If you’re looking for perfect plan to kill creativity, well there ya go.

This is also how offbeat, creative bands of an indeterminate genre end up with a distorto-garage-band live mix. Who gives a crap about music when there’s beer to be sold?

Is this supposed the monopoly guy or the peanut guy?
Just the free market, totally fine … why do ask? Are you communist?

Mezzanine (800 capacity, 21+)

The USA is fucking awesome!
We find a model by which to consolidate mediocrity to generate huge volumes of short term cash while just dumping any kind of regard for aesthetic or artistic quality, or – fucking hell – moral high ground, you can bet we’ll just reproduce that model again and again until the bottom feeders are moneying their way to the top while buying out politicians and the FCC to lubricate the swift throbbing transfer of funds.
And look at the bountiful harvest! All of our entertainment and news media owned by a small handful of corporations! Privatized for-profit healthcare and prisons! The RIAA in all it’s glorious splendor! And now this!
[EDIT]
Fuck yeah! We have arrived, people! Welcome to Trump’s America!
USA! USA! USA!

Looks like just under half of those are all ages clubs… A great list of smaller clubs!
And sadly, say goodby to Hemlock. 80 person capacity must be for the bar not the music area.
On the plus side; it’s a great way to hear exactly the bands you learned to love from Clearchannel live in concert!
