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

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.; ▶ Reply to This
