What started as a biker bar is now an uber clean, all ages, Christian music club... and,…read moreunfortunately, one of the only underaged music venues in CB. Rebels His Hands (as it is called), is a small, cramped and run down place surrounded by shady taverns and railroad tracks. I used to go down here Friday nights in junior high school. When you're a 7th grader, this place that looks so grimy and tattered, full of torn up pool tables, street signs and broken arcade games, where you can buy Jones Soda and chips and listen to unknown local bands play, is awesome. When you're 21 and want to listen to a decent band and kick back with a beer, not so much. It's not so much the atmosphere at Rebels, the dirty biker bar feel is kind of cool, kind of punk or metal or whatever. What makes this place suck so bad, for both the musicians and the audience, is the super conservatism. If you're a band, you're lyrics have to be clean, if they catch you using, non-God appropriate language, you get asked to leave. What's worse is the fact that even the audience can't use language, they will get asked to leave also. There's no artistic freedom there, you can't even get close to "questionable content", a friend's band got in trouble for covering "Suck My Kiss" by The Red Hot Chili Peppers there once. This song doesn't have much language but what they were more offended by was the fact that "suck my kiss" sound to close to something sexual. If you're band has a schtick, such as wearing suits on stage (that was what my former ska band did), they will not allow you to play. They are so concerned about kids having fun that they almost become the "fun Nazis", you can enter the building in a suit and tie, if you do they will cut off your tie and hang it from the rafters. Overall, it's an okay place to get a start as a young 8th grade musician, but if you're serious about what you do and not super religious or even just wanna have fun at a show, don't go to Rebels.
