It was my first time going to this venue and saw a Depeche Mode and The Cure cover bands last night. I certainly had a great time! My friends and I went to First Friday last night, and I ended up ditching them because they were quite flaky. We had made plans to go to this venue after the art walk, but they ended up going to some random bar to chit-chat. Ain't nobody got that time for that! I wanted to see a live band playing, so I hopped on an Uber ride and went to the Van Buren by myself! Move over Marquee; there's a better venue in town. This place is massive enough to accommodate big acts, and some of the employees are at least not douchey. I hope they bring more cover bands here like Oh' Lamour (Erasure cover band), The Smyths (Smiths cover band) and other 80's bands that I used to listen to back in the day.
