I will be the first to admit I LOVED the cheesy hair metal bands. I loved how freakin huge the scene was. We haven't had that large of a music movement since. But I have officially thrown in the towel. I always try to go to the hair metal shows because I enjoyed them. The last show I saw was so so s...

Ace's has at least one of those a month, usually a few. It's all age stuff but, it gets a good crowd, and like I said before, you get the chance to open for some really big bands at times with those shows. I have actually checked out an Ace's show. Great music, crazy mosh pits but I must say I felt...

Point taken but it is a bar owners choice as to what type of entertainment they have and you shouldn't get upset with them over it, there are also places that my band wouldn't fit in / doesn't fit in, we've been to a few places where we weren't as heavy as the crowd wanted. Not every place is suita...

Ok I have been beating this one around for a bit now... I noticed people in this area tend to only see the bands they know well.. Its very hard to acquire a new fan unless they are brought out by a friend or accidently stumble into a bar.. Maybe if the bands could join together to help themselves an...

Does the Ash Street Tavern still have live music?? I am not sure how frequent Ash Street has bands anymore, but I do know that religiously every Thursday night Ash Street hosts the Desperadoes. I have checked them out on multiple occasions and its a great time - open requests all night long. I have...

In any case, what J-town really needs is a club owner that has the right amount of finances behind him/her to get a decent sized room, courteous staff, and advertises their establishment and bands in the way they should be advertised. Also, they would need to know how to treat the band with regard ...

Both places have reasonable cover, resonable beer prices and are always a good time. Get yer canes or walkers out and come on down. Yes I do agree with reasonable prices and a good time, but I have a very hard time giving a bar money when they will no longer let certain bands play because they do n...

So the word from bar owners seems to be... DJs cost less and bring in more people.. Which in turn means more money for the bar. Have we totally surpassed going to see live bands in general.. How does one increase the attendance in order for bands to give DJs such as DJ Hock a run for their money..

Yes Dougherty's is sold... The new owner stated they will be opening in August. I think it would be more advantageous to open briefly for Thunder then close to complete repairs/remodeling - if that is what they are doing.... I have heard from multiple sources Boulevard cancelled all bookings for the...

If anyone hasn't noticed lately the band scene has been slowly dying here in Johnstown... Dougherty's Terratory and Shooters is closed. Henry D's won't have bands any more - nor will the Boulevard Grill. And just this week - Around the Corner just announced no more bands. Griffith's and the Country ...
