BRASS MUG (Tampa)

[Admin]

Ah, the Mug! No Doubt played there. Green Day did, too. While still classic, it's no longer the vast breeding ground for bands it used to be. Sure, the establishment has grown bigger and better, but the variety has dwindled over the years. Now, it's mostly metal and hardcore, with some other styles thrown in. So though it may have undergone through improvements, you still wouldn't want to take a first date or your mom to the Mug – unless they can rock hard.
1441 E Fletcher Ave. Suite 101, Tampa 33612.

I hadn't been to The Mug in years until our first show there on 7/2 - as soon as I walked in I was shocked! They've redone the bathrooms and made a huge stage! The sound was excellent and it had a great atmosphere! Although it's typically known for metal and hardcore music, we're a rock band and played with an acoustic folk duo, so there is some variety. Our friends, Sunshine and Bullets, recently played a show there as well, so be on the lookout for more radio-friendly rock shows at The Brass Mug in the coming months...
