SERVING THE ON-LINE RPI COMMUNITY SINCE 1994 SEARCH ARCHIVES Current Issue: Volume 130, Number 1 July 14, 2009 Features Top ten music hotspots Posted 09-08-2004 at 4:52PM Adam Plesniak Senior Reporter Skip to Introduction 10) Saratoga Winners 9) The Larkin 8) Mother’s Wine Emporium 7) Valentine’s 6) Revolution Hall 5) Battle Of The Bands 4) Ground Zero 3) The Glenville Spot 2) UPAC Concerts 1) Northern Lights Conclusion 7) Valentine’s Located at 17 New Scotland Avenue in Albany, Valentine’s is an experience all its own. It’s dirty, it’s sketchy, the upstairs venue walls are covered in spray paint and the bathroom, well, just try and go before you get there. But the bands and crowds that Valentine’s attracts are awesome. Many rock, punk, and metal bands play here regularly, with some national acts passing through, and when you get a good crowd here, you will have a great time. The sound guys know what they’re doing, and make the shows great. Downstairs is a full bar and another stage for smaller acts, while the bands are rocking out above you. So grab your Equate hand sanitizer, and check it out. « Back Next » Posted 09-08-2004 at 4:52PM Copyright 2000-2006 The Polytechnic Comments, questions? E-mail the Webmaster.
