▸ Did you know
- Named for the Beatles' 'Mean Mr. Mustard' — patron saint of a dance bar full of misfits.
- New-wave, post-punk, goth, and industrial-dance nights ran until last call — sticky floors, buckets of beer, and a floor that emptied of anyone who wasn't there to move.
- The set spanned 1979–1996, but its heart was the 1983–1989 years.
