Music so loud it makes your ears bleed is surpriseingly relaxing!
A friend invited me out to a heavy metal concert at a popular new venue in the gulag, an old fruit warehouse which now is a small mall. The basement is occupied partly by a bar, the first microbrewery in the U.S. Grant's Brewery Pub. They've always had music, and many kinds too!
This music was metal-grunge, the Cardboard Vampyre and three local guest bands which preceded them.
Cardboard Vampyres has the lead guitar who was with Alice in Chains and a guy who used to be with the Cult, a guy was forcibly ejected, by a large bouncer. I've never actually seen someone ejected so that was interesting!
I enjoyed Cardboard Vampyres, they were good!
The line at Grant's to get in was terrifying though! and they opened later than advertized, which was annoying, and I think a little hazardous. Still in a big city you'd get that maybe worse. Still the line to purchase books I wrote of earlier was actually shorter. Tells you soemthing about our gulag, loud music, definately stand in an obscene long line, books, don't do that to yourself!
