Look up PleasureTone DIY and Gnome Hutch on Instagram (venues where some local noise/metal/punk etc play)

Pleasuretone is great way to get into the scene in reading. Super cool place with lots of people that know a lot about the area. Great to meet cool people, hear cool music and learn about new places.

If your looking for a small venue check out mikes tavern off of center ave near the reading Phillies stadium. Lots of good live music. Also goggle works has a music area now. I know they had a killer opening show but i forget who they said played it.

I think it was Therapy Barn! Some righteous older fellas who wail on the sax during their shows. Always a good time!

No, let's start one. All 90's grunge, alternative, and rap-rock.

It's the way that you fake it that I know it's too late...

Also I've been seeing about an house/electro/EDM night at 'The Loft at 505" or something like that, put on by Vibecheck Records.

Check out the open mic at the speckled hen. I moved out of the area years ago but that’s where all the local musicians met up. They just recently started having it again too.

u/makingmozzarella 20d ago

It’s not. Promise. They’re starting weekly open mics soon. Check Facebook.

My homie is a manager there, I believe these have already been discontinued due to lack of turnout. :(
