Does anyone remember this club?

Hey, one of those nostalgia questions. When I used to live in Fresno (until the mid 90's) there was a nightclub in the tower district that had a lot of alternative music & we cannot remember the name. They had some well known acts and some great local bands like E is for Elephant & Let's Go Bowling used to play there a lot! I think it may have closed in the late 80's. All I can remember is that the name was somehow related to airplanes or flight. Boy the Alzheimer's is setting in! I'm also wondering if it is the same place that is now called, "Club Fred." Anyone remember it or know what the hell I'm talking about? Drawing a blank on the name is driving me crazy!

    'The Blue' as the locals called it closed in the early 1990s i think it ended around 1992, then it turned in to a DJ House music club called SoHo, as SoHo's it had a lot of problems or was that when it was called 'Jax House', It may have been last known as Club Devotion or Elementz?

    The Wild Blue
    Soho
    Jax House
    Club Devotion or Elementz

    see the ABC history for 1145 N Fulton St. from 1992-2003

    I only ever went there was in the last days when it was known as the Wild Blue, and then maybe once or twice with it was called SoHo's... the last show of a live band I saw there was the late local Led Zeppelin tribute band 'House's of the Holy'

    I do remember seeing E is for Elephant and THC play at the blue for an Ed Rosenthal and a Proposition 215 rally... oh yeah, I also remember you could still smoke in Bars when the Blue was still open.
