I think that the best drawing clubs are on ground level just because people like
to look inside or see people crowded at the door before they enter. But there
are no shortage of basement and 2nd story clubs.
The Hall of Fame was a fairly large club in the basement of a mall mezzanine
on University Avenue. It was booked by a man
named Dave McGregor who was also heavily involved with the Republican Party.
I found this very odd at first, but then I realized that politics and the music biz have a lot in common. Politics, power, draw and money. They share more
similarity than difference.
A regional hub city like Seattle has a lot of
transplant bands: groups that have gone as far as they could in a smaller
town then moved to Seattle. Prudence Dredge had Missoula Montana roots and
like us now had a band and party house in the University District.
