Yeah, I went to a couple of openings there. How is this front room at the new joint as a music venue Drinky?
It's kinda small, but, of course, it's still way bigger than the old place. It's good for shows where the audience is seated (Charalambides will ideally be such, and possibly some of the others), but it's kind of awkwardly shaped and laid out. Generally the shows I've seen there have been super laid-back. It's not the best venue, but I definitely prefer it to the Drunken Unicorn.
Also, I just checked that Tight Bros. link, and there are a lot of good shows coming here this spring. I need to start marking my calendar so I don't miss any of this stuff.
Also, it's kinda unfortunate that a lot of bands that would have been playing the Echo Lounge are now playing the shitty Drunken Unicorn, but on the other hand, it's completely awesome that some of the bigger ones will be playing at the Variety instead. I love that place, but they hardly ever book shows that I want to go to.
