Saw the Lalas in Detroit in a ballroom full of chairs. The chairs were the small metal kind with…read moreminimal padding and lined up touching each other so you were touching your fellow audience members. Not huge deal but not what was expected. The stage was raised 2-3 feet so unless you are in the first few rows, you end up watching the show in the large screens on both sides of the stage. Unfortunately, it got worse from there. The show was Disappointing, and not real burlesque. This is simply a non-nude strip show. Real burlesque is about subduction and teasing an audience, not ruff gyrations in fancy costume, with an expensive light show, a fog machine and blaring music. Although the show had about 10 different scenes, none were original or creative. All were a cliché, the Carman Miranda with the fruit skull cap, dominatrix in black shiny vinyl outfit, sexy secretary with black rim glasses, sequence belly dancer outfit with vails that get pulled down and that turns into cowgirls with a western song playin, down to the bride with Billy Idols white wedding playing. The music is to loud, to the point the speakers distort the sound. The songs chosen are the same used in every strip show and topless bar TV show and movie scene depicting stripping. The sad part is this show had the potential to be good given the production value and obvious costs spent on costume and lights alone. The best description I can give is, this is what a 14 year old boy thinks burlesque is. It's not, it's ladys gyrating and waving their asses in the air. No sudction, no teasing, just scantly clad lady, who are not really sexy. The dancer who acts as an MC asking the audience to yell louder for her fellow dancers. If you want to see a strip show without going to a strip club, then this shows is for you. If you want Burlesque, save your money and wait and see Dita von Tease or someone similar. I have seen many Burlesque shows, from the Dirty Show performances to The Empire Strips Back, to local theater production style shows put on is unused factory's to local theaters. All were better then this, even if they did not have expensive costumes and light show. If you want a strip show go to your local strip club. If you want burlesque, this show is not, skip it.

Nice, intimate venue. Really cool place to see a small concert. Looking forward to another visit.read more

I saw my cousins Henri and Bill play in their band Starcrawler here a couple of weeks ago. I…read morebrought along with me the inimitable Dave Benitez. My sister and brother-in-law were there, as was my cousin Buddy, father of Henri and Bill. OK, enough name-dropping. I'll talk about the venue itself--I really will--but I have to focus on parking, because it's an utter joke. We knew we would be late because of when we left, but we did arrive at the parking lot in time to see at least part of the opening act--or we would have, if the place's parking lot hadn't been tiny. The attendant told us to make a left and right and then turn right on the first street and look for parking there. If there wasn't any, we were to proceed to the following street, in front of the Jack in the Box, and if there was no parking there, we could probably (!) park in the Jack in the Box parking lot without getting a ticket (!!). I followed his directions to a tee, and there were no spaces on either street in indicated, and I wasn't about to get my car towed two days before I had to drive it back to San Francisco. This part of Santa Ana is all commercial and industrial businesses in strip malls with parking lots, but for some reason, there's no street parking. I would understand a no-overnight-parking restriction to prevent people from living in their vehicles, but what purpose does the current restriction serve? None, other than to frustrate would-be spenders of sales tax in Santa Ana--stupid policy. Anyway, we spent the next twenty minutes driving up and down similarly long blocks, hoping for some legal parking. Then my brother-in-law saved the day by calling us and telling us to go to the Jack in the Box parking lot and look for the guy in the safety vest. We did so, and after we paid him $20, he directed us to one of those empty business parking lots. And we still had to walk like a half-mile to the venue. The Constellation Room is part of the Observatory, which was also hosting another band in a separate room at the same time. That explains the lack of parking, but why exactly is a venue booking more bands than it has parking for? Why don't they proactively reach out to their neighbor businesses and pay them (or have us pay them) to use their empty parking lots? It makes no sense. The Observatory looks pretty cool, but we only walked through it into the Constellation Room, which also looks very neat with the lights on. When we arrived, Buddy was right next to the door, and my sister was talking to Henri's girlfriend, who was manning the merch table in the back. I walked toward my sister and proceeded to fall flat on my stomach (I broke my fall with my hands, so I didn't hit my head). There's a single large step to get up onto the platform where the table is set up, but I couldn't see it even with the lights on, and there's no handrail. I didn't care at the time besides being embarrassed, but the following week, I had a some excruciatingly painful case of sciatica that lasted almost five days, and I'm still taking steroids for it. I don't know whether that fall caused the sciatica to flare up, but it couldn't have helped, and it's the only weird jarring-type of thing that I experienced a few days beforehand. The show itself was amazing. The sound quality is really good. I'm sure it helped that I was standing against the back wall. I think they allowed in more people than the official capacity, but I didn't have to worry about crowd churn where I was standing. It's always worth it to see and support my cousins, but this venue needs some serious nuts-and-bolts work. Parking is zero stars. Get more; don't encourage people to park illegally. Maybe spend less time on the glow tape and other nice details on the venue's interior signs and ripoff-price-drink menus and add some glow tape to the edge of that single stair. For the majority of the concert, the room was a sold four-and-a-half stars.

