Washington, DC
Submitted by Hargrave Highbrow
The auditorium is composed of marble with a spare, even extreme, design. While its inspiration is classical, the architects abstracted the design from the cube. The building stands as a geometric expression and contribution to period architecture. For many years it hosted GW's commencement exercises, and in the days before the Kennedy Center, it was the major focus of Washington. D.C. theater life.
Asheville, NC

Best place to catch your favorite jamband: After previous lives as a '50s-era skating rink, an auto-parts warehouse, and various R&B clubs, this venue has asserted itself on national tour itineraries, with artists from Bob Dylan to They Might Be Giants entertaining punters beneath the expansive, barrel-vaulted ceiling.
Nashville

Best place to conveniently purchase some awesome music before the show: Located beneath Grimey's, one of the nation's finest record stores, The Basement proudly lives up to its tagline, "a cellar full of noise." Plus, the venue proudly serves up a rotating tap of the Nashville craft brew Yazoo.

Best place to stretch your mind before catching a show: A self-proclaimed "alternative arts venue," Space has hosted events as diverse as last fall's Human Rights Watch Traveling film Festival and the recent Air Guitar Nation film screening and competition. And that's in addition to its musical offerings, which range from indie pop to old-time Americana to DJ-spun dance sets.

The quality of the booking is so good that it's almost impossible not to head down to the Bowery three times a week. Inch for inch, the most comfortable venue in the city, it's never bone-crushingly cramped (even when sold-out), plus it has great sightlines and superb sound.
West Hollywood
Submitted by Liam Craven
Best place to witness rock history in the making: On the edge of West Hollywood, The Troubadour (est. 1957) was the center of John Lennon and Harry Nilsson's booze-soaked "Lost Weekend" in the '70s and has long been known as a proving ground for rising acts, from The Byrds to Franz Ferdinand.

St. Andrew's Hall and The Shelter: this three-story club is the patron saint of trendy concerts and alternative shows, with a ballroom maxing out at 1,000 fans. Since 1980, historic St. Andrews Hall in downtown Detroit has brought trend-setting music to Detroit audiences. During the early 1980s, everyone from British New Wave groups like New Order to the then-college radio bands like R.E.M. played St. Andrews Hall.

Cleveland
Submitted by Otto McGovern
The Agora was voted the number one rock club in the country by Billboard Magazine, and was given the same distinction by author and Rolling Stone editor Dave Marsh in his best seller Book of Lists . The Agora has also received countless awards within the City of Cleveland honoring it as "the best place in the city to see a live show" and "best rock club". But, the Agora is more than a rock club; it is a significant part of music history that will continue the tradition for many years to come.

If you listen to Loveline on the flagship station KROQ 106.7, no doubt you know about RokBar. This hip venue -- co-owned by Jane's Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro and Mötley Crüe's Tommy Lee -- is the ultimate place to catch a libation while waiting to see the beautiful people. It's just too bad you probably won't see Carmen Electra or Pam Anderson anymore!

Hey, if you listen to Loveline on New York's WFNY-FM 92.3 Free-FM or WSJE-FM 102.7 The Ace in Petersburg, New Jersey, there's a new dive bar/club opening up in your 'hood.
Pete Wentz has teamed up with members of The Academy Is..., Gym Class Heroes and Cobra Starship to launch Angels & Kings in Manhattan's Alphabet City neighborhood.
While just the mere presence of the Fall Out Boy star is sure to draw lots of doe-eyed young girls, the recurring Starlette Sundays night every weekend is also going to reel 'em in. "We're not trying to make a pile of cash and have this place that's written up everywhere," Wentz recently told New York magazine. "It's just a cool idea."
So what else does the joint offer? Well, unisex bathrooms and exalted D.J. booths, for starters. "Dudes can use the chicks' bathroom and vice versa, so that girls don't have to wait in line," Wentz revealed. "And we're raising the D.J. booth because the D.J. should be like God. He shouldn't have to deal with anyone trying to talk to him."
But it's actually the simple pleasures that the tattooed punk boy-toy is looking forward to most at Angels & Kings. "I'm gonna watch all my friends get wasted and puke everywhere," he says. "And since I was a little dude, I've always had a dream of sliding somebody down the bar. You know what I'm talking about? Like they did in cowboy movies? I think I might make that a reality." If you're the lucky guy (or gal) who gets slid, write in and let us know!
