Appreciation post: That basement show in Burlington made me ditch festivals for good.

Nothing compares to the raw energy of a band playing to a packed room of fifty people.

That sweat means you gotta check for leaks after the show.

Man, I used to think venue sweat was just gross and nothing else. But seeing it like that actually makes sense, gotta double check everything after a show like that. Totally changed my mind on it.

My friend caught a set at The Hideaway in Seattle last month. He said the bassist jumped into the crowd and everyone lost their minds. That kind of thing just doesn't happen at corporate festivals.

Bet the sweat dripping from the ceiling beat any overpriced beer tent. What band played, and did you chat with them after?
