There used to be a club in Austin ~1990 that had absolutely ripping mosh pits and 8 hours of loud discordant music on weekend nights. They also hosted an Irish session on Wed evenings until 9ish when the main band went on.
A bunch of older (40-60+) Irish refugees from the Troubles with banjos and accordions singing rebel songs with 30 guys with safety pin piercings getting drunk and singing along.
I asked one about it, his answer was "We love playing here, feels like Belfast."
