For local shows we don’t have much to choose from but Blackthorn is pretty sick and the people are also sick and it’s local so supporting local businesses is sick. This other one is an almost 4 hr drive but Bottleneck in Lawrence KS has a lot of great bands pass through and the vibe is immaculate and the crowd is always top notch too. Saw The Chats there and it was everything I could have hoped for and more. A closer one is George’s Majestic Lounge in Fayetteville AR. Down side is that the train tracks are right beside the venue so when it passes through you can’t hear a damn thing and have to wait for it to pass (happened during little Been Stellar were playing).

I feel like vibes-wise some venues that might be good for you are Pete’s Candy Store, Purgatory, or Sundown.
If you’re looking for other people to play with, let me know! My band’s def a louder vibe and we already have a show that weekend but possibly could do both if needed. (we’re called Hands First)
Will definitely try to come see you play either way!

Of course two of my favorite live show experiences - Classic City Wrestling and DBT Heathen Homecoming - can be combined to make something INCREDIBLE.

I have a small leather purse that I thrifted a millennia ago and it carries: my iPad (doesn’t fit), lotion (jergens), keys, wallet, q-tips (???), face masks, and stickers (obvs).

Go! (Which also constitutes as a Christmas movie), Electrick Children (the first indie movie I ever watched), Green Room (Anton Yelchin my beloved), and Ginger Snaps (I love girls who turn into a beast and tear everything apart 😫).
Honorable mentions: Ya No Estoy Aquà (literally killed me but amazing nonetheless), Cube (Saw before Saw), and Tremors (🪱).
