Good place to see a national act
Tuesday, October 04, 2005
The showbox will never be as good as the Metro in Chicago, but then again, we aren't in Chicago...and this is about as close as you will get (barring the fact that I haven't been to the new premier yet...anyone have a review on that place?)
I like it because its relatively intimate, but still large enough to attract an eclectic mix of great artists. Also, the bar is separated from the all ages area, but unlike El Corazon, you can still watch the show while having a beer...unfortunately, this area is typically VERY crowded though, so it doesn't always make for the most comfortable experience...I typically find myself drinking a beer relatively quickly and heading back out to the general crowd for the majority of the show. Overall, a pretty good place to see a live music act.
