What’s up with Dunnkirk

So, apparently U.Fester’s went quietly into the night late last fall, to make way for the new 902’s nightclub and sports bar/grill Hoosier Knights upstairs. We swung by over the holidays, but to not much avail as there wasn’t a flier or hours info or contact to be found. Just the two slick signs “902’s: Out on Top” and “Hoosier Knights” and hints of the nighttime parties that went on during bar-hopping, late-night hours.
Now that IU is back in session, the party space is back open for business. Next on the club’s event cal is Friday’s show by local alt-rock group White Roberts. In the band’s own words: “Inspired by the alternative rock movement of the 90’s, songwriting team Mike Cionni and Hank Whitaker combine clever lyrics with groovy tunes to create a sound that we have affectionately termed “dude rock”. Our message is simple: You don’t have to change your clothes to listen to us. It’s a party, and everyone’s invited.” If you check the main page of 902’s, there’s a Facebook (where everyone lives these days — that and Twitter, of course) link to a snippet of their Kings of Leon cover. It doesn’t open before 9, but stays open till 3. As a day-shifter, perhaps I’ll get to check it out this weekend. If I can brave joining the throngs of college-age fans on a dancing buzz, that is.
