This is an appreciation post for the Oakland Metro Operahouse. The Oakland Metro is the best venue in Oakland(((California))). Located in the heart of Jack London Square. The OMO is the only legit All Ages space in town. Tom & Mia Dean work incredibly hard to continue to provide a home to so many different scenes and communities that are thriving in the Bay Area and beyond. From raging Pro-Wrestling events by Hoodslam, or massively successful shows with international bands like Bolt Thrower - The Metro Reigns Supreme. I have been fortunate to play at this venue a number of times throughout the last several years and I always look forward to playing and attending events here. The Metro is the only place that has pro-sound, ran by people in actual bands, not just random jerkoffs - Salvador Raya from Asunder/Laudanum is the best sound guy working in the Bay Area. If your band plays Heavy music of any sort and you want to play somewhere with good sound, The Metro is the only option you should consider when playing Oakland. I am incredibly thankful for the existence of this venue and for everyone that helps keep it afloat. Total support! ┼ Skip SF altogether unless you like playing bar shows. DIY Underground All Ages spots in SF are unfortunately a thing of the past...┼
