A friend of mine was promoting a show here last night, necessitating a road trip down. Out of all the places we got during the grand "Annoyingly Large College Town" tour I liked the Cowboy Monkey the best.
I won't comment on the music of the groups except to say that one of them made me want to literally tear my eyeballs out. Just really fucking atrocious and embarrassing. However I give the place credit for booking kind of weird stuff considering the glossy feeling/look of the place. I'm pretty glad I don't know the one guy's name because come on, I know I like bad music but you don't just play other people's records, occasionally sing and occasionally add a guitar line. You lose, buddy.
$2 PBR bottles all night long. Attentive and nice barkeeps. Mix of 40somethings and college kids. Decent sound. Class organization all around.
