venue

Hey yall! I'm new in the forum and wanted to ask a question. I run a house venue in my home state and I recently came into ownership of a really kickin' Ampeg SVT 8x10 cabinet. The idea is to backline this for other bands to come and use whenever they play, and leave a backline head on top as...

Well I have wondered about this for years. Sure, an investment in a band full of equipment would best be served by a sound systems pro, but for a starting point and fill (do do da da WhoooOOOooo) this link to sizing may please you all. How much power do you need to fill a venue with sound?

Hi Guys, I could use some advice... I have a basement which is 28x23 feet and ceiling is 8', and I want to create a coffee shop like "venue"/experience... I play as a hobbyist in a "Dad band" and my kids are learning and playing music as well. So instead of having a rehearsal room or a...

Hi peeps, My band was recently invited to play in someone's living room, as part of a town festival called 30 30 30 (30 bands, 30 locations, 30 April). For me this was a first, and we decided to go full on electric instead of stripping anything down. Part of me regretted not having practiced my...

The title says it. Here's my 2 cents, in no particular order... Room Acoustics - lively without being too echoey. Enough breaks in the room to break up standing waves, dead spots, boomy corners, etc... Shoebox dimensions with the stage on a short wall. Sound - High end gear with a great...

Has anybody ever tried the Venue with an electric instrument? I play a Squier VM 5-string P bass and I'm curious to know if it would work well. Alternative suggestions appreciated. Lookin' for something with the Tuner+Boost+DI combo. Thanks.

In today's Boston Globe there is an article stating that Ryles, a jazz club located in Inman Square in Cambridge (across the Charles River from Boston) is closing it's doors at the end of July. The property is now up for sale and the family that has owned it for the last 25 years will continue...

A local jam session that has been on for a few years has been stopped by the owners based on customer complaints. The complaint is the pool players said the band is too loud. The band talked to the staff and asked what they thought. Staff replied and said no, patrons at the bar can still talk...

well, just got word. Doing the opening set with my newest project at a nice big pro venue in a couple of weeks for a band that I tried out with 2 years ago but who chose someone else and I've had no contact with since (circumstance, not on purpose). My gut feeling says to make sure I let them...

As a frequent concert goer, this is a great idea. Some comedians like Dave Chappelle already do this at their shows. Invalid Link Removed The Revention Music Center in Houston, Texas, brings in new phone locking system to prevent audience from using their devices during live shows The...

Playing a smaller venue next month and trying to figure out which route to go. Living in Wisconsin was just going to rent through guitar center. Anyone have good or bad experiences with this? or any advice on renting equipment? I'm not looking spent thousands on purchases so hoping renting is...

Everyone -- I'm picking away at the Original Compositions Real Book -- a concept I discussed in a different thread where a jury takes submissions of original instrumental or jazzy vocal songs, and determines which ones go into a Real Book of original compositions from any source. If included in...

Sad news today in the punk/hardcore/rock/metal/whatever Twin Cities music scene: Triple Rock Social Club is closing. I wouldn't normally post about a closing except that the Triple Rock feels like it takes a genre (or five) along down with it. People are agreeing that it feels a little like a...

Hi, This will be my second time visiting NO and I'd like to visit some of the rawer places rather than the places in French Quarter. Definitely no cover band, smooth jazz band (no offense, it's just that I have plenty of them in my city). I still want to hear the kind of jazz that represents NO...

Had an interesting experience this past weekend playing in a very large arena. While the first band was on, I noticed that I could barely hear the bass, it was all lost in a low-end mush. When I heard him playing on his own, I noticed that his tone was a little "soft" and his playing style was...

I saw a post a little while ago about obstructed stages. This is from our gig at Sydney's Pendle Hill Inn, the pole is inches away from the foldback. That said, great sounding room and a great venue. What's your most obstructed stage? Pics or it didn't happen. (I'm right behind the world's...

Hello there, my name is Cody and my life's goal is to open a music venue. As of right now, I'm currently in college studying business management to help fulfill this dream of mine. As a young man I find myself gravitating to the rock and roll scene, specifically hardcore, post-hardcore and alt...
