First Avenue
Best club in the country

First ave was voted the best club in the country in a poll of 40 touring bands. Read the whole story in the strib.

If you’re an old fart like me, you know that no venue has done more for punk rock in the this state than First Avenue. Back in the 80’s and 90’s, first ave would host a regular Sunday night all-ages show in the Entry, mostly featuring punk bands. Even long after I was of age, I spent many a Sunday in that shit hole seeing some amazing punk rock shows. Locals and out of towners. It was almost always a good time. Congrats First Ave. This was long overdue!
