Adventure Club Tampa reviews
Adventure Club-sweet; line control-bad
Adenture Club came and gave a scintillating performance. But, the openers were just okay, though. DBVVA was especially atrocious; they were admittedly drunk and tried to pump up the crowd with repeated "f*** yeah, Dallas". And when they accidentally cut off their music they blamed HoB, but it was obviously the DJ's error.
Also, the security line was unfortunately long. I understand trying to eliminate people who bring in pills, but organization here was lacking. The lines were chaotic and 30yr old nerds who've never seen drugs were given as much crap at security as the 19yr old raver who's dilated eyes, neon pink leg warmers and manic cadence betray her pharmacologically induced state.
Weak
I must start off by saying that I expected a LOT from Adventure Club. I have been listening to their music for 2 years now; infact, their music was what launched me into my love of dubstep, as a genre.
With this said, I was very disappointed with their performance. Aside from the songs that I knew would be good - Youth, Crave You, Do I see Color - the rest of what they played sounded like typical electronic music that would be played at a crappy 18 and over club. Their lights were weak, and at one point, they went out completely. The DJs lacked enthusiasm - if you are into jumping up and down and "fist pumping" then maybe they are for you. But I was unimpressed. I have seen a LOT of big names this year - Rusko, Borgore, Bassnectar, Feed Me, Zeds Dead, Skrillex, Nero, Pretty Lights, School Boy - and Adventure Club is barely fit to open for any of these groups. I was very disappointed, and believe me, I did not go into the show with anything but high expectations.
Adventure Club did not play much of their own music, and what's worse is that the music they played was OLD and CLICHE - nobody pays $50 to see a headliner play "One More Time" by Daft Punk. It felt like I was at a highschool dance more than at a show. Sorry Adventure Club, but you guys were the worst headliners i have seen this year. Stick to producing music and putting it on youtube, your stage show is weak.
Big Night Live sucks
Adventure club was fine but the venue Big Night Live is lame. Horrible floor layout. Only one bathroom and almost none of the locks on the doors work. There’s huge pillars along the sides of the small dance floor so you can’t see shit from the sides at all. VIP takes up most the space and the small dance floor areas get way too overcrowded. It’s so hard getting in and out because you can only come from one direction, and if you’re overheating or packed in it can feel claustrophobic because it’s really hard to get out of the crowd and even if you do, you can’t see anything from the side. Very lame. They should open up the other side as well.
