Just Announced

My main gripe is the sound which is doomed to be piss-poor forever.

It's run by a group of idiots who refuse to invest any money into making it a decent venue.


They've also been known to have shorted artists in the past.
this is totally off topic - perhaps we should have an RnR Hotel gripe thread?  I have plenty!  The bar upstairs is one of my favorite bars in the city, but as a music venue it is one of my least favorites anywhere.
- horrible sound, always too loud & distorted
- stage is too low
- it's a long narrow room
- join the previous two together = poor sight-lines unless you're at the very, very front (less than 20% of the crowd will have a decent view)
- lack of ventilation, gets hotter than hell

The poor sound I'm sure depends on the performer as well. I feel like a louder/heavier band would sound awful there. I guess I'll find out this week!
r and r or dar as the worst?
I guess im in the minority as a fan of the venue.

DAR.
DAR isn't too bad when you're attending an event in which electric guitars are not used.

definitely R'n'R.  DAR *can* sound good.  RnR never does.
I went to Girls Night Out at DAR once. I was stoned out of my gourd and I did have a great time.

Just a note to you Dan….youre still missed  Hope all is going well for you.
The Clutch show just got exponentially more intriguing. Doomriders are opening.


I know it's heretical 'round these parts to say that anything could possibly be more intriguing than Clutch but…uhh…yeah.
