marcodavalos Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 Just saw an e-vite (sp?) for this Thursday.Will it bring back some of the good things of the Sobe of a decade ago?I hope so.Life is for those who dare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pod Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 I doubt it. It looks like it will be one of those "faux-trashy" places, with trucker caps, West Coast Choppers t-shirts being worn by people Jesse James would sooner kick in the crotch than sell a bike to, and so forth. Christ, it's by the people who do Mynt, they're not gonna get real trashy. You're gonna see euro-trash (sorry Saleen) in trucker caps...oh joy.Faux trashy sucks. Give me real trashy any day of the week. Those places already exist and have for years now. Your average dive bar has been around longer than some of us have been alive.

marcodavalos Posted April 22 Author Report Share Posted April 22 That is why I said, I hope so ...But your explanation didn't convince me Dan ... thou I respect it ...Where you even allowed in bars/clubs in 1992 ? http://www.rokbarmiami.com/rokbarintro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pod Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 Not at all. I was 13 years old and I was staring at a 14" monitor and ranting about this newfangled thing called HTTP. However, I have a good idea on what this place will be like. The bourgeios people will not lower themselves to true trashy. If I want a trashy place that plays old rock tunes, I'm gonna go to the Deuce...tried and true since before either of us were old enough to drink Just being realistic here. I don't see this place being truly for the masses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love dancing to electronic music but I am a rock 'n' roll sweetie at heart!!! It's definitely not gonna be a dive (duh), but if they have good music then I'd give it a try fo sho.

marcodavalos Posted April 22 Author Report Share Posted April 22 At the location where pump used to be ... 841 Wash, in a month or so a new place is openingLova Rock & Roll Loungewww.lova.tvThis will entertain the masses. But without missing the point, this is a re-emergence ON THE BEACH of some much needed non-EDM alternative.The venue is awesome, lets see what happens. I'm optimistic.

pod Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 The alternative is nice, for sure. What i loathe is the corruption of the original culture by those people. Jim Morrison would undoubtedly be spinning in his grave if Rokbar turns out to be what I think it will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachjames Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 "nonjudgmental""unassuming""Pabst Blue Ribbon"Shoot, I would stop by except that I'm pretty dedicated to that Unrated party at Mansion. I *know* that is going to be a good time. Plus, no matter what they say, I bet they wouldn't let my ugly ass through the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkiexl Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 Is Rokbar equipped to do live shows? I see for this opening party DJs, not bands, like I would expect. Any place that can bring down quality live acts (not that Zeta crap) to Miami gets a thumbs up from me, there is not nearly enough of that in South Florida in general, and certainly not in SoBe. However, I think Dan is on the right track with the "faux-trashy" idea. 90% of the people there will be wearing Von Dutch trucker hats & tshirts. The culture will not be "real." However, I really hope that I am wrong, for both of these places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The name of the song is Mother, and actually brings back some good memories for me First Danzig tour, 1987, fuck yeah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidalexander Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 Chilli Pepper on Washington was always a good place for rock and alt on the beach. I hope both places do well, we need more options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pod Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 Hells Angel's - lite version wearing trucker caps and Von Dork clothing. Hear that noise, it's the forefathers of the counterculture movement spinning in their graves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pod Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 Too obvious. The glitterati will eat that shit up because it's "in". I'll be drinking cheap beer at the Deuce with the ghosts of dead rockstars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eKiTeL Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 maybe they'll have peanuts on the bar so you can eat em and throw the shells on the floor, and drink moonshine from a mason jar.... now that would be cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
