Secret Headquarters was really hard to find. There are no signs, and the entrance is behind the building. We got there around 8:30 (doors opened at 8) an there was a band doing a sound check. No one else was really there. The venue was basically a 20x20 ft. room with no stage. We asked someone when LoveLikeFire was going to play, and we were told that the opening band would start around 9:00 and LLF would play at 10:00. So we hung around downtown Denton for an hour and then went back. No one was playing, and as best as we could tell, there were maybe 6 other people (besides the bands) there to hear the show. Pretty weird. We asked what was happening, and were told that since there were only 2 bands, they decided to start 10, and that LLF would play around 11. Well, at this point we were tired of waiting around and left.
It's kinda sad that the whole thing was so loosely organized and that LLF didn't have a bigger turnout. I really wanted to stay, but I was just tired of waiting. Besides, the whole vibe was just really odd. Pretty disappointing night, I have to say, since I was really looking forward to it. I'm frankly shocked that a band that sounds as good as LLF would end up in a place like Secret Headquarters.
LLF: Please do come back to DWF, but try to get booked in Deep Ellum/Lower Greenville area. You'll get a much better crowd. And you deserve it!
