I don't where I was reading it, but someone was talking about how at these live, local shows the atmosphere is quite addicting. When being feet in front of the local musicians, which at larger shows those are to-die-for spots, and how the intimacy and feeling of the words and music are so much clearer, and that personal connection to the artist and the audience is stronger. It's great. I love it... it. It. If you've never gone to a concert like that, I suggest going to one so you can feel that feeling. Hearing the background of the songs before they are played
, meeting the young talented artists on their way in the music industry. The performance that leaves you thinking, and the EP only costs $5. I also love seeing that true passion out of the musicians playing, when they say "Thank you soo much for coming!" you know they really mean it. The guitars being played, hearing the influences, the drummer getting into the rhythm and the singer passionately crooning or just getting into it. Whether it is a mellow show at a coffee shop, or a Battle of the Bands metal show, or you are squeezing on a couch at a hole-in-the-wall venue, or standing for hours on end-- it's all worth it, it's for music. I guess this idea goes for local music because it goes hand in hand, but going to these shows has reminded me of that more and more and thought it needed to be said. :)

I've been there once and fell in love. Best place to see indie music, with getting lost trying to find it and then the atmosphere of it-- and the band I went to see. Fantastic. First picture is of the stage, second is the outside.
I have 2 EP reviews coming!
