CLUB OVERVIEW:
This comfortable, low-key, alternative rock club opened in 1993 and seems likely to keep on kicking for all eternity. Every rocker who's anyone has played here over the years, from Morphine in the early days to the Decemberists and Black Lips more recently. The Black Cat has two stages: its main concert hall, which holds more than 600 people and hosts national, international, and local indie and alternative groups; and Backstage, where soloists, smaller bands, and DJs hold court, and where film screenings and poetry readings also take place. For quieter entertainment, the Red Room Bar is a large, funky, red-walled living-roomy lounge with booths, tables, a red-leather sofa, pinball machines, a pool table, and a jukebox stocked with a really eclectic collection. A college crowd collects on weekends, but you can count on seeing a 20- to 30-something bunch here most nights, including members of various bands who like to stop in for a drink. Say hello to affable owner Dante Ferrando while you're here. Concerts take place almost nightly, sometimes twice in a single night, on different stages. ...Read more...
