In the early 1990's, it briefly became a car-yard (''Hamilton Wholesale Cars''), before finally becoming a theatre and music venue in September 1996. [[Tania Ussher]], the then Community Arts Co-ordinator for Hamilton City Council, was a central figure in the creation of The Meteor. Notable early events that took place here were the 1996 [[In Love With This Town]] release party and the 1997 [[Contact FM]] subcard series shows. The Meteor is used mostly by the punk and hardcore scene, and hosted the annual [[Hamtown Smakdown]] events and several international hardcore acts. |
