IATTBYB Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Club Soda is closing, may re-open in new location. The place definitely lost some of the magic after Wayne Dearing sold the place. Most of you probably won't care about this, but I know there are a few that may have some interest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Yeah, I saw that story. If they do re-open it, I hope it's downtown somewhere in an appropriately seedy building. Club Soda could never exist in newly constructed digs. I saw a lot of great shows there over the years. Even played there once. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Derek Phillips Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I've played Soda many, many times. While it's sad to see if close, it hasn't been the same for years. In the early 90s, it was ahappening place and perfectly located between Detroit and Chicago so a lot of touring bands stopped there. Those were good times... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I love visiting Kalamazoo for shows, but only once in the last few years was I ever enticed to go see a band at Club Soda, and that was for New Pornographers/Destroyer. The place was so incredibly packed, hot, and smoky, and I really don't like places like that to be honest. I much prefer the little Kraftbrau Brewery down the street. Dang, I love that place. But maybe it's because they offer my kind of indie bands and no smoking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
