The venue was crap

I stopped going there because the venue sucked balls. Terrible location, crappy stage, no storage area, horrible load in/out, crappy lights, and a sound system that was significantly past it's time. That was the worst part, it ALWAYS sounded bad. I'm not blaming the audio engineer, it was the system, the room, and the floor space.
If anyone is going to open a new venue, it needs to be just that, NEW. A building designed to be a live music venue will draw better bands a pull a better crowd. 9:30 isn't struggling, it has it's deficiencies due to space but it sounds good and is built out to be a legitimate venue.
When Jaxx became Empire they just put a new coat of black paint on a failed business model.
