Soooooo. I know I like to complain about acoustics in clubs. And I can't say anything bad about the sound in this place. So why is this place so terrible for concerts?
Full disclosure: We had our wedding here, and it was awesome, but mostly because of the people we invited, and of course, us. We could have had that thing at a god damn Shoney's and it would have been amazing.
So, back to the point. This place isn't huge. So it strikes me as strange that they decided to dominate the very center of the space with a spiral staircase. "Why did they do that?" you ask yourself as you trip over the wires and barricades that are set up to split the under 21's. It creates the illusion that the place is jumping, but it really feels like waiting in line at Qdoba during the lunch rush.
The owner is the same waste that used to own Metropol. Even in an acoustically superior church setting, he just WANTS to make things sound like shit with metal sound reflectors. He can't help himself!
In this situation though, we just have to kind of say, 'well, that's good enough' and just go on with our lives.
