This venue is amazing.
This review is mostly for the bands that play here or are looking to.
The sound guy does an AWESOME job and is excellent at what he does. Â Presale isn't too bad. Â
You can load in through double doors directly to the back of the stage. Â There's an area there to hold your gear until it is your set time. Â It is also vehicle accessible so pulling up your bus/van is entirely possible. Â
The only downside is that the stage is very very small. Â We managed to fit our 4 person band on stage with our drumset, 3 amps, 3 pedalboards and 3 mics w/stands. It was a little cramped and I can't imagine having space to bring a keyboard as well, though it may be possible. Â There's a small area near the front desk where merch can be displayed.
Let me begin by saying I thought we were going to a bar to see a band. I expected alcohol, and seating, and people my age - did I really just say "my age?"
Well, at the ripe age of 27 I never feel old. I hear my friends complain about being "old" and i'm always rolling my eyes and saying they are stupid. But, last night at The Wire, I felt OLD.
We came out to see a friend of a friend's band. We walked in and it was like an art gallery, really open, wood floors, exposed brick walls. It had that art gallery smell. We walked past the refreshment area and they sell soda, water, energy drinks and chips. Um...where is the wine? Where is the vodka? Not here, my friends.
Make our way to the stage area. No seating. You can stand, or you can sit on the floor. I have a bad back (see, I am old) and standing for a long time kills me. I was in pain :-(
Everybody there looked to be about 12 or 16. Maybe even 18. I saw kids with braces. Kids wearing tight pants and Keds and cardigans. I was out of my element.
The show was fine. The people were nice...but me and my group of friends felt very out of place. When the show was over and we were walking to our car, we saw some of the kids at the show getting picked up by their parents. Yeah.
This place isn't bad. I think when I was 16 I would have liked to have hung out at this place. But at 27, I need my drinks and I need seating.
Great place for your band to play. It's a pretty small venue but the sound is great and the guys running the sound board know what they're doing. The staff is great and very helpful. Very friendly and you can tell they genuinely love music, which is probably why they're so good at what they do! :D

great place to play!
people that work there are cool, nice, helpful, and awesome!
my band has played there a few times now and each time they have been nice and the sound is great. they also record your performance there as well. its all ages plus there are 2 bars close by if you wanna drink. also the lighting is very very cool!!
Amazing little venue that has some interesting acts. There are a lot of new bands testing the waters here which is neat. The sound is absolutely amazing. The owners really know what they are doing.
I saw Cavil at Rest (now known as Local Natives) about two years ago and I've never head such great sound anywhere else.
AMAZING SOUND!
Great owners
Newbies to the stage welcomed.
Will record your live show for 15 bucks! (awesome)
When I used to be in bands. I would play here all the time. Â Always had an awesome exprience. I feel like i'm missing out since i'm so far away now. I'm getting old and being a rockstar is out of reach but it was cool while it lasted pretending to be one.lol.
