I've never been a fan of multiple-room clubs or venues. There are a number
of them where I live and I find that what usually happens, the atmosphere in
each is pretty half-assed. I'd much rather each performer or the venue
itself focus on a single act. If you don't like the act, leave. Just like
when a restaurant has a 25 page menu in an effort to please everyone, the
quality of the experience is at risk of diminishing significantly. A
restaurant succeeds when it has a menu that highlights what they're best at
and the kitchen isn't overextended.
You, my friend, should have had the state to yourself.
I understand the reasoning behind having venues with multiple acts, and I
hate to say it, the average club rat looking to get high and watch girls
kiss each other could probably care less about the aural integrity of your
set and promoters realize this. Just be glad you're actually able to play on
stage and haven't yet been replaced by a video feed out of a clearchannel
broadcast booth.
I haven't had my morning coffee yet.
