Whether it be a really good, really bad, or downright ugly experience let's hear about it! I'm also looking for more venues to add to the venue page I am about to launch. So where have you played, what was it like, and would you do it again?

Well the list is an awful lot. I'm 34 and I've been playing for the last 15 years consecutively. I guess my most memorable venue would be AJ's Sports Bar in Levittown, PA. One side of the place is just that a sports bar, the other is a dedicated rock club. Decent size stage, Fantastic House PA, and prompt payment upfront and without any shady business. They draw a consistent crowd every weekend and everytime we played there it was fantastic.

Including The Galaxy Cafe & Stage (South Plainfield, A small place to play, good for bands wishing to start out.), School of Rock (South Hackensack, Huge warehouse, big stage, great sound system.), Cagneys Pub (Sayreville, Extremely small bar type resturant, not the best equipment, very disorganized.). If anybody has any other venues nearby let us know haha maybe we could play some shows together.

I'd be happy to share any info / contacts if needed -- and if anyone has any smaller / acoustic type venues (something I am relatively newer to) and can pass along some contacts in return, it'd be greatly appreciated!
