> I heard of Palladium but the capacity for that space is so big.

There's two spaces, the smaller space (Upstairs) is 500.


Boston/Cambridge:

Brighton Music Hall is 500.

Middle East complex - Upstairs is ~200, Sonia is ~350, Downstairs is 575.

Those both host a lot of the heavier gigs that come to town in that size range.

Sinclair is ~525 but I rarely see any heavy shows booked there.

If you're tiny, O'Briens is 75 I think.


Smaller places I've seen metal shows at before in the wider area:

Worcester - Ralph's Rock Diner - ~400.

Providence - Fete Music Hall's smaller room is ~200, Alchemy - ~300.

Edit: Haven't been there, but Taffeta in Lowell is in that size range I think and has multiple metal gigs on the upcoming calendar.

You could also probably skim this listing of upcoming punk/hardcore shows in the region for venues I haven't mentioned, if they'll book that they'll certainly book metal: https://safeinacrowd.com/

Check out Ralph’s in Worcester. In the Boston area, The Middle East has three venues (upstairs/Sonia/downstairs) that might help you Goldilocks capacity.

If you’re looking for a spot in NYC, check out Saint Vitus in Brooklyn.

It's super easy and quick to do it yourself. My husband cleaned ours in the fall and it took about 20 minutes total. Plus, with the attachments being less than $50, it will save you lots to do it yourself.

I do have a drill and thought about that, but I also just have pretty bad allergies and my vent is def full of a few years of cat and dog hair. I know I messed up as a home owner, but I figured I’d have someone else do it to clear it out for the first time then be a bit more fastidious in the future. I may yet just buy the attachment though since it seems like there aren’t a ton of reputable services
