Then why are you in the 30th anniversary thread?



Hardly the greatest accomplishment in life.  And I never saw any rats at the old 930 club.  I liked the old club a lot better than the new one.  Friendlier people too.  Nicer neighborhood.  Closer to the stage. 

Don't worry in 30 years you can brag about seeing Coheed and Cambria at the club. 


No rats?  Wow, when they put Atlantis down stairs you could see them run across on the pipes.  If you ever parked out back, they would scurry from under your car when you turned the key.  They were everywhere at the old club.
Man. I feel so un-cool reading this thread. I moved to the D.C. area (College Park) in 2004 for grad school, and my first show there was a reunited and downtuned Helmet.

Throw in Tru Fax and the Insaniacs, plus the Insect Surfers, and we have a deal.
I still remember my first show at the 9:30 Club…those crazy Arctic Monkeys…
My first show at the club was The Roots in '04…it was alright….
i can't remember my first 930 show…..saw tons of industrial bands in the early 90's.  i did see cop shoot cop at the club on my 21st birthday.  fist show was probably in 91
Mine was 94, and it was Edsel and someone else. Anyone know who that someone else was? I'm curious.

Followed shortly by Thinking Fellers Union Local 282, which was a big mistake.

Only other show at the old club i caught was Letters to Cleo in '96 maybe?
My first and only show at the old space was Velocity Girl and Chisel.  I think it was a week or so before the place closed down.
why? were they bad live? i like them on record.

I remember them being kinda jam band-ish, though their recorded stuff doesn't really sound like that. Maybe I was just in a bad mood.
if you can remember it, you were not there.
TicketFly.
got em - but for what? 
At that price does it really matter?  Don't you trust Seth to provide an excellent evening of entertainment?
I trust Seth.  Yay.
