[Photos/Live Show] Holy Fuck @ The Music Hall

[bhanesidhe]

I mentioned Mel and I deftly managed to obtained entrance to see Holy Fuck @ The Music Hall. There was scheming involved for this and a bit of plowing through a naive teller. I felt it was a decent gig, with well more than decent booze, but in retrospect things get blurry. As my dear Vic here demonstrates;

Vul: I had a great time tonight. Saw a band I really liked!
Vix: don't really care.
Vul: no, honestly it was cool. And they were headliners with no vocalists. It was neat!
Vix: oh. That IS interesting.
Vul: don't sound so surprised. Anyway, I was impressed, but you know me. Any decent enough bass-line and you may as well stick me in a cage to dance for all the spic I'm worth.
Vix: Now I don't like this band.
Vul: well, I liked 'em. But no one else danced-- fucking New Yorkers. Just standing around nodding like a bunch of inebriated pigeons. Felt like an idiot afterward, regretted nothing, but still.
Vix: So, this band made no one dance with you... I like this band.
Vul: what a fucking lousy night.

Hey you! How did you like the venue? I walked by it the other week, but I haven't seen a show there since it went up. It looks pretty highly designed from the outside.

Actually, I have no idea what it looks like from the outside ^^;

Do you know what? I'm actually surprised with how much I liked the place. Genuinely even.
I hated the stairwells but I always do so that really doesn't decide anything for me. I think this case it was mostly because of the ridiculous neon lighting but for someone who has knee-problems and avoids them they were manageable, navigational enough even. But the levels were really ace, like these half-floors above and beneath actual seating/standing floors so there was always a place to lounge and order drinks from. Staff was ridiculously nice even though they were obviously hired because they looked the part. I think they meant to be scary but damsel-in-distress mode worked waaaay to easy on them. Normally my preference for live show is to stand but will all the options. I sort of wish they have clubs nights instead of just show nights, because just the exploring and nesting was a highlight of the venue.... or maybe I'm wrong about that and I would have actually forced my way to the front row had it been a band I knew. Either way, I think that's a good sign considering how finicky I am about venues to begin with and my willingness to attend there again.
