Your "scene" clubs / hangouts.

[Bassmaster1984]

What are some of your punk clubs in your town now and/or 20-25 years ago? Having spent my younger years in Atlanta GA. The Metro-Plex was the Punk/Hardcore capital of the south in the 80's.

[sr113]

Where I'm at now? None. Where I was 25 years ago was Mad Gardens, The Mason Jar, and The Salty Dog.

[SpikeSpades]

My main club 20 something years ago happened to be The Embryo. Free booze!(From an alcoholic Mummy!)

[soup is good food]

Since I have renounced all Western music, I ignore all current clubs. Twenty years ago, my clubs of choice were:

Nightclub 9:30
D.C. Space
Hung Jury Pub

in Wershington, D.C.

[eddcase1]

the current place i go to see bands and hang about talking shite is a place called THE LEGENDARY T.J.s
25 years ago it would have been called EL SEICO's its the same place with the same owner and the same smell

[Spiralz]

I have almost no scene at all where I live.

[sheena]

Good places to see music in STL: Deluxe,The Way Out Club, Off Broadway, Cruisin Rte. 66, Atomic Cowboy. That about sums it up.

Karova Lounge in Ballarat

The Arthouse and Corner Hotel in Melbourne

[deadendyouth]

The Cobalt, Pats Pub, Sweatshop, Seylynn, Astoria (rarely), many punk houses.

[Flores2008]

Shit The Wheelhouse which is almost all ages. and Tap Daddys which is strictly 21+, which kinda sucks. haha but the wheelhouse has had some great bands play there...
Black Flag and Circle Jerks have played down here in Hemet Ca before in random locations like abandoned wherehouses and airports haha
thats all i know of

[JennyJettatura]

There's an all ages "gay" club in Portland called the Escape. It's THE place to find guys in lingerie and girls who can't dance. It use to be The City. They played Iron Maiden and shit. It was amazing.

[Aero Autisim]

lots of diy hangouts and venues. rancho huevos, fort kakalak, whoever's house is big enough for at least 100 people to fit in.

occasionally south side bands play in the much nicer rock clubs and bars on the north side that usually host shitty, poppy north side bands. south hardcore bands generally have a bad rep with the north venues though which is why we get very few northside shows. in short the city's punk scene is divided between the 77' , oi/street punks and skins on the north, and the crust/grind scene on the south, which is also accompanied by the hardcore/thrash scene.

25 years ago it would've been the metro or an open loft.

[tattooted]

Only a couple good places here like The Basement,Scullys, and Whisky Dicks.

[Oi_Boot_boy]

Che cafe is my go-to place. im there the most. its close, always cheap, and its small and cozy. the stage is like a foot off the ground and thats it.

[jonhomeowner]

I like going to THE VERIZON CENTER.

[Joe Kersten]

I like going to THE VERIZON CENTER.

Almost a good as the Staples Center!

[jonhomeowner]

Almost a good as the Staples Center!
Is it?

[Joe Kersten]

Is it?

I don't know, I've never been to Verizon, Staples would be great for sports, shows, eh.

Well, that's how Verizon Center is. Wizards, Caps, shows...

[Joe Kersten]

I've noticed most stadiums built with basketball in mind are fairly easily converted into a setup for shows. But it's a real dead crowd since you have the stupid seats all within two inches of one another, but you can get a clear shot of the stage no matter where you are. Then again I'm a bit biased since I've never been to big on arena rock.

You lie. You've been to plenty of shows in arenas... Your band tours and plays arenas all of the time!

Oh yeah right, my bad.

"TOO big on arena rock."

CONSIDER THIS AN OFFICIAL CORRECTION!
