Best Venues in the U.S. (for non-commercial acts)

[Bill Ballweber]

Let's find out where the good places for "wrong side of the tracks" bands to play are in the U.S. shall we? Include venue name, city, state...........We can all learn a thing or two.

I'll start with:
The Mohawk Place in Buffalo,NY
AS220 in Providence,RI

Don't forget to check out http://www.victimoftime.com/ It seems like they have already did a lot of the leg work for something like this.

Great point. That's an excellent site and there are a ton of venues listed there. My only beef is that it should be easier to add shows to it. I just think the "email your show to us and we'll add it" thing is a bit archaic. They should have a web form of some kind and have the event appear instantly.

[Ryan Katastrophe]

Agreed.

[Bill Ballweber]

Yeah, I've heard a lot of good things about the Bottletree...

[Bill Ballweber]

definately a worthwhile site, tons 'o info over there. thanx

[Bill Ballweber]

When I still lived in Colorado there was a place called Pancho's Villa in Denver.
That place was awesome.
