tainbey was there for Buzzcocks at Make The Music Go BANG! Festival 2014 · Sat, 20 Sep 2014
missed los lobos, and the alvin brothers, I was bummed about that, the buzzcocks were awesome as always, I had done a few lighting gigs with them back in the day, and x did the acoustic thing, not so awesome, I did even more lighting gigs with them, and the lighting system was sub par and the sound system could have used a boost, but it was fun...

But one I thought was ridiculous was how u guys handled t e VIP section and if us comsumers are gonna pay extra why shouldnt u guys reserve our shirt size. Especially if were paying extra for it. Whatcim gonna do with an XL shirt. Im a 120 pound female , I guess I can make a snuggie out of it or a window curtain

A guest for Bone Thugs-N-Harmony · Thu, 12 Jun 2014
The concert was for E40 and Bone Thugs.....and a mini concert from all the artists in OC. it was cool...but after the 6th group the crowd started getting restless. Even booing acts that kept coming out. It was SO hot...and heat, alcohol, and weed don't mix well. A few fights almost broke out but security was on top of everything. E40 didn't come out till close to 11pm...Bone Thugs after 12. They were done by 1 am and then the place stayed open as a club. Great venue...good security (even cops after the show) I would come here again. But maybe closer to 11pm if it's someone I want to see. Or make sure I am by a ledge to lean on.
Five questions about the building, not the gig
