Sac has a growing indie-music scene with several bands well known in the SF, Portland, Austin circuit. and if I want to see a great indie band from the Bay Area or my hometown of Portland I find them downtown or in Davis. who the hell plays the underground in roseville or club retro (a church) in Orangevale??? give me a break, nobody in the music scene knows or cares about any city in this area but Sacramento and Davis. |
Nice one! Kudos to reading my previous posts. First off, you are completely full of it. You have no idea what you are talking about, and obviously do not know anything about The Underground or The Boardwalk. Fact: almost no signed bands play at any of the venues downtown, excluding Jackie Greene, who also plays in Roseville. The signed bands that play at The Boardwalk, and The underground, do not play downtown because there are only over 21 bars, with maybe 10 to 40 people at most, drinking beer and watching your band play (boring...). Bands might be lucky to score $200.00 Whoopie! Thats crap. The Distillery, Old I's, Maryilins, Blue Lamp etc are all puny and tiny venues with small or no stage, garnted the Old I sound guy is really really good, but the tiny stage and small room sucks. Tuesday nights Lipstick is the coolest thing Old I has ever had, the live band sene is suffering. Signed bands and national acts you see play at The Underground every weekend, as well as the Boardwalk. Both venues hold about 200 to 400 people and are packed with kids moshing and having fun, not a bunch of old people drinking beer and gawking at the few girls around. Empire is your only good venue in DT Sac. Indie music? What the hell is that? LOL.. Your old dude. SF, Portland and Austin circuit?!?! You totally made that up, you have no idea what a circuit is! LOL! None are related, Austin's scene, mostly college kids, is great, and I have played there many times. No one in Austin cares about Sac, it is a joke there. Portland?! A growing scene but not that great sorry. SF? An amazing scene with great venues, but also completely disconected from Sacramento. So some bands from Sac play at Hotel Utah (another tiny venue that is easy to book, so Sac bands get to play in "The City" in front of 20 or so people), WOW! I am impressed...Not. Dude, you make up stuff, there is no circuit. No touring company that has national acts has these venues or indie bands you so worship on their list. How many bands signed by Hollywood records play downtown? None! No one outside the grid cares what Alive and Kicking has to say about music. About Davis, sure G street pub is a great venue and pays well. Also, no connection with DT Sac, how many bands complain about never being called for a show there, so many I have heard complain they wont even get a shot. Mostly because they want a fun, dancible enviroment at G Street, not the "Indie" no talent hacks that play DT. BTW, the highschool emo rock stars you seem to be bitter about (most older people dont get new music, so I understand) are the bands with the large crowds, national tour like the Vans Warp tour and others, and are making all the money. Sorry dude, your kind of clueless about the music scene.
