I went to Cheyenne Saloon for a concert on Halloween night, 2011. What a night that was. The show was supposed to start at 9:00. It started closer to 10:00 with local band Kreep. They were great. The sound was aweful but that was no fault of the band. They were getting frustrated by it and had to cut their set short. This sentiment was echoed by the next band (whose name is not worth remembering) and the headliner, the legendary and surprisingly unknown Anvil. When all was said and done, I had been taken from Monday evening to the early hours of Tuesday morning. It was a crazy fun night. I love a good rock show. The sound may have been horrible. The air may have been saturated with cigarette smoke. The drinks may have been pricey. The point is, it was a fun and intimate setting for such music. By intimate I mean small enough that there is a very real chance you will get to meet the bands and have a drink with them. I met Kreep through a mutual friend. He met Anvil by staying a while after the show. If you are a metal head like me. If you appreciate the unknown garage rock sound. If you don't mind a somewhat dirty and sketchy environment, by all means check out Cheyenne Saloon. It can be fun. Just don't expect too much.
