Adele n.'s Profile

The guys who work here work on commission. Remember that, kids. They will ALWAYS try to upsell you to something you will never need for your purposes. Unfortunately, most of the employees here are not knowledgeable about what they're selling, so you can't count on even getting guidance. Here's my advice. Educate yourself on the internet about what your options are and how much they should cost. Go here to try stuff out in person. Ignore the sales routine. Then go home and buy it on musicians' friend. Only really great thing about this store? The free parking.

Ronny's is a true dive -- a nondescript brick garage converted into a music venue. Incense is burning in the front bar room (god knows what kind of odor they are trying to cover up!) But there's a pool table, and some cheap beer deals -- $2 Stroh's cans the night I was there.  The music room is fun. It's big and open, the stage is made of plywood, and there's plenty of room for your friends to boogie, mosh, or act the fool while your band plays. It's got that basement show vibe, but with a better PA system. The sound girl was really cool. Overall, a solid place to play a sloppy, beer-soaked show.

I had a lot of fun playing here. Silvie is funny, sweet and awesome -- she gave us shots and cheetos, showed us her new computer, and told stories. Love her!  The stage is small, but adequate for a four-member band. The bands are eclectic. The main room has comfy seating -- maybe too comfy, 'cause the kids don't get up and dance too much.

Fun, fun bar.
