From pitchfork:
>> Favorite Music Venue
Maybe the 9:30 Club in D.C. Such a clean, well kept, loud, welcoming venue. Very nice people, great stage and sound system, big without feeling impersonal, great backstage, just a really impressive venue. Bowery Ballroom definitely feels familiar at this point, so that place has got it's own charm. The Fillmore in San Francisco has a great vibe too.
