Why haven't I gone to this place earlier?!
Often times, I have walked past the bizarrely painted acid-trip that is the Palace's Mural thinking it was nothing more than a run down building with a tiny burrito place stuck in the middle of it. I never knew it was a concert venue until I went to see Local H and Helmet live.
Call me crazy but despite how messy and grungy it looks, I really dig the atmosphere of Lee's Palace. The place is a total rathole, perfect for listening to Indie, Alternative Metal and Grunge bands play live.
I also found the ticket prices to be incredibly affordable at $30 a pop so I'm definitely inclined to see more shows in the future should any good bands come around to play.
Only thing I wish this place had more of are tables and chairs. I get that it's a relatively small place and while there is a good sized mosh area, the fact that once the seats are taken and all you have left is to stand is just a little pain-in-the-ass-y.
Regardless, I look forward to coming again for sure!
