  Update - 7/22/2008

Just walked in to my apartment from a gig here and logged in just to write an update.

Service has dramatically improved, so I must give this place a 5 star rating.  The hospitality was unbelievable this time around.  Dressing rooms were SPOTLESS;…More »

I love Lehigh Valley and every hard drinkin', hard rockin' outlaw that comes to Croc Rock for a live show.  Every time I've played and visited here, the turnouts were amazing.  A quick look at their upcoming schedule tells me that the place has…More »

Excellent stage.  Spacious venue.  Decent sound.  So why only 2 stars?  

They've got five bars in the venue.  All of them separated from the orchestral area!  What possesses someone to build a bar in the lobby of the venue, but not the one place where…More »

Since it's conception as a movie theater during the roaring 1920's, The Chance Theater has evolved into an entirely different venue for the arts.  It's antique stage floor and eerie walls have resonated the melodies of great artists over the years,…More »

WARNING:  This review contains numerous childish puns.

Apparently a titty-bar excited its owner enough to erect a music venue: Mark's Showplace.  Once you penetrate the parking lot, you'll notice these clubs are abreast of one another.  Although they…More »

Think long and hard about every overseas act that you wish you could see live, but can't because you'd have to drop some serious coin on air-fare to Greece, Italy, Sweden or Japan.  I'll give you a moment...

Got a few names yet?  Good.  Cuz they're…More »

French for "Electric Ass", Les Foufounes Electriques is nothing short of a high-voltage den of misfits that serves Montreal's punk, metal, and hardcore scene with booze, live music and an atmosphere unlike anything I've ever seen.  Foufs has been…More »

You just can't hate on a venue that not only books legendary acts, but allows locals to get on the bill rather easily.  It's a rock / metal / hardcore venue, not the fucking Plaza Hotel.  Are you expecting two-ply toilet paper in the bathroom and a…More »

Of all the stops on my Summer '07 American Tour run, The Pearl Room was without a doubt the most professionally run venue.  It's intelligent design allows for your tour bus to pull in right by the backstage loading area.  Set ups and break downs are…More »

3.0 star rating
  8/18/2008 First to Review

Pounding hard tunes into St. Paul's historic Lowertown concrete slabs, Station 4 is the venue for local and national acts of the hard rock and metal scene.  Although they welcome acts of all genres, they seem to attract the swashbuckling crowd, which…More »

Hell yeah!  Did they just set up that huge BBQ next to our tour bus ENTIRELY for us?  And there's a dressing room full of cold cuts, fried food and beer?  AND there's a house crew to load in while we eat?  Holy shit.  Why can't I find clubs that have…More »

When most people are fed up with the lack of support for local entertainment, they usually just bitch and moan.  Very rarely do they ever decide to work together, open a club and try to make it in show business.  Larimer Lounge is just that - the…More »

Such a tremendous let down.  All this hype for a venue that is nothing more than a corner club which is unable to contain its massive ego and the egos of everyone who suck the proverbial phallus of its historic resume.  The Doors played here 40 years…More »

I love venues that have a professional crew on staff.  It just makes performing there so fucking enjoyable and The Clubhouse was exactly that.  They truly aim to be a full-service nightlife spot, providing not only live entertainment and booze, but a…More »

This is a great little club to perform and to visit.  Noted for its futuristic / sci-fi decor, Launchpad is aptly named.  How could I not enjoy playing inside the control room of a spaceship?  

Drinks are surprisingly cheap, but then again I'm not…More »

Who the hell designed that wicked, coke-dealing rabbit with the top hat?  If Alice is in here soliciting herself for smack, this is going to be trouble.  From the moment I laid eyes on that thing, I knew tonight was going to be a great gig.

There should be a law in Nashville that prevents any venue from being open in the summer unless they have a WORKING AIR CONDITIONING UNIT!  I have never seen so much sweat burst from my pores in my entire life.  There were torrents running down the…More »
