FIRST, Ministry of Sound (MOS) dance club closed on Monday after its last party last Saturday. Now, mainboard-listed LifeBrandz has also shut down its chic Kandi Bar by Hed Kandi.

The two-year-old Kandi Bar in Clarke Quay opened here in late 2006. It got its name from the cult music brand Hed Kandi.

Occupying over 111 sq m, Kandi Bar, which featured downtempo dance music, was a popular hangout for young professionals.

When contacted, LifeBrandz executive vice-president Bernard Lim did not say what will become of Kandi Bar's premises. He would only say MOS' premises will be undergoing renovation soon and will reopen in December.

MOS and Hed Kandi are franchised brands belonging to London-based MSHK Group (formerly MOS Holdings). It owns brands such as MOS, Hed Kandi, Euphoria and Global Underground.

The closure of the two clubs comes at a time when the two parties are entangled in a lawsuit.

MOS International has alleged that LB Investments - a wholly owned subsidiary of Lifebrandz that ran MOS - had violated its licensing guidelines, including not playing the right genre of music and not maintaining a stable website.

MOS International also said LifeBrandz's focus had been on promoting its stable of other nightclubs in Clarke Quay such as Fashion Bar and Lunar.

British-based Nimbus Holdings, which owns the MSHK Group and MOS International, has also sued LifeBrandz, alleging infringement of Nimbus' registered trademark comprising the logo.

Mr Lim said on Tuesday that LifeBrandz has instructed its law firm Tan Kok Quan Partnership to file a claim against MOS International in Singapore this week.

club scenes in singapore is dying down. stop closing anymore clubs! lol~
