  • A guest 100% for New Politics · Tue, 17 Nov 2015

    They were awesome!!! This was my 5th time seeing them and they always have so much energy. They get the crowd dancing and singing along even if they don't really know the words. They're definitely my my favorite band!

    LITZ KILLED IT! such a talented group of musicians. Although I would have loved for a longer set. These boys had the best energy and overall sound of the night. I have never seen the band, only heard of them. But they most certainly brought the funk! So much fun, my favorite part of the night :)

    I've seen Josh Ritter 8 times, and this one blew me away! A perfect venue to be intimate and loud in

  • A guest 60% for Curse · Sun, 09 Aug 2015

    Really liked Technophobia and Curse. Citadel is more metal and not my style, but I'm guessing you're a metal fan, they would have been to your liking too.

  • A guest 80% for Interpol · Tue, 28 Jul 2015

    The opening band Cosmicide was a little bland, but Interpol was fabulous as always, with a great set list that spanned new and old. A highlight for me was "Pioneer to the Falls" that always seems to give me goosebumps. My only complaint is to the venue, for some reason the vocals for both bands were a drowned out.
