I got my band "Sacred" and the prog rock band "Open Evolution" a gig at a little venue called the Straight Edge. It's actually the only all ages venue in the area. As the name would prompt the show has strict rules against Drugs and Alchohol, it's about the music. I think this is a cool idea, and I respect the venue's rules (but I'm definatly not a straight edge individual, mean come on it's about the drugs sex and rock and roll always.) It's a completly do it yourself in a garage rock out with your cock out kinda gig. I've heard many different opinions about the venue, but I personally don't care, and plan to rock the gig. Who can complain anyway? It's exposure, and everyone has to start somewhere, No one plays an arena their first gig. Working your way up the laddar is part of the whole experience.
Plus EVERY good rock band starts in the garage.
hell yeah, I've got to tons of concerts there, awesome, congrats on your gig, and good luck with your band.
