Not to mention really short sets with way too much downtime between
shows. Impossible to get a vibe going for the night, and most people just
wander around listening to the "background music" played between sets :D
I personally shy away from shows like this as they usually go well past 2am
(if they don't get shut down first). Why would anyone DO that? :D
