Have any of you played there? I know it's a basement in an old house used for shows. We got asked to play there and just wantd to know if it's any good. We're up for new venues/experiences. Any thoughts?

I dunno man but I like basements and old houses so it sounds like a cool gig to me.

We played the second show they ever had there when we were on tour last fall...
It was a good crowd. All ages+basement+booze means good crowd.
It was the best noise show i have ever seen in abq. (besides harlows last week)...but what does that say...
I thought Jamie was (has-been)there for the halfnormal/rc show...ask him.
anyway...cramped space/no stage/dirt floor...it doesn;t get much better....
Will be back there april fools day w/ spirit bears.

don't hesitate to play exxon valdez!
the basement is easily accessed from the back yard (a little tight on loading in but not extrordinarily so). the space is a little weird because there's a giant furnace in the center but it is a big space, rock walls (rock, not block) that absorb sound well (no complaints from neighbors), a big backyard and a crowd of people that avoid bar/club shows and who are open to all kinds of music and non-music noise..

it's a cool place.
the kids dig the bands.
it's a pain in the ass to move heavy equipment across a dirt backyard, but whatever.
