carusomaas11 Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 I'm sorry...but after that whole drama over Lasgo started, I just have to voice my opinion here on artists performing at clubs. I dont like it...and I think it brings down the venues that do this type of thing. If anyone went to Merge last weekend because they wanted to hear Lasgo sing the song they have heard for the 1,000,000th time this summer already....please raise your hand (to the keyboard and reply). I personally stay away from clubs on the nights they have this...I think it is a) the biggest waste of time during the night the biggest waste of $$ and c) bringing down the club scene in NJ. When was the last time you saw a live artist interrupt Danny's set at Vinyl, or how bout a 15 minute break from JP's set at Factory to hear an artist perform, etc etc. I feel a great leap forward was made by Hunka Bunka and Abyss (and other clubs) this fall/winter at taking the first baby steps at getting the Jersey scene changed around to something that is finally respectable. I feel the scene takes a big leap backward every time we have these artists perform. ..which lately seems to be all the time this summer. The night should be about the DJ spinning, not the artist performing. Sorry if this causes drama...but I've been told by some that my opinions are usually valid so I continue to post them.Carusomaas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it was not the type of performance you would expec t..........I mean the Sugar Hill Gang came on and sang Rappers Delight..the place went nuts........I think old skool performances are somewhat acceptable.........it brings back memories..........The songs today should be spun by DJs, but if TKA were to show up somewhere, I'd probably go, but I am a little bit of the old skool guido Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dknybabe2929 Posted June 27 Report Share Posted June 27 I completely agree with you...the DJ IS the entertainment, thats why people go in the first place, thats why I go anyway:dj: BUT, the abyss/hunka bunka comment...They have sooo many performers all the time, thats why I think those venues have a different taste to them now...I am by no means saying they arent fun (Manny is UNREAL at abyss!!!), but they do have a lot of artist perform, and you are right for the most part, it does ruin the atmosphere, unless its one of those exceptions ( really good artist, really good place, really good stage show) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
