I should note: I said Paul Wesley was 33. He’s actually 29; Ian Somerhalder is 33.

no need to jump to conclusions, though.. we use in-ear headphones sometimes but it’s for monitoring vocals, as it can be difficult to hear yourself clearly on stage..

OK, if you’re going to call bands out for bringing the click track, name some names!

Comment on Vertically Integrated Venues by Andrew

With the smallest of these new venues having a capacity of ~300, they’re not competing with Pianos, Cake Shop, Union Hall, The Delancey that have capacity in the vicinity of 100 or less. These new venues aren’t competing with that part of the scene. WIth the sheer volume of local bands, the smaller clubs won’t have much to worry about.
They may reflect the fact that the fastest-growing part of the scene is in the mid-level bands– the bands that could play Bowery but might have trouble filling Irving. That it’s possible to tour in mid-sized venues.
And, Luna Lounge Mk 2 will charge a cover, unlike the previous incarnation.

I’m not really convinced about any rock venue north of 14th street (save Irving Plaza on 15th I guess) – maybe Live Nation will find a way to make it work.
I think the Bowery group was wise to pick up Northsix, since they’ve got a pretty rock solid set of four clubs. Live Nation did well in securing the new Luna, but it remians to be seen if that place will be like the old Luna (I assume it won’t be free for one).
Another question is whether these two tiers will become the only truly viable tracks for bands that want to rise up through the rock scene, and where does that leave places like Pianos (and a lot of lesser clubs).
One more note: gotta kinda pull for the local biz over ClearChannel, if things turn out to be competitive.
