Honestly when I walk in that venue now I just feel like i’m constantly being sold to and not like i’m there to have a good time and go to a show. it’s turning into Live Nation Lite ™
I've only been to Mahall's a handful of times; never played there (wrong kind of music, lol). Bravo and AEG gaining control of venues usually means that local artists are excluded from those spaces; including opener slots on bills that help the best of them reach the "next step" of the business. Lakewood has more 100-400 cap venues than anyplace in the Cleveland area, so I don't see how an 800-cap space is gonna thrive. If it does, then who's gonna lose? The places my peers and I can still play.
