On Stage #14 - Taste and Perspective
A continuing series of insights from the stage at the local club level...
14. Not all music is for everyone, hence the proliferation of "Your Favorite Band Sucks" T-shirts. Not only does this mean you shouldn't let the lack of appreciation for your unique take on Klezmer-influenced Swedish death metal get you down, you should probably also refrain from ragging on the drum-machine-accompanied bagpipe player. Just accept that not for everyone isn't synonymous with bad.

The Josephine
 |
| Serious lack of photos of The Josephine without a band in the forefront. I'm using ubik. because I know we don't mind |
With that out of the way, there are shows at The Josephine constantly (and not just on weekends). Converted from an old theater, there's no formal stage, but there is a large “stage area,” and a much more coherent and powerful sound system than a few clubs I could mention. Shows at The Josephine tend to have a scrappy, personal energy that comes from playing a party mixed with the more traditional club trappings that come from bigger clubs: bigger bands, capable staff, and good sound.
If I'm a little sketchy on the details, it's mostly because... well, The Josephine lives in a grey area between a venue, a private residence, and a practice space. I have no idea what rules apply to this place, and I don't want to cause them any problems.
