    Go to shows on Friday or Sunday. In fact, the very first concert ad I see on that site is for Static-X, playing on a Friday.

    It's really a moot point though. I doubt any classical musician is ever going to perform at a place like that.

    I'm talking about places such as Piere's, which hold concerts yet are legally bars. Such smaller venues commonly host smaller acts that can't draw enough of a crowd to fill a local stadium or a local theater.

    If you attend the concerts

    A lot of bands play in bars and in other venues that are legally classified as bars, shutting out their fans under age 21. By the time a fan is old enough to attend a concert, the band will likely have broken up.

    I can't really tell, but if what you've linked to is a large nightclub with some bands, opening at 10pm with the bands on at midnight, that'd usually be 18+ here. The emphasis on the night would be drinking and dancing, with the bands a bit secondary.

    If the night is mostly bands, with a DJ just between sets, and opens at 7pm with the bands on at 8pm, that'd be 14+ (or younger, if you have a parent with you. I've seen 5 year olds sitting on dad's shoulders...)

    For a gig in a pub, you'd need to be 16 (or accompanied) for the bar room, but other rooms might not have a limit, so it depends where the stage is (I doubt anyone would care if a 14/15 year old wanted to see the band).

  6. Take the case of Fort Wayne, Indiana by tepples · · Score: 1 · on RIAA Foiled By "Innocent Infringement" Defense

    I never had a problem seeing a bad before 18. Only reason I can think of you not getting in would be if the venue is a bar

    Take the case of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Any major act that doesn't play at the arena (all ages) plays at the city's biggest bar (21+ only).

    and even then, some places will let you in, but give you a braclet to signify your age

    Bars in Fort Wayne do not give bracelets; they just remove minors from the building.

    If you want to support an artist or band, go see their live shows

    So what if your favorite band is playing at an establishment that the state has deemed a bar and you're not old enough to go into a bar?

    I think I might have to go to one of their shows.

    The only live musical acts that make into all-ages venues anywhere around where I live are teeny-bopper acts. The rest show up only in bars, which by the law of the State of Indiana are not permitted to admit minors. Even major national acts show up in The Big Bar instead of the indoor stadium. Therefore, the only live musical acts available to minors are teeny-bopper acts.

    Polaris Amphitheater, July 2000
    • 2001
      - February 2001 - Nick Feldman was an A&R manager for Warner Music UK Limited (WEA Records in London), promoting fine new bands such as Arturo, The Screaming Orphans, The Webb Brothers, and ARKARNA. However, in February 2001 WEA A&R manager Nick Feldman left the company ahead of an expected reshuffle, prompted by the pending Warner/London Records merger. By March 2001, WEA Records and London Records finally merged, resulting in departures from both companies.
      - Summer 2001 - Wang Chung once again plans on touring across the United States this summer (check the 'main' page for more details)! Wang Chung will have the same personnel this year. However, this season's tour will be smaller, as they are only going to play selected dates. It seems that Jack Hues is producing a couple of things at the moment, and this way of working enables him to continue with work in the UK, rather than disappearing for 3 months at a time.
      - May 03, 2001 - Nashville, TN - The Playroom at 12th & Porter
      - May 04, 2001 - Lake Charles, LA - Contraband Days at the Lake Charles Civic Center
      - May 05, 2001 - Chicago, IL - Park West
      - June 21, 2001 - Oshkosh, WI - WaterFest at Riverside Park
      - June 23, 2001 - Cincinnati, OH - P & G Pavilion Park
    TODAY, all four original members are still working hard within the music industry:
    • Jack Hues is still busy writing music and producing on his own, being responsible for such projects as the 1990 film soundtrack to William Friedkin's "The Guardian", among others. Recently, Jack has just co-produced and co-written the new ARKARNA album for Warners. He is looking for very musical projects which need a big writing/arranging input.
    • Nick Feldman is now working for Sony Music with David Massey, who was Wang Chung's manager back in the 1980's! Nick and Jack are also founding investors in Graeme Pleeth's great project called Studio EncycloMedia, an on-line directory of worldwide professional recording studios and the focal point for the professional recording industry.
    • Darren Costin (aka "Darwin") is also busy as an engineer, producing and editing various projects for the likes of U2, Bjork and Pavarotti. Darren is reportedly now involved with a new band named "LOBE", with an album in the works.
    • David Burnand (aka "Hogg" Robinson) is the Head of Music Technology, Head of the Centre for Screen Music Studies, and a Principal Lecturer at the Royal College of Music. He composes electroacoustic and film scores, including music and sound design for: Hoi Polloi (BBC, 1990), Acumen (C4, 1991), Smart Alek (BFI, 1993), Là Bas (BFI, 1994), Gallivant (BFI/C4, 1996). The Gallivant soundtrack is available on CD (TS CD001).
