I had the opportunity to perform with my friends from a group called Drinking With Clowns this past weekend at a place called Plan B Microlounge. Just thought Id share my experience with you guys.
Well, first off, my over all experience was a great one. It is a pretty small venue, but despite it being a small box, the sound really is great in there. The lounge is really interesting because its located in a building shared by some bars and a restaurant. The best way I can describe it is that all the places are connected, but not connected. lol. Anyways, thats getting a little off on a tangent.
DWC is normally a 4 piece ensemble, but with me made 5. I just joined their ranks last week. They're a Latin/Reggae/Funk/Rock band who sings and jams. Theres a Guitarist, Bass, Drums, and a Percussionist, and I was playing alto sax, tenor sax, flute and keyboards. So we were kind of a big group considering the size of the place, however, like I said, although we had to do our own sound, the sound was great and the people were equally great and were very fun to play for. Plan B would be a great place especially for jazz groups and the likes. Not sure how it would be for rock, but jazz, latin, reggae, and other mellow music groups would be perfect. Im sure funk would also do well at this venue, so I guess this place would be suitable for just about any kind of music. There also seem to be quite a few music enthusiasts, young and old, in Carson who like to see live music no matter what style you play. If its good music, youll get a good crowd.
The manager and the workers of the place also treats the musicians very well. They're really easy to get to know and very helpful. So if you guys are ever in Carson City and looking for a place to gig, Plan B Microlounge would be a great place to perform. It was definitely a great all around experience for me.
