Support Live Music! Something to do

The Big Dirty has announced that they will be closing Dec. 14. This comes just before Sam Bond's closes on Dec 18 (correction: end of December).

The reason these places are closing is simple: the audiences are not there. Eugene has a lot of amazing musicians and bands, but people don't go out to hear them.

Support local music by visiting local venues, while you still can.

Lol in this thread: “I want to support live music but I am sleepy and scared.” Do y’all hear yourselves?

Yeah, sounds like my depression is showing. Sorry my impoverished depression rubs you the wrong way.

Music used to be my main fun night out - I wish it still was. Maybe one day it will be again - but your shaming of folks doesn't help.

Punk shows have a policy of “notaflof,” no one turned away for lack of funds. There are ways around being broke if you actually want to go to shows

Every RAD show at the Wandering Goat has this policy? What are you talking about

Oh my God one fucking place? Dude your point is so valid now. Good job.

Edit: and it's a fucking coffee shop. Supporting a band or venue without monetary gains involved doesn't really support anything. That's how they get shut down. Too many broke ass people showing up. Lol.

My point was there are ways to go to shows if you are broke. Y’all are a bunch of nerds

Your privilege is showing. Know what also gets you into shows for free? Knowing someone. I got into Bassnectar at the WOW Hall for free because my friend let me in the back door. Told the volunteer he was the new shift to let him off, legend. Was a dope show, dopest ever at WOW Hall.

Just a joke because he has been exposed as a groomer and alleged sex trafficker

u/EUGsk8rBoi42p Nov 27 '24

Was guessing that, unfamiliar with those allegations. He was still #1 DJ at that time.
