Friday night was my second metal night of the year. It’s getting weird. Most of the metal I ever listen to at home is proto-metal, borderline rock, like Black Sabbath and Motörhead. But the bands are so damn committed and the fans so wholesome that it’s about the best live rock music experience you can have in CT. @bulletscript and @boargazmofficial absolutely rocked. The sound was truly deafening . And it was a fantastic evening out thanks to the invite from @sad_ivan.
This joint has never been more important. One of the few live music venues left in Observatory. Closed during COVID but then reopened under new management. Ever since the first juke box and then the first disco back in the 50s, the eons old practice of live music recitals has effectively been rendered obsolete. But by making a big show out of it, that death has been postponed. But it’s often quite a hard sell against the very flamboyant and immersive forms of entertainment it now has to compete with. But for those of us who love it and do it, there’s no real substitute. ...
