In the mid-80s, despite of the existence of several good rock bands in Metro Manila, there was no venue for them to play, or for that matter, for their fans to watch them. Except for sporadic concerts and parties held by college kids at the time, the rock scene was basically non-existant.

In late 1987, seven UP students put up a tiny club in Timog, Quezon City called Red Rocks. This soon became the home of many musicians and bands of the existing music scene. Included in its roster were then unknown bands like Afterimage, Ethnic Faces, Binky Lampano, Runaway Boys (later to become Rizal Underground) and Anno Domini (later known as Mutiny)

In the middle of 1990, Red Rocks closed its doors due to financial reasons. The rock scene was then placed in limbo. The bands were left with no place to play -- especially the heavy rock type. The rest were accommodated by Mayric's (then still a folk house) and the very few venues that would accept them.

December 8, 1990: CLUB DREDD opened its doors in the exact same location abandoned by Red Rocks. It was founded by Skavengers' drummer and Red Rocks A&R, Patrick Reidenbach and Skavengers' manager Rob Sunico. The club was named in tribute to their favorite comic book character. They somehow scrounged together enough money to start its operations.
