PalacePrincess Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 hey everybody, in your opinion, which venue would you enjoy being at more for a show? the el macambo or reverb? (in toronto) if you know of any pertinent pluses or minuses for either, it would be really helpful (people in the US who have never been to either are trying to decide which one to book). thanks!

jon. Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 Hey P.P. My band Electric Meat just played the Reverb - it is a big room, so if you're not going to draw that well it may seem kinda' empty. The Reverb s also a bit gothish....easy jto ignore but a bit weird. The Elmo is apparently a great room since they re-opened, I haven't played there for a few years but it has the "legendary" status aswell. Either would be ok...The Reverb probably calls for 3 bands. cheers jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poutine Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 Both are nice places for sure. I would say if you were more funky hip hop type of thing i would go to the reverb but a rocknroll feel i would go to the el macambo ! booya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaPink Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 Hey Palace Princess! The Reverb use to be The Big Bop... I can't remember at all what it looks like on the inside (much of those days are blurry) but I swear we've been to a couple parties there way back when. Most everyone I've talked to say the same thing, "It's HUGE!" The El Macambo on the other hand sounds perfect... more of a jam hall which is the style of place you're looking for. You can check out their site: http://www.elmocambo.ca/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberHippie Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 The new Elmo is a beautiful room, probably my fav. in the city. I can't believe how much it's changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Musicface Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 Yup, the new El Mo set-up kicks ass, although I think the Reverb is still bigger. The Reverb stage is also VERY wide, so if you had like a big band with horns or something it might be better. Plus the current booker Brendan is a very nice guy, you can find his info at: http://www.thebigbop.com/bop_contact.html Personally I've never dealt with the new El Mo, but I'd echo others in saying that it's overall a nicer venue. Peace, Mr. M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
