Philadelphia has 2 series running that I think would be
very open to some looping gigs. I hesitate to list them because I am not
certain, but others on the list may be better able to say.
1. http://www.scifiphilly.com/march09.html
Small space with bar, above Ethiopian restaurant/bar, in W. Philadelphia.
Sunday evening series focused on jazz. Andreas Willers’ group Grid Mesh
played there last weekend (great gig, BTW). Don’t know how open to
rock or ambient type stuff they would be. The audience is great, probably
walk-by traffic is zero. It is small.
2. http://www.bowerbird.org/newsite/
Not a venue, a series. Somewhat of a focus on lower-case improv, but they do
contemporary classical and have featured some electronic stuff too. Shows are
at a variety of venues, often at the Rotunda near Penn’s campus in W.
Philadelphia.

Thanks Matt... any venues you
DO know, I hope you will add too... I mean, if you got a gig there, then they
are probably pretty open to new cool stuff I think... at least under my
"Dangerous" categorization...
To everyone else.... COME ON!!! Im surprised by the lack of interest to add to
my list here!!! I think I want to make a suggestion, that EVERYONE should try
to add at least one venue to my list...
I have also included a link to the current status of the list, Hopefully
viewing the results will make it more interesting.
Im thinking about all the threads over the years that concern places to play.
Nowadays, bands are touring less, and I think there are alot more venues open
to accepting left field works... It OUR time now... Lets get on the road, and
LOOP!!!

Thanks Mark,
I put in my own venue, but I'm not going to have a real good sense at
the venues I'm touring to until I play there.
