I'm a big techno fan but had not actually been to a live show since Kandiland back in 2009 at the Marquee Theater. I've now been to two shows at the Monarch and have had nothing but great experiences. I found out Infected Mushroom was playing there and had to go see them live. The tickets were incredibly reasonable at $25 a piece total, which was the same price for tickets to see The Crystal Method a couple months later. I had never been to a somewhat smaller venue quite like it before but I actually prefer it now. If you wanna see some top notch artists up close and personal in a comfortable but hard-hitting bass cave, then you've found your home.
