So obviously things are not the same on Wednesday nights. Here's a quick summary of what's happened so far: On December 28th, the Airliner was paid a visit by the L.A. Fire Marshall. As it turned out, the main stage was never properly zoned for occupancy, so it was immediately shut down. In the same stroke, the Fire Marshall limited the capacity of the venue to 140 people maximum.

Since then, we've been operating upstairs-only, hoping and praying for a return of normalcy. For the record, the scaling back of the booking schedule was a conscious decision. After doing high-profile shows like Daedelus (Jan. 16th) and the Violence Recordings night (Jan. 9th) with the limited capacity -- where we had to turn away hundreds of people -- we just felt bad for our folks waiting in line for nothing. It was after the Daedelus night, in particular, where we told ourselves: "OK, let's scale back the bookings so that everyone who wants to get it can get in."

Also know that we were initially told that the situation would be resolved in a few weeks. At this point, we're going on two-and-a-half months, and honestly, things aren't looking to change any time soon.

We will do our best to keep you informed about what's next for Low End Theory. The reason we haven't switched venues is because we love the Airliner and it's staff, and feel that Low End Theory's success in Los Angeles is inextricably linked to the Airliner. So please, bear with us, and know that we're not disappearing.

Now, after a recent conference call with all of the residents, we've decided to step up the booking schedule, and book big shows regardless of the capacity. Take a look at our April schedule and you'll see that we are not playing around: from the GLK release party to The Grouch to the next Unreleased Beat Invitational, we're getting back to our normal steez. Plus, there's some killer stuff coming in May and June that is so absurdly amazing that we can't speak on it just yet.

In the meantime, please respond to this blog with your suggestions. We'd love to hear you think, and what you'd do if you were in our shoes.


Sincerely,
Low End Theory
(Daddy Kev, Nobody, Gaslamp Killer, D-Styles and Nocando)
