and Saturday nights being dance nights, usually music is either
industrial/goth or techno (they tend towards Friday nights being
techno with Thursday and Saturday being industrial/goth).  Sunday

Live Bands: every night
Brief description: live music every night, varies every night, great
alternative bands, lots of space and a good stage yet small enough
to still be a club.  There are pool rooms and lounge areas off the
main room if your ears need a rest.

band is due to go on and how many bands are playing.  Cover varies-

From: mikef@som.yale.edu (Michael Fanara)

Name:	Toads
Location: York St. New Haven, CT
Type of Place: Bar
Live Bands: Yes
Brief Description: This place is well know for its live music. The famous bands
                   that have played here are too numerous to mention, but just
                   a few: Rolling Stones, U2, Dylan, Black Crowes, David Bowie,
                   SRV, Satriani, Bon Jovi, etc, etc. You get the picture. Its
                   has three bars, one in the back room with a pool table. On 
                   some nights, when no band is playing, the local radio   
                   stations take time for top 40 dance parties.  Its a small
                   place which only holds about 500 capacity.
Opening Times: The bar opens at 8pm and closes between 1-2am depending on the
               night. Its closed on Mondays except when a band is scheduled.

Name: The Sting
Location: New Britian, CT
Type of Place: Bar
Live Bands: Yes
Brief Description: I must say that this place just opened a couple of years 
                   ago, and hasn't gotten as many big name bands, but its 
                   well on its way.  Now when bands come to CT for a small 
                   venue tour they'll hit both Toads and The Sting. The Sting
                   has two bars and holds about 1500 capacity.
Opening Times: Same as Toads, but not closed on Monday.

Pink's Garage
location: Honolulu, Hawaii (in Waikiki, I think)
type: bar

Name of Club/Pub/Bar:- Long Wongs
Location (Street, City, Country):- Mill Avenue, Tempe, Arizona, USA 
(near Arizona State Univ.)
Type of Place:- Bar I guess
Live Bands:- Yes.  Every night, except for an occasional Monday.  
Brief Description:- My favorite dive.  Fairly tiny bar area, larger
"dining area" (never a cover in this section), plus outdoor seating. 
Best chicken wings around, Samuel Adams on tap.  Cover is never more
than $3.  Friendly staff.  Mostly local bands, although Peter Himmelman
played here a year or so ago.  Most nights also have some type of live
music during happy hour (4-8 PM, $3 pitchers, $0.10 wings).  There are
numerous Long Wongs in the Phoenix area, but this is the only bar one,
rest are just restaurants.
Opening times:- 12 noon from Mon.-Sun.  (might close earlier on
Sundays, I don't recall).  Closing time is 1 or 2 AM, I think.
