More on Bedrock
Checked out a friend's band at Bedrock Billiards (401 W. Baltimore St.) this past weekend, and I have to say, I'm impressed with the new setup.
Earlier this month, the Bedrock folks scrapped a couple pool tables and built a stage along the far wall.
It was a good decision.
Though the vocal were a little low in the mix, the high ceiling makes for pretty decent acoustics.
But the next band that went on was way too loud, so we left.
There's a blurry line between a bar with live music, where people come to have a beer, talk, and maybe dance and a live music club, where people come just to see a band and give that band their undivided attention.
I hope Bedrock's management keeps it a bar with live music rather than a live music club.
