   The Space, Hamden CT

   So we made it to the Quietdrive show last night. We saw a total of six bands, and I’m going to write up a little review for you all once I get back to school and I’m all settled. Overall the show was pretty good, I’ve spent months trying to find the name of the band and song that I used to listen to, and they happened to be openers. Kevin was nice enough to sit down for an interview after the show, and Justine will be writing that soonish, also we have tons of pictures, so we’ll post them as soon as we can. We also are going to request a Hometown Hereo interview with a band we met last night from Boston.

   But I’ll explain that when I write my review, this post isn’t about the music. This post is about the venue. The Space in Hamden, CT is just that, a space. Tiny, only about the size of a house basement, tickets consist of a hand stamp, and the stage is just a step off of the floor. Though they are well staffed, security is at a minimum, they don’t really interfere between the fans and the band, which makes for the show to be a bit more enjoyable to not have to reach around a security guard to grab the hand of your favorite artist.

   If you’re looking for an intimate venue, we’ve decided being there is almost like being at a party, the band is playing, and theres a food bar in the back serving all types of food. The bands are allowed to socialize with the crowd. The only drawback for a band may be a lack of people. There was probably 30 people tops in there last night, but it was decently full. Several of the opening bands introduced themselves to us, and everyone else, striking up conversation, and you could see Quietdrive lurking in the back of the venue talking to some people, and watching the openers.

   The sets are short. Five or six songs for the openers, eight or ten for the headliner. There are comfy couches lining the walls for people to sit on, and tables and chairs in the middle of the room. This venue is cute, and cozy. And perfect if a band is looking to play to a small intimate crowd that they can have fun with. As for the concert goer, this place is perfect if you’re hoping to meet the band, and also parking is a breeze, it has it’s own parking lot, rather large, and doesn’t charge.

   Over all, this is a venue Justine and I would like to frequent, however its about 2hrs and 30mins from home, so we probably wont. We are going to search for a cozy, intimate venue like this in Boston, and around Western Massachusetts. This venue is even perfect if you’re bored on a Friday night, and want to go out with a friend and hear live music.

   Check it out if you’re from the area, and haven’t been. If you’re not, and a band you want to see is playing, trust me it’s worth the drive. =)

   That’s all for now, I’m going to try and get the review up in a timely manner, but I’m still operating without a personal computer.

   Later Folks. =)
