Bangunan dua lantai itu berdiri di jalan Benda Raya, Kemang, salah satu kawasan glamor di Jakarta. Dari luar ia terlihat cukup mewah. Di malam hari, cahaya lampu neon berwarna agak kuning berpendar ramah, membuat warna cat tembok lantai dasar yang dijadikan distro itu tampak mahal. Ketika kita masuk melalui pintu hidroliknya, hawa sejuk yang mengalir dari pendingin-ruangan memberi perasaan nyaman. Di sana kita bisa menjumpai begitu banyak barang yang akan membuat seorang pecinta musik rock menelan air liurnya sendiri berkali-kali jika melihatnya. Vinyl-vinyl berdiri saling tertumpuk di salah satu rak yang menghadap ke pintu masuk. Ada Out of Step-nya Minor Threat, Everything Went Black-nya Black Flag, The Crew-nya 7Seconds, Venom, Rush, serta Duran Duran; dan itu baru beberapa.

This is here mostly for self-reference, but I suppose it's also good for some random dude's opinion.

Out of 5 stars. Factors in band's performance and mostly the amount of fun I had. I've omitted bands I just don't care about (mostly opening bands).
1 star= Not seeing again
2 stars= good, will only see if it's very convenient and cheap
3 stars= very good, most likely will see again, even at the expense of convenience
4 stars= Superb. Very, very likely to be at the next nearby show.
4.5-5 stars= Incredible. If they're in the area, I'm not missing it.
