Last night I went out to have a couple of Utica Clubs, and I got to talking to a couple of the bar owners who's places are the usual hot spots for a good Saranac Thursday after party. Even though it becomes some what of a hassle for them to manage the huge crowds, they seem to be excited about the up and coming spike in business.
I spoke with Zee from The Electric Company and he alerted me to all the great bands he has lined up for his Saranac Thursday After parties as well as the some of the bands he as selected to play after the Saranac Summer Concert Series. Lets just say this people... I was stoked! He didn't permit me to release his June schedule, because there were a few loose ends he needed to tie up but he did mention for the first Saranac Thusday he will have 2 bands playing (The Reissues & Brand New Joe) both bands are up and coming on the rock scene and will be worth the cover to see them play live on Varick Street.
There is also a new place planning to open up on Varick Street. I also talked to the owners of this bar or English Style Pub called Nail Creek Pub and Brewery. Christian Talgo and Tracy Smith told me they have been scrambling to get ready for the first Saranac Thursday, and reminded me that there is a lot of things to consider or get ready before they open their doors. Their intention is to be open for the first one though and hope everyone will like the new addition to Varick Street. I had a chance to pop my head in to the unfinished bar, and lets just say WOW! The have come a long way since they purchased the building. It's looking real good, and I'm excited to have a couple of their home made beers when its ready.
I haven't made it much further down the street, but did bump into a kid doing promotions for HolyRock this year, and he says they have their outdoor work of art set up for big parties to. Personally I haven't found the place to be to that cool of a bar yet, but it might be that the owner isn't from Utica and he's bringing in a bad New York City Vibe to the place. I went there a few time when they opened last year, bartenders were dickheads and other that the outdoor lounging areas nothing was to impressive. If he's smart he will try to follow after some of the better working models on Varick Street to make sure not to many other natives start to think like I do.
That is about it, I promise to keep you updated, so please check back again, I plan on posting the Saranac Thusday Line-Up as soon as its released, and even the Electric Company's line up for all of you live music lovers soon.
