What Makes You Go to Live Shows?

Saturday, January 9th, 2010 by madmags

We’d love to hear from you on the subject. And we’re making it easy for ya. Our pal, Sean Pete of It’s Not Art has set up a survey to take a look at what motivates, encourages, drives and/or deters music fans to attend live music events.

All answers are confidential. We absolutely will not use your info for any other reason but to help us discover what gets a music lover out of the house and into a club, festival, concert or other venue.

Please take the Live Music Survey and share your thoughts on what makes a show worth attending.

Live Concerts. Better than staying at home.

Return of the Accordion Babes

Accordionist, RenĂ©e de la Prade with Culann’s Hounds just asked us to join them on Friday, January 15th at the Sleeping Lady in Fairfax. We’ll be a Mad Maggie’s “Lite” for this show. GDub (guitars), Johny Blood (tuba), Rhian (whistles & clarinet), Miguel Ashby (bass) and yours madly on squeeze.

Come early and eat — the Sleeping Lady has great food. Stay late for the show which will run from 9:30 to 1. This is a rollicking, foot stomping double bill, sure to shake off any post-holiday dreariness! Definitely worth pulling yourself off the couch and venturing into the night air ;-)
