Hmm. Every time I've been there for a show with decent bands, there have
been a shitload of people there. Of course, a couple of those were Ms. Films benefits, which meant there was someone other than the Ooh La staff doing promotional work.

I suppose, since we're just talking "rumors," we probably don't have any solid info as to why they might not want to keep having shows. Seems to me that if you've got the space and the stage and the PA, you're not risking much to open up & have some bands come & play, especially if one or two shows a week are drawing upwards of 100 people.

Of course, maybe some of the shows that I *haven't* gone to haven't done as well. Perhaps they should look into booking more bands that draw well?

Or maybe there's some wholly different factor at work here & maybe someone who knows something concrete will share.

I was there this weekend and there was a fair sized crowd. They said
that was somewhat unusual and would be nice if it happened more
often. Tehy sold out of PBR!!!! Yay for us! It was a great place to
hang out. Durham really needs a club. It was much nicer on the
inside than most clubs, I have to say, being as how it has to be
presentable during the day, so it was very pleasant. Go see a show!
It's cheaper than a movie and more fun!!! You can dance and flirt!!!
Whee!!! Rachel

Save Ooh La Latte Nightlife!

Hey Rocker Grrrls and Boys,

We have some good news and some bad news: The good news is, you can
hear the fantabulous sounds of Viva la Venus and Little Miss Messy
together at the Triangle's coolest venue, Ooh La Latte on Friday,
October 22. The bad news is, there are rumors that Ooh La Latte may
discontune their support of local bands and evening shows.

Now, more than ever, it is important for you to show your support for
local bands at this fantastic venue! Ooh La Latte serves coffee,
tea, beer, desserts and sandwiches in a funky, spacious atmosphere
with a big stage and great sound. Ooh La Latte has given Durham
nightlife a much-needed shot in the arm, and we MUST SHOW OUR SUPPORT
for it to continue!

Little Miss Messy will start off the evening with their own brand of
post-punk power pop, headed up by the divine vocals of Ms. Carlotta
Valdez. Bringing it home will be Viva la Venus, as they serve it up
with original rock morsels steeped in the hard rock sounds of the
70's, mixed with fresh infusions of 80's and 90's-style alternative
pop, indie-rock, blues, and punk.

You don't want to miss this show -- it is gonna be HOT! The show will
begins at 9:00 PM on Friday October 22 and the venue is open to all
ages.

Ooh La Latte is located at 1116 Broad St. in Durham (near the corner
of Broad St. & Club Blvd.). For more information, check out their
website at http://oohlalatte.com or call 919-286-0650.
