Alright Get Ready, Set and Plan out the next Three Days! 

Intimate shows .... Residency at your local venues

Residency is not a new thing in the music scene.  However, we arent talking about your piano bar with your normal lounge singer.  2009 has been the year of excellent local acts taking the same stage on a particular night.  It started with Lady Dottie and the Diamonds every Monday at Tower Bar.  Since that moved to U-31; the North Park scene has been growing with their residency acts.  Sundays used to belong to The Tighten Ups.  Now its Mondays with Styletones and Old Man Johnson on the ones and twos.

Besides North Park, catching a show at The Riviera Supper Club and Turquoise Room is always a great thing.  Let's not forget Beauty Bar.  The one venue you can check out a band, smoke and have a drink in your hand.  (This doesn't not count if your at a house party!)  Here is a list of bands with a normal residency in a local venue!

Sunday- 

Gregory Page @ Beauty Bar

Mondays 

The Styletones @ Bar Pink

Lady Dottie and The Diamonds @ U-31

Black Out Party @ Riviera Supper Club.

Tuesday

Brawely @ Riviera Supper Club

Make sure you Check these shows out.  All free.  Yes you read right FREE!  This gives you a reason to really check it out.
