Worth going whenever they do their "Octoberfest" for the Oompa band.

Heard Bar 101 was buying out and rebranding?

Someone who likes money. Do you see how full that place normally is?

Totally gross and all douchebags, but well off ones that can afford to throw money at a bar after a hard day of oppressing the proletariat.

On a related note has anyone ventured near the Speights Alehouse yet?

Yeah, I'm in that demographic and have been a couple of times.
It's the first bar for the Hotel/Motel set & like the Speights bar handy for the Pre/Post Stadium crowd.

I say this because every year, the pay-to-play competition seems to be a bunch of bands who's own bios basically say they're cookie-cutter rock, in other words.

Any music happening down the south end of town is going to be boring generic rock. And boring generic rock covers.

Anyone who has the misfortune of being down that end for a few minutes or more knows that. Unless they are a member of the National Party that is: Then they will want more surveys with results due conviniently after the next elections.
