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).
