i plyed ther e last year. I though the place was great. good stage/sound. its in kind of an out of the way location, so its easy to miss.

kind of suited to louder bands, who are you looking 2 see there

dunno for sure. Mostly just surprised to see what they had booked, since that venue wasn't really on my radar before.

Built to Spill kinda made me raise an eyebrow. Meat Puppets too. I might have been interested in seeing the Lemonheads, but (surprise surprise) I hear Dando's not exactly keeping it together. Although, that might be reason enough to see the shitstorm if your expectations were low enough.

played there many times. it's a great venue. it's become a really good alternative to playing cleveland for touring bands. great sandwiches too.

I saw Dino Jr there a couple years ago - drove up from Athens. Interesting little venue, decent beer selection. Fun crowd. Check it out.

Built To Spill this weekend...

I've seen Lemonheads, the English Beat and Peter Murphy there. I've also seen a local band - I love it. Unless you are extraordinarily short, most of the sightlines are great and it always sounds good. It has a really nice atmosphere.
