Alvin Risk

Getting to the venue and getting inside was pain-free. Our tickets were checked, our bags searched, and our bodies patted down in a matter of minutes - which was great because the temperature outside was less than accommodating. Our group decided to do the VIP room and bring our own sealed bottles for $10 each. This worked our perfectly and the staff at Sound Garden were patient and friendly as our large group walked in and got settled. They waiting for our friends while situating the rest of us with ice and a carafe of juice for our liquor. We didn't need to utilize the coat check and were able to leave our things at the table. Once the music started, we were a little slow to dance. The first of the opening bands were a little weak. After about an hour though, the dance floor was full, the lights were on, and the atmosphere was alive. By the time Schoolboy and Popeska were on the stage, almost everyone had hit the dance floor. Alvin Risk was told to leave the stage after playing past closing hours but he still rolled out with two more songs and the energy was great. After the show, it was easy to find a cab and we got home in a matter of a couple minutes. Sound Garden definitely delivered, I'd love to relive this night, and I'd recommend it to anyone.
