    • I'm gonna be in Branson, MO next week. What's cool to do there if you're older than 10 and younger than 75?

      The Echo

       

      The Five Star Bar

    • Hey guys, heading to USA for a holiday in a few days time. Would really appreciate some suggestions of some bars/venues/clubs if any that relate to anything garage. Going to be in San Fran, L.A & Vegas. The Hemlock in SF & the Viper Room in L.A are already on the list aswell as the House of Blues in L.A

    • the straynge are currently seeking a drummer and bass player in central or northern California,do you dig lo-fi garage punk?,do you wanna record,play shows and have some fun?,then we'd love to hear from you!!! 

    • August 16, 2013 9:14 AM CDT
    • I agree, the Space is a great venue and they usually have pretty good acts. I also saw Dick Dale there a couple of years ago or so. I wonder why he only plays there when he comes to Chicago, I would love to see him at Martyr's or Fiztgeralds, which are closer to me!

    • August 13, 2013 7:34 PM CDT
    • The lovely and vivacious mrs. o and I got a chance to see Dick Dale, with opening act Ambassadors to Earth, a couple three weeks ago at SPACE in Evanston.

       

      It was a pretty good show. Double barrelled surf rock! Amplification was perfect. A good time was had by all.

       

      A cozy little venue it is, bar/pizza joint in front. Order a pie, eat while you listen to music. Waitresses make sure you don't go dry.

       

      SPACE hosts a variety of acts. We'll go back for sure, if and when another act suits our fancy.

    • I was going to respond to this but realized it's from, like, a million years ago.
