By John Bear, Westword | The Front Range is awash with venues big and small, but Dog House Music Studios owners Kenny and Liz Vasko say their new venue, The End, will stand apart in Lafayette, as it’s more like a community than just a music hall.
Liz says that when you walk down the hall at Dog House Music, where The End is situated, you might hear a blend of metal, mariachi, funk and rock as bands rehearse. People are always hanging outside, eating snacks and playing hacky sack.
“It’s basically never dead,” Liz says. “There’s always something happening.”
The space is similar to a big dorm. Bands will throw “micro-concerts” for each other in the rehearsal spaces, and members from some Dog House bands will also join with others — there’s a lot of musical cross-pollination going on.
“A lot of our artists basically live here,” Liz says. “They hang out here. They drink coffee and just chat. It’s nice that folks can come in for a show and really see where the musicians kind of live and just what their lives look like. You get a sort of behind-the-scenes hang with your favorite band.”
The End will have its inaugural show with Bear and the Beasts and Hand Turkey on Friday, September 23. The venue will also be part of the Lafayette Music Fest on October 8, with seven local acts playing there.
