The drinks at the Palladium are cheaper than at Mark's. ($4 for a bud light is ridiculous, in my opinion.) The Palladium also does more in the way of promoting their shows.

I don't understand why the Palladium isn't booking any of these shows. I also don't understand why the Palladium doesn't book local openers like they used to. At least if a band payed to play at the Palladium, they would be playing to a much larger audience than they would at Mark's.


Actually, drinks at the Palladium have gone up drastically. You're looking at $7 for a mixed drink and upwards of $5 for beers. That's the only thing I like better about Mark's. Still doesn't make up for the crap, though.

Also, bands never payed to play the Palladium. I've played there over 10 times and never once had to pay. However, like you said, if you DID have to pay to play there, it WOULD be a hell of a lot more worth it.

As for why hey aren't booking the shows: The going rumors suggest Bernie is paying national acts a LOT more than the Palladium is willing to, and therefore, this is why he books 6 trillion local "pay to play" acts per show; to make up the cost.

To be perfectly honest, IMO that type of system can only hold up for so long before it comes drastically crashing down. I just hope that when it does, The Palladium isn't so far removed from the scene that it's impossible for them to rebound. As it is right now, outside of 2 or 3 shows not including the Metalfest, it seems everything listed on The Palladium's site is emo shows.
