Jan 10   New review for Star Theater.
4.0 out of 5 stars  Love everything about the Star, which I would give this venue five of if not for the load-in arrangement, which is: There isn't one. It's Band vs Downtown. No venue…

May 17   New review for Dante's.
2.0 out of 5 stars  Mostly rock, hard rock, and metal. Spitting distance from at least three strip clubs, there's a lot of hair and fishnets, like our own little sunset strip. Not sure if…
