It’s been a while since anyone’s posted here and I wonder if I’ll get a reply, but it’s been bugging me to no end trying to confirm that I saw either Alice Donut or Ed Hall on New Year’s Eve at the old Firehouse! I remember the band giving the crowd all that glow in the dark paint…it must have been Alice Donut….anyone else remember that? This was the early 90s.

the sessions look like play, they are carefully designed to engage and reinforce children’s social skills by asking After all, in the first six years of life.

The Kilowatt had shows twice a week. Thursdays and Sundays I think. Shows started promptly at 8. 3rd band would be off no later than 11:30. They had an obvious clock on stage and you kept to the schedule. I liked playing/going to a show there and being home by midnight.
When I heard the owners were ending live music there (they barely wanted it there, hence only twice a week and no music through last call) because they could make more money from just people drinking… I stopped going there. Dave Kaplan used to book shows there and really did a great job.. he moved on to greener pasture being The White Stripes Booking agent….
Before the Kilowatt, it was a venue called the Firehouse, maybe? – I think it used to be an old Firehouse… saw some shows there.. Bratmobile? Yes. That was like 1993-1994. ish.

I was there. One of the bands had ignited their cymbals with lighter fluid, yea?

The Farm!!! Brings back memories of a Halloween show featuring the Butthole Surfers sometime around 1988ish. Blew my mind completely.

I enjoyed the Bar Feeders, Clarke Nova, and Poison Idea there among others. And tobacco.

The owner of The Watt still holds a cabaret license and has done special shows over the years. I miss the old days of hanging on Broadway. The Mab, Rock On Broadway and The Stone. PS, if you go into The Watt and look at the tobacco stained shirts hanging from the ceiling you will see a small selection of the bands that have played there.

But yeah, how about Budget Rock 2010 where Jack played Friday, Oblivians played Saturday and Reigning Sound played Sunday? Whoa.
