jason — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 13:25:55 +0000

The first of two CU/NU games at TD Park is tonight! Looking forward to a beautiful afternoon on the patio and some pre-and-post game beers. Speaking of, we’ll have the usual Happy Hour from 4-7pm and then $3 Bud and Bud Light Tall Boys all night long. Come on down!

The rest of the week is very busy with shows. Actually, we already have one under our belt. Check out the full list to the right. See you soon!

PS…That’s a big Bud!

FUN week

Very busy week ahead. One slight bummer to kick it off, with the Foxy Shazam show not happening, but do not fret. Not only has it been rescheduled for June 19 at The Waiting Room, but we will have $2 Pints of all of our tap beers tonight instead…come on down and drown your sorrows!

The rest of the week looks about as busy and fun as it gets: two sold out shows with FUN. and Sleigh Bells, the Revival tour with Chuck Ragan (Hot Water Music) and Tommy Gabel (Against Me!), Abandon Kansas, a benefit for our friends at Omaha Girls Rock, and a 9 band bill to round it all out on Sunday. Check the full list to the right! Sweet!

Gigantic Video

Big Gigantic closed out their recent tour here on March 4. Check out this video that the folks at Yimbo Slice shot to capture the memories. It’s awesome.

Busy Week Ahead

jason — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 17:11:29 +0000

Five nights of shows and a Pub Quiz this week. We’ll call that busy! The Heligoats and Touch People kick the week off tonight, and the Slowdown debut of G. Love & Special Sauce continues the fun on Tuesday. Hot tip: picking up a ticket for G. Love on Monday will save you 5 bucks!

It’s a busy week for the neighborhood as well, with the NCAA basketball tournament and the surrounding madness coming into town. We’ll kick off the weekend early with Satchel Grande and Funk Trek on Thursday. On Friday, we’ll open up a bit early for a 3-7pm Happy Hour…join us before and after the games, and then for The Lizard King (The Doors covers, great) and more at 9pm!

And one final note on our final show of the week…tickets for Matt Nathanon will almost certainly sell out before Saturday. Ye hath been warned…

Inching Towards Spring

jason — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 17:26:09 +0000

It’s almost March, which means Spring is close and the the shows are getting more frequent. All good things. Just this week we have Crocodiles, Session 7, and then Main Room shows with Cursive and Big Gigantic. It’s going to be a big gigantic weekend!

Also coming up this weekend is the onsale for Sleigh Bells. It would be a good idea to pick up an advance ticket for that one. Fair warning. In fact, it would be a good idea to pick up a ticket to either of the shows you want to check out this weekend…wouldn’t want anyone to get FUN.’d! You’re always better safe than sorry.

See you soon!

Choo Choo

We are excited to have Railroad Earth back to the Main Room tonight. Fourth time they have hit the stage! Should be another fun one for sure.

The big shows are starting to return as we make our way through the end of winter. Pert Near Sandstone, Corey Smith, Stephen Malkmus And The Jicks, and Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe in the next few days alone! And as the end gets nearer, Cursive, G. Love & Special Sauce, Matt Nathanson, Fun., Cannibal Corpse, St. Vincent, and many more. Some of these shows will certainly fill up, so be sure to pick up a ticket if there is one you want to see.

See you soon!

Gus & All

The December shows with Gus & Call continue on Thursday, with this one featuring Capgun Coup and Sun Settings as the openers. The first one was great, and the rest will surely be as well. Quick reminder on the all show passes we have. A mere $20 gets you into the rest of the shows and includes a copy of their brand new CD. Just select “VIP” for the December 8 show. Then get ready for some great music.

Cyber Monday

jason — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 16:59:36 +0000

It’s that time of year again and we actually have a couple of deals for you!

The fabulous Gus & Call will be playing 5 shows here in December, the first of which is on Thursday and celebrates the release of their brand new CD. And all of which have great lineups from beginning to end. So we have a special $20 deal that will get you into all 5 of the shows and send you home with a copy of the CD. A steal! Just select “VIP” for the ticket option on the December 1 or December 8 show. We’ll give you an all show pass when you arrive here with the etix ticket.

Another deal? $2 Pint Night tonight. Just two dollars for any of our tap beers. Stop on by and rest those fingers. It will have been a long day of online shopping on company time, I am sure.
