This is a nice, clean venue that hosts some really good bands. The ticket prices seem very reasonable and once you find the location it's actually pretty convenient. The venue is on the smaller side which I enjoy. My main issues are as follow:
I'll never understand bathroom attendants at punk rock/metal shows. I feel like this is a "classy" service that mohawked, tattooed people slurping down PBRs all night aren't really going to miss if it's not there. It's obnoxious. I realize everyone's gotta eat, but there's gotta be something else they could hire this guy to do - maybe be a bar back or something. I don't know. I just know that one more unnecessary body in an already small bathroom pumping soap into my hand followed by a paper towel isn't necessary.
My biggest complaint was the set times. There were seven bands in total at the show I attended. Looking at the line up of other great bands LVCS is soon to host, I see this is pretty typical. I was actually going to go to another show tonight but after my experience last night, I decided against it. The local bands are allowed 25 minute sets. This is in addition to their set up and tear down time. So each band is more or less using 40 minutes of time (give or take) for their performance. Some people like this as they feel they're getting a lot of bang for their buck. But some of us also have normal 9 to 5 jobs. The band I went to see (The Misfits) didn't BEGIN their set until around 12:45 AM. The show started at 8:00 PM. Almost 5 hours before the headliner even took the stage. So I've basically decided that I won't be going to any shows at LVCS unless there are fewer opening bands, shorter set times for openers, the shows are on the weekend or I REALLY want to see the band and am willing to take the next day off. Getting home at 2:00 AM to wake up about four hours later was not super thrilling.
So good bands, good set up, annoying bathroom attendants and poor efficiency. But that's just my two cents.
