Underage live shows?

<< < (5/8) > >>

PoliceDiscoLites:
I've heard a lot of places will let you in an 18+ show if you have a parent with you. Y'all are probably like "Ew, parent, WTF," but that'd be a really viable option for me if it's true, because my dad is pretty fun and he likes a lot of my music. Plus I'm still scared to death to drive to Atlanta by myself, so that helps with that as well.

This is actually a big issue because I absolutely HAVE to go see Tilly and the Wall in about a week, but it's 18+. So do you think that's a good idea? Should I go with the dad thing? Should I try to just get in and hope they don't card me? Should I invest in a fake if I'm only two months away from 18? Are there any Atlantans here who have been to the Drunken Unicorn who can give me some insight? Help help help!

The Hammered:
I suppose I'll try looking up some venues around this area some time. And hope that the bands around here don't all suck.

Scandanavian War Machine:
age restrictions dont have to do with the band thats playing, as far as i know. its the venue, time of show, etc.

for instance: Gwar has come to seattle several times over the last few years and been all ages every time. meanwhile...every time The Reverend Horton Heat has come to seattle (as far back as i can remember anyway) it has been 21+
the exploited came to town a few years ago (all ages) and they had a 'best tits' contest on stage. they literally let any girl from the crowd get up on stage and show their tits. at an all ages show.

to be honest, i dont really understand the rules either.....but i know it rarely (if ever) has anything to do with the actual music being performed.

Kai:
I think it has to do mostly with whether or not alcohol is being served; venue's that have a bar would rather have people who can drink in their club and buy their 8 dollar beers than kids who can't.

brandie:
Age restrictions are totally at the club's discretion, and are usually standard on all nights, not based on which band is playing.  A lot of clubs don't want underage people in because a) they could be liable insurance-wise if something happens b) younger kids are generally more destructive and rowdy and c) it just increases the chances by 430% that there will be underage drinking and the club will lose its license.
