small stages

Basement gigs, back rooms, and the flats where the night ended.

Small venues have the best light because nobody plans it. A singer gets one pink lamp and a smoke machine, and that is the show. I went to every gig a friend's band played for a year and stayed until the lights came up, then followed everyone home.
