The Boom Room
Friday, June 23, 2006
A hostile takeover of your high-school gym. It's standing-room only on the hardwood floor, which stretches across the second floor. Ample stage space leaves plenty of freedom for bands. The acoustics, like your high school gym, are a bit boomy.
The standing aside, seeing a show here can make you a bit weary. Logan Square Auditorium is without a face -- there's no marquee or information desk, just a haphazard crew whose members seem to take on all duties. I'm guessing it's because of this that the shows tend to start late.
The information you do get is printed up on tiny cards, just a massive list of future acts. The LSA does get points here for curatorial skill, as some really rare acts play here.
You'll probably end up seeing a show here because nobody else has booked them. But it's very possible to enjoy your show in this space.
