The flagship location of The Basement has hosted acts like Trampled by Turtles, Michael Kiwanukato and Metallica. Today, they focus more on local talent and lesser known acts like Trash Panda, Rickshaw Billie's Burger Patrol or The Wandering Hearts, but the up-close-and-personal atmosphere remains the same. The intimacy bands achieve in the compact underground space is still unparalleled. Tip: Check out the free New Faces Night every Tuesday to see a lineup of 5-10 musicians that just might be the next big thing.
