is hot once again after getting a bootleg remix treatment from both Tenaglia and Mood II Swing. She'll be at Limelight before the end of November. * Howie B.'s November 2 show at Groove has been cancelled. * Roger S will play In Beat's 10th anniversary party on November 15. Even if Roger ain't your bag, you'll want to check out this one anyway for In Beat owner Chris Pronovost, who'll be celebrating his "10 years of investment for very little money" by DJing wearing only a fleur-de-lis thong and a cognac snifter strapped to his head. >>> Joel contest winner! Two weeks ago, 3am asked people to come up with a better DJing name for the aforementioned Temple jock Joel. Our extensive panel has chosen Greg Faber of Rosemere as the winner for his creative submission: "DJ Chick Finder." Now there's a natty monicker if I've ever heard one! Practically guarantees success! Congrats to Greg and to Joel, who should be happy we didn't choose J. Hollins of NDG's entry: "Joel the Bowl."
