as220 providence venue[views:6539][posts:36]___________________________________ [Feb 11,2009 5:09pm - karnivean ""] how is the as220 venue?? is their a stage? do they sell booze? we'll be playing there in march and i never heard of the place. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 11,2009 5:11pm - Czarnobóg ""] Its a good venue, right downtown. Holds like 240, I think. Decent sound. There's a bar and burrito station that's part of the complex. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 11,2009 5:12pm - RustyPS ""] burritos? FUCKING SOLD |
| _______________________________ [Feb 11,2009 5:19pm - Seth ""] I have played this place like three times in Ascendancy and it is a cool venue and good food, beers and people and cool to hang out. Not a bad sound and stage... go for it.!:satancross: |

| ___________________________________________ [Feb 11,2009 5:36pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] Lamp with a vaguely negative comment? Its more likely than you think. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 11,2009 5:51pm - Lamp nli ""] Oh no, I should never speak my mind on a public forum! |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 11,2009 6:14pm - karnivean ""] lampnli?? what does that even meen....OOOH i get it now.[img] |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 11,2009 6:16pm - Lamp nli ""] Basically what I was saying is that sucks you've never heard of AS220 and you should really go. |
| ________________________________________ [Feb 11,2009 6:39pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] LOL Yeah, is awesome. Cheap good beer, burritos, location, size, blah blah blah. GET INTO IT |

| ____________________________________ [Feb 11,2009 6:57pm - RichHorror ""] They don't play any music terrible enough for Ken to go to. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 11,2009 6:59pm - Lamp nli ""] Next time there's an Armageddon Shop show at AS220, I'd recommend going. Those are always fun as shit. |
| _________________________________________ [Feb 11,2009 7:03pm - orgymaggotfeast ""] also....if you are a fan of good beer.....they sell unibroue products(maudite, trois pistoles, ephemeres, etc.) |
| _______________________________ [Feb 11,2009 7:22pm - slymo ""] yeah im playing one of the b-sharps nights there in april. i always love playing that place. the sound guy actually knows what he's doing but dont play any covers there... |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 11,2009 7:23pm - RichHorror ""] Best venue in New England, imo. |
| ________________________________ [Feb 11,2009 7:32pm - STLUCI ""] as220 is a great place to play for many reasons . #1 you get good traffic from their already present customers . #2 reasonable drink prices #3 decent and resonable food #4 good sound / good size stage #5 any band can play there ( except cover bands -no covers allowed ) #6 the staff is great there . we are ( GraveSideService ) are playing there on march 15th . anxiously anticipating our return to AS 220 |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 11,2009 7:33pm - RichHorror ""] I've never played there. So lame. |
| ________________________________________________ [Feb 11,2009 7:36pm - whiskey_weed_and_women ""] I'll take the case. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 11,2009 7:37pm - dreadkill ""] what happens if you play a cover? |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 11,2009 7:37pm - Lamp nli ""] I saw Shred the Past do a Minor Threat cover at AS220 once and as far as I know, nobody flipped their shit. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 11,2009 7:38pm - RichHorror ""] Providence is weird like that, So rare to see crowds go nuts unless Dropdead is playing. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 11,2009 7:40pm - Lamp nli ""] That's not what I meant, god damn I'm being misinterpreted a lot today. People were singing along and dancing and what not, I meant I don't think anybody in the staff had a problem with it. I never heard anything. Shred the Past also definitely played AS220 since then. Also, people always go crazy for Third Death, guaranteed. |
| ________________________________________________ [Feb 11,2009 7:41pm - whiskey_weed_and_women ""] neither of those bands have played a show since 06 |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 11,2009 7:41pm - RichHorror ""] I think that of Providence regardless. It's like a different country. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 11,2009 7:44pm - Lamp nli ""] whiskey_weed_and_women said:neither of those bands have played a show since 06 This is why Providence is weak as fuck right now. There needs to be some new bands there, fast. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 11,2009 7:49pm - Lamp nli ""] PS: I saw Third Death on May 3rd, 2007, so... |

| ___________________________________ [Feb 11,2009 7:57pm - Lamp nli ""] Actually, now that Verse has broken up, Providence is better now, haha. |
| ________________________________ [Feb 11,2009 8:05pm - STLUCI ""] as220 is a state funded establishment funded by some grant for the "arts" . one of the stipulations in the contract to play states , "no covers " all original music must be played . i'm sure bands sneak in covers and the staff isn't able to play name that tune perfectly . we covered the theme to the movie phantasm last time we were there and no one said anything . |
