The Trasheteria

(300 person capacity - 52 Macdonell St - 519-767-1694)

Downtown Guelph's most feasible option for a big indie show. Make sure that you can draw enough people to at least partially fill the place (200 or so people). Only place in town with a real stage. Mostly punk, hardcore, ska, and big name indie acts. There is a partial sound system at the Trash (mains and power amps) and there is a full system in house that is available for rent. Generally won't do shows on Friday or Saturday night, unless they end before 10 pm. They will do split licensed shows.

Jimmy Jazz

(80 person capacity - 52 Macdonell St - 519-767-1694)

This is the most likely place where you can get show, if your band is unknown. They generally do bar deals, if you are completely unknown. You can't charge a cover here. There have seen some pretty good acts here like Joel Plaskett, Bloodshot Bill and Cuff the Duke when they were still small. It helps that it is free because there is almost always a crowd. Not the best place to be if you're a quiet act (people are there to drink), good if you are an electric act that can win people over, and you can there. The Jimmy Jazz is attached to the Trash. They do shows on the patio in the summer.

Van Gogh's Ear

(100ish-?? person capacity - 10 Wyndham Street North - 519-821-9864)

Located at Guelph's busiest late night intersection, Van Gogh's does concerts on the first floor Wednesdays and occasionally other nights (there is a rotation of regular performers on most other nights). They own a small sound system. You can't charge a cover, I believe they do bar deals.
