I'm kind of late with this entry because i was out of town but here we go. This was my first time at The Culture Room. The parking situation is terrible. The club itself is in a strip mall and parking just does not accommodate the huge crowd that place can hold. So if you do go there, get there early to find a spot. Otherwise you'll be parking elsewhere. And fair warning my friend has gotten a ticket twice at that place. So don't just park anywhere.

The actual club is fantastic. They have this outdoor patio area where the show is being projected onto the wall. So if you wanted to hang out and drink something and maybe get some fresh air you can do that without missing the show. But it looks even better on the inside. We walked in when the Voodoo Glow Skulls were playing. They played the one song I was hoping to hear "La Migra" which I always thought was called "Velveeta". But we pretty much came at the tail end of their set. 

Mustard plug was next. I was really pleasantly surprised. I'm not a big fan of theirs. But they had the best energy and the crowd that night was so great. Everyone was all smiles, it was fantastic. Mustard plug played all my fav songs of theirs. They were great. They ended up being my fav act of the night. I should also mention that The Culture room is set up with a camera on the ceiling somewhere and they periodically project the footage behind the band. This is so fun! Because you're in the crowd and all of a sudden BAM you're on the big screen! It makes for more crowd participation. It was really fun. Very cool feature I haven't seen at other clubs.

The Toasters...another band I'm like meh about. Don't get me wrong, they are THE TOASTERS but I'm just not that big on them. But they were great. Its a little lame that the singer is the only original member and everyone else is young but I didn't mind because the trombone player was 10 diff kinds of adorable. At the end of the set they brought the house down when.....i'm sorry i don't know his name...but this guy got on stage and started...umm whadda ya call it..well you'll see its on video. But my friend Daniel said that the circle pit turned into a regular pit for this song. He was putting his keys in his pocket when it became rotary again. Frankly I prefer the circle pit myself.

After the show we got to meet the singer from Mustard Plug (wtf is his name?) and Bucket from The Toasters. Unfortunately I missed Deals Gone Bad but I heard they were really good. You guys this isn't a review. I'm terrible about this stuff. This is just an account of my experience that night. And it was  a REALLY fun night! If all the people in that venue would join the mission, we could get this scene up and running in no time at all.
