"The Midnight" Put On Great Show In This Venue!…read more SITREP First time here! Never been to this venue before, so I was excited to check this place out when we got tickets to see "The Midnight" show this past Sunday evening, Sept. 20. THE SETUP First off, we got tickets for the Band's VIP pre-concert meetup requiring us to be there by 5:15pm (Doors officially opened @ 7pm / Music started @ 8pm). The venue is pretty spacious, and I'm just talking about the entry-way lobby: Large windows, beautiful murals, plenty of people to stand in line, congregate (my own personal gripe: there can't be enough ancillary seating in whatever part of the venue you're in, including the lobby; 64 years old here, not a fan of possibly standing for 7 hours, right?). But moving on, we were ushered in by venue staff into the main auditorium where the band was doing their soundcheck, so we got to watch the band practice for about 15 minutes on some of their songs while we were allowed to hangout and watch. MEET & GREET We were ushered back out into the lobby where we were able to cluster around Tyler - lead singer of "The Midnight" and have a great conversation! There were about 25 of us having an intimate chat with him which was a lot of fun: people asked questions about their music, inspiration for their lyrics, decisions on how many band members to have, etc. I always love pulling the left-turn, throwing a wrench into the flow, and asked Tyler, "How is it travel with the touring logistics with the diesel and other accommodations getting much more expensive? He was nonplussed but did say, "I've never been asked THAT before!" But answer he did. In fact, the band's manager chimed in and they both joked "Hey, if anyone wants to chip in on fuel costs, we're not too proud!" CONCERT The band rocked! Excellent show! The stage was elevated so no matter where you were standing on the main floor you had a decent view of the band. Luckily for us "old folks", there was bench-like seating all along the wall all around the perimeter of the room. Thank GOD. Suzanne and I took turns getting drinks but also managing to not give up our seats. We noticed the large balcony above and hadn't researched whether these were a different category of tickets. We noticed that it appeared (although it coulda been the dim lighting) there were no seats up there but rather three (3) separate rising tiers of bar-like rails for people to put their drinks on and lean against. LIGHTING An excellent feature about this venue - in contrast to it' most obvious competitor ACE OF SPACES - is that Channel 24 allows the venue, if desired, channel control of the auditorium's lighting-system to be controlled by the band's sound engineer: during heavy pulsating bass/drum rhythms, or percussive guitar work, the lights all around the room can pulsate with the songs rhythms. SERIOUSLY cool! DRINKS Ah well. Drinks at concerts, or festivals, or fairs, etc., are going to be expensive. My Jack & Coke, and Suzanne's Appletini were a coool $40 together w/o tip. So FYI. PARKING & MASS TRANSIT OPTIONS The venue is located right off the 23rd Street Light-rail station making it ideal to come to on mass transit with bus stops also conveniently located close. On this occasion, we drove to the venue and chose to avail ourselves of the $30 secured lot just in the next block from the venue (the other side of the lightrail tracks). THE LOWDOWN Channel 24 is a very good venue overall and I look forward to catching my next concert/show there.

I went to see Molchat Dolma. Being my first time, I had no idea what to expect. First off. Well organized line. Its nice the merch area is away from the main entrance. Most of all, you can stand/sit anywhere. You can be on the floor up on the balcony or if you need to stay off your feet the upper seats. The sound was good. I was standing center to the stage. I also like how there is plenty of room for crowds. I like Channel24. This venue makes Ace of Spades look like Chuck E Cheese.

Since their heyday, they've had their ups and downs with changes in music and on-air personalities, but they always had something to keep me listening. No longer. The stale playlist has sucked for a long time, non-existant promotions, and now that Pat Martin and TDS are gone, I've moved on. Audacy screwed the pooch, not just in Sacramento, but looks like every station across the country. Just take a look at their stock price and it's clear they're on life support. Once PM retires from the Eagle, terrestrial rock radio will be dead in Sacramento.

This started as an Internet-only all 90s station, or 90s On 9 via satellite radio. It's supposedly…read morethe first FM station nationwide (?) to feature this format. I knew Sacramento was a test market for new products & services, but this is TORTURE like animal testing. Basically, a computer was hired to play songs that were commercially released during 1990-1999. What I liked about that era was the alternative rock and grunge rock KWOD 106.5 FM played. The Buzz still plays Pearl Jam, Cake, Stone Temple Pilots and Nirvana -- but they mix in TLC, Prince, Faith Hill, and Notorious BIG. That's like a cook who has dropped a filet mignon (or tofu patty, if your vegetarian) on the floor, intentionally stomped on it a few times, put it back in the frying pan and served it to you on a fancy schmancy plate. IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT when your food has WEIRD BITS in it!!

Yeah I GUESS we still have 98 Rock, but they still cater MOSTLY to hard rock and classic rock, sure they're playing some alternative to try and make up for KWOD's loss but it's not the same. LET ALONE how small of a repertoire The Buzz has, I mean shoot I hear more "replays" on The Buzz than on 107.9 The End..... It's ok I don't even listen to shit ass regular radio anymore. I do sincerely feel sorry for anyone without the luck of having Satellite radio and or an i-pod. DIE BUZZ DIE!
