Wierd, another Todd right before me... Anyhow, the Gaslighter is doing shows again, but not of the caliber it once was.
Other bands that once played there include:
Incubus
Insolence
(Hed) P.E.
Nuclear Rabbit
Papa Roach (ahh the good ol' days)
Those are just the bands I saw there with the exception of Incubus. My buddy saw it though.
Currently, they are booking live local acts that mainly caters to a younger 14-20 year old crowd, but they do serve beer and wine for the older patrons. A bit pricey, but they gotta keep the lights on somehow... Also, they have a "piano bar" event every Friday they just started. It's ok, I wish they'd have some larger names come through again though... and by the way, I bartend at the bar directly across the street-Oakwood Lounge. We are a dive bar, but if you're in the area, come have a drink here before the show ; )
Hella weird place. Do they even have shows here anymore??When I played in local bands from 98-03 this was the stop if you played on ol' Gilroy ( cue garkic soaked banjo music )
Huge Local bands playing here include:
Salmon
Local Oddity
Was there anyone else that packed this place? Soul Aggression.
There wasn't really any sound system to speak of. I think they mic'ed the kick drum, if anything.
The inside looks like a fake barn, it's cavernous, with not very flattering acoustics. But the old man who used to run it was nice.
Strange venue. Has to be extinct, by now...
