Great Underground
Posted by JHooligan on 02/23/2003
Acme Underground is a rockin' place to hang out and watch cool bands. It has a very intimate feel and smoky resonance.

Jade Monkey perfoming!

I will be checking this place out on Feb. 3, 2003, to support a friend that will be performing there. I urge anyone reading this to go check them out. I may be biased but, the band is on the way up! Be the first to know. Maverick10462

UGH
Posted by dwho2 on 12/13/2002
This place is terrible. If you are a band, they will probably tell you you are going on an hour early so your friends will have to drink more, and they would rather die than pay you. I've had them weasel out several times and be verbally abusive to me and my band mates. No good bands EVER play there because no band would ever play there more than twice, they treat everyone like crap and like they are doing you a favor by letting you play there. They don't treat you like you are going to come back again and try to establish a relationship, they treat you like they are going to screw you out of your money, sell some booze, and never see you again. That's why the bands there suck so often and the crowd they attract is a bunch of idiots.

Someone must be reading this because i saw a label showcase there tonight for CMJ and the sound was excellent, and it looked much better too.

I'd rather poke my eyes out

I agree with the earlier review, sometimes you just get stuck going to Acme underground to see your friend's band. Luckily, you can eat and get pretty loaded upstairs at the restaurant to numb the pain brought on by the terrible sound, worse vibe and boring bartenders.

BAND GET SIGNED OUT OF THERE
Posted by cookie on 05/22/2002
Actually, my band does play there, and a couple of my friends bands have been signed out of there. It doesn't take a huge crowd to fill the room, and the booking agent there is the only one in NYC who would give me the time of day. As far as furthering a bands career I think this venue is a must. Not to mention it's the last of it's kind in New York City.

only if you've gotta...
Posted by DylanSiegler on 05/16/2002
Sometimes, you just gotta go to Acme Underground. Mostly, that's because your best friend's band is playing there, or if you're really unlucky, because your OWN band is playing there. The sound is subpar and the bands are forced to load in their gear in the hallway, but at least the drinks are relatively cheap. Buy some, you'll need 'em.
