Bad Music Venues

I just encountered a venue here in Asheville called The Get Down. It's a new bar/venue (there's no stage) with generally 18+ free entry, free pool tables and cheap beer.

The one thing about this place is - they book BAD music. INTENTIONALLY. Like sh!t punk bands, unimaginative beginner rock bands, just bad music. Their sound guy lives by the motto "HOW LOUD CAN THIS PA GO!"

I was just amazed at this place - and how well they seem to do. There were 4 local bands playing and there had to be at least 40-50 people there. I'd find it hard to believe the bands got paid. It's a small place and I'm sure they sold a lot of booze. Before I checked the place out I wanted to book my band there, but after going there...they'd probably turn us down for being "too good".

Just found it interesting that there's a niche place for bad music (by traditional music standards) to be played.

Tremont was a place that really went to utter sh*t. They used to book decent shows about 8 years ago. When I visited Charlotte a few years back, I was dragged there and watched some of the absolute worst crap I have ever seen live.

I've played there maybe a dozen times. With the Fillmore open now, national acts know where to go in Charlotte now.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By LegioX · Posted

      Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.

      If they lose the last three......

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
