The Basement

Most people will only fantasize about being in a rock band, but then there are those that make it happen. Equipped with used gear earned by working part time at the local music store, and fueled by the desire to become the next rock gods, these fledgling players spend hours working on their sound. But where on earth can a new band find room to practice the craft? If you're a young musician, there's no better place to plug in to your battered Marshall amp for a practice session than in the basement. From just picking out chords while laying back on the threadbare old couch to pushing enough power to make the dirt-covered windows rattle, it's in the basement that musical careers are launched.

PromoWest now brings that feel to the public with the opening of our very own place for bands to get started. The Basement, located underneath the House of Crave, brings local bands the opportunity to play in a room stacked with everything they could ever want -- from a great sound system right down to the battered old couches. If you're a musician, there's no better place to get out and play, and if you're just a fan of good local bands, The Basement is the ultimate place to hear great new talent while hanging out with your friends. The Basement may be new to you, but when you play here -- or even just come by to listen -- you'll swear you've been here a hundred times before.
