yes, yes i am. i dont even look 21, so a fake id is a hopeless case. i deserve to see arctic monkeys play their first show on american soil! and art brut too! just because i'm not 21 doesn't mean i love them less than anyone who is. DEATH TO SPACELAND (troubadour is so much better *gesticulation*)!
the roxy is for shitty local bands. very seldom do good bands play there. ya tak ninavizhu te ludi kto hodat v roxy gla local shows (excuse my russian). the troubadour hosts much better bands than the roxy does and is smaller, therefore it is better. and i think the troubadour is cozier. it's the outisde of the troubadour that gives you the dirty cold feeling. in any case, the important thing is that the troubadour hosts better acts than the roxy, which can rarely be argued. i've seen only seen one good show at the roxy, and that was regina, who would be brilliant wherever she played. troubadour beats roxy any day.
the roxy is pretty much the worst kind of groupies and the talentless bands that cater to their needs. it's mostly about which demented private school you're at, not how well you play. troubadour beats when it comes to acts, crowd, and atmosphere, which i think makes it the better venue.
you've only seen regina there! she's not a local artist. she doesn't go to one of the snooty schools. she doesn't have groupies (or actually, i'm sure she does... like the dinosaur man). you can't get the full roxy experience until you see some talentless local band at the roxy, which is what it generally breeds.