Not only were they an amazing and talented band, they were SO accommodating to our very specific requests for the event. They made sure the event was a success - from start to finish they were perfect. Jason came for setup early to make sure everything was ready to start on time....and did I mention they brought all their production equipment AND operated everything? Lights, sound, monitor....everything! Since our event was open to anyone to perform on stage, there was a lot of switching equipment/instruments etc around, but they accommodated without a fuss... to top it off, everyone in the band is super cool and I really enjoyed hanging out with them too! We will definitely book them again for another event, and I highly recommend booking them if you're looking for a band for your event!

It's going to be impossible to describe the show like I want without spoilers so be warned! When we took our seats I was surprised to see that a significant portion of the stage was covered in flowers. For the pre-show they brought out these little garden "robots" with watering cans on their heads. They really surprised me because they picked flowers, picked up tools, and even shook maracas! Before we knew it the show started with just a stunning image of a woman with giant butterfly wings running behind a giant silver horse (operated by at least three people) on a rotating conveyor belt. After this was a tumbling act on the rotating conveyor belt. It was so interesting to be able to see this from many different angles. Luzia is based on Mexican culture and fantasy. The imagery throughout the show was color, fun, and beautiful. You had everything from lucha libre costumes to people with giant fish heads "swallowing" their heads. The music and singing was lovely as well. I didn't know anything about this show and was shocked when "rain" started being incorporated into the acts. Sometimes it was to help with imagery for the story (think a woman on a trapeze swinging through it) but sometimes it was also used for comedy. The one part where the clown just wanted a drink of water was hilarious. They also had a section where the falling water made shapes such as hearts. I could have watched that for hours. I couldn't believe how much water was dropped during the production. The hand balancing act was played for humor and it worked really well. I've never seen hand balancing like this before and it was really well executed. The solo contortionist was interesting and horrifying at the same time. Normally I'm indifferent about juggling but their juggler really won me over with the "speed juggling" he did at the end of his act. Really great stuff! I must admit I got nervous during the straps act. I would have been fine with the artist just walking off of the stage instead of disappearing so high above the stage. The show was finished off with the Russian Swings, which is always spectacular. We all loved Luzia and were glad that we made the drive to attend it!

Unsure about the food after reading mixed reviews on quality. Either the previous naysayers don't know food, or we hit on an unusual night. My thoughts are there were other issues that turned the night sour for them. Hubbie had the wedge salad with extra blue cheese dressing AND extra crumbles. Crisp iceberg lettuce, ripe tomato wedges, plenty of blue cheese to satisfy this cheese lover. He also ordered the 8oz. Filet. Perfect medium doneness with a yummy brandy cream type sauce. A house special he thoroughly enjoyed. Heard about the bread & Jax sauce dip. So glad I ordered the large. So the dip was a brothy slightly spicey dip. Reminiscent of spaghetti sauce flavors. Kind of like you're dipping into a saucy entree. Loved this. Had the Jambalaya with added shrimp. Adequate amount of chicken, thinly sliced andouille sausage. Which could have been sliced a bit thicker, but whatever. Tasted great, slight spice, proteins not overcooked. I'd order again. Ordered a dirty martini with an extra olive. Good and strong. Such a pleasant evening. Local small music venue. Will keep an eye out for visiting musicians.
