Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night

The Brewery on 08-01-11. Thanks for the memories. Growing up in Raleigh The Brewery was the place to go for live music. Back in the 80′s it was called P.C. Good Times.

Sundays were all ages shows with the likes of COC, No Labels and Buckwheats Army. So many great bands and shows came through The Brewery, Jane’s Addiction, Soul Asylum, Fishbone, Bad Brains, Fetchin Bones, Flaming Lips, Black Flag, Jeff Buckley, Cowboy Junkies just to name a few. Last show I saw was Semisonic back in 1998. When you grow up and have kids it’s hard to get out.

The Brewery died in 2004. The club that was there using the name since then was garbage. There has barely been a band worth seeing there in years. Mostly tight pants, stupid hair cuts, deep V-neck shirts and shitty “screamo” music. Whoever was in charge of their booking should be ashamed of themselves.

Don’t forget about Stuck Mojo, seemed like they played there about once a month in the early ’00s! Best concert memory there was watching a crowd surfer get bounced into the drop ceiling and the ensuing chaos…
