I spent the weekend talking to local musicians who told me they have nowhere left to go if this venue shuts its doors to them. My heart breaks for these artists and I am currently working on a formal proposal to show the venue management exactly how much this community relies on them.

Seeing this level of support for our local emerging artists has been overwhelming. It proves that this music scene belongs to the small bands just as much as the headliners.

Schivas is the only reason I started going to gigs in the first place. Dont kill the local scene just to make a quick buck off some overplayed dj.

Ridiculous decision. Where are the new bands supposed to go now? You guys are literally destroying the culture you helped build.
