I Just Peed in the Best Place in the Fucking World

...according to Ian Catskilkin of Art Brut.
Art Brut played their last Atlanta show at the place-saddled-with-a-corporate-brand-name in Midtown that used to simply be known as the Roxy. However, according to him, the place is a "shit heap!"

"I heard that they were going to tear the place down, and I thought 'Well hell! It'd be fine with me!" He went on to speak of the club's crappy sound, and how they were stuck playing a gig at the same time that Mika Miko and the Gossip played in another club across town. "And even crazier, we had to go up against the Raconteurs."

He had nothing but praise for MJQ, the place referred to positively in the headline of this story. "Seriously," he went on, "This place is the fucking best. Last time we played here, it was packed, and everybody rocked out." He broke it down for us even more by revealing what he thought was the most important part of a rock club: "that it's full of people who dance!" MJQ, he explained, had a great crowd "that loved [our show] and danced the whole time." Ian went on to complement the late night scene and Atlanta as a whole. "After our show, we went into that room [the adjoining MJQ] and partied all night! We even got invited back to an after-party...met a ton of people...it was great."

Compared to other cities, Ian even seemed to prefer Atlanta...which surprised even me! "Man, we've played some places in New York and big cities like that where people [in the audience] just sit there. That fucking sucks. You got a good thing going here, mate."
