Your favorite venues

The Troubador, Hollywood
The Edge, Echo Park

I think they're owned by the same people. Mercury has such a good soundsystem, though.

Lately its been ...

North Six -- Brooklyn, NY
Bowery Ballroom -- New York, NY

i wish i could put some venues in LA or something cool like that but i live in windsor, ontario canada so.....pretty much any venue in detroit. but in particular.....


Cobo Arena and State Theatre.
The Shelter/St. Andrews Hall.

WAIT.....no my favourite venue ever...DTE energy music centre or whatever its called now...in like some town in michigan bout half an hour out of detroit. i love love love it there

The Mercury Lounge in NYC will always be my home away from home.

The Opera House in Toronto is a warm and beautiful place.

The Union in Athens, OH.

Bernie's Bagels in Columbus, OH.

The old Brownies in NYC.

Maxwell's in Hoboken, NJ is a tight and quirky joint. What is better is that EVERYONE has played there.

Yeah, same folks own both. I agree, Mercury has better sound, and i love that you can watch the band from the bar, and hear a conversation at the same time.

Stinger Club NYC
Midway Boston

both dives... Fun to play at.

The Tabernacle - Atlanta, GA
Jannus Landing - St Pete, FL
Boomerz - Seminole, FL
Venom - St Pete, FL (which is now closed but it was by far the best venue in town IMO)

9:30 in DC. Best sound I've ever heard in a club.

Hampton Coliseum, Hampton VA
The Variety Playhouse---Atlanta GA
Deer Creek Music Cntr <now *barf*> Verizon Music Cntr--Noblesville IN
The Gorge--Gorge WA
Red Rocks-Morrison CO
Park West--Chicago IL
The Melkweg Hash Bar--Amsterdam Netherlands
and if im desperate i'll settle for The Electric Factory--Philly PA

i hate msg

I'm not actually from London, I just go there alot because there isn't much of a music scene in my area of Kent

That would either be The Worlds End (but they don't have a jukebox) or the Purple Turtle, those are the only pubs I go to in Camden anyway, I have been to the shit Goth pub there but the drinks were really expensive (nearly £3 for a coke!?!) but it was really bad and the music sucked, can't remember the name anyway.

xjamescorex: I find the Garage to be a mixed bag, sometimes they'lltreat you like vermin othertimes they just don't care at all. The Underworld still owns tho' great staff, great stage and a good sound. The Electric Ballroom is damn good tho' every gig I've been to has had flawless sound quality. I also have a soft spot for the Elektrowerkz, just because it looks so delapadated and has really dim lights, perfect for Black Metal gigs

Did you ever go to a dive called Manny's in bethesda or rockville maybe?

Yes! That place is the best!

First Unitarian Church in Philly, Pa
Emo's in I believe Austin, Tx
Bloomburg Cafe North Jersey somewhere
for historical purposes, CBGBs

I'll second The Fillmore, The GAMH, and Bimbo's in SF. Disagree on The Warfield. Don't like the atmosphere and the sound was pretty shitty for every show I've been to there.

I'll also add the Troubador in LA.
