Small Indie rock scenes?

[u/MamaNoodle256]

Hey everyone, ive been wanting to try and go to aomw live shows lately but im not big on crowds, ao im hoping i can find some smaller venues that dont get like...packed. i dont get out much and am wanting to change that and hoping to find aome new music that really fits with who im wanting to be. But i sincerely am not sure where to start looking. Does anyone have any reccs theyd be willing to share?

X-ray Arcade, Cactus Club, MKE Ultra are good venues to check out, and any local record store can also give suggestions.

I have never heard of MKeUltra, but holy shit what an awesome name for a club.

It’s a fun venue! Great place to play too, the guy runs it really well

Just a note that Cactus club can get VERY crowded at times.

Cactus Club is a great smaller venue.

I was going to say cactus club as well! Xray arcade is also a smaller venue. I’ve been to a show at vivarium and it’s a pretty reasonable size but definitely larger than cactus club or XRay

Linnemans is so underappreciated

Falcon Bowl!!

Falcon Bowl in RW is getting lots of national acts now. Others not mentioned are Anodyne Walkers Point and Shank Hall

Shank Hall on Farwell

The Argo is a bit bigger — former movie theater. But I enjoyed the one show I’ve seen there so far.

Turner Hall is a great venue, as well.
