Very solid Az music venue.

I've had nothing but good experiences with Big Fish Pub. The sound people have never given us any problems and do great work. However, I have seen some amature bands come through there and complain about the place because they don't bring anybody and for some reason expect to get paid...? Bands with this attitude need to stay making music in grandma's living room.
- Pros: Friendly staff, great sound, nice stage.

BIG FISH SCRUBBED!!!
by dsadati
My band, Madame Sheeba was booked to play July 25th, 2009. We were told that we'd be playing last in this hodge-podge of bands that were playing last night at the Big Fish Pub. We were told we get an hour for our set, so we had an 11 song set list planned, which included some new ones we haven't done yet.. Well, we got onstage at 8:45 pm and got 3 songs under our belt until they pulled the plug because it was "hip hop night" after 9pm. Are u freakin' kidding me!? They had 6 people come in for that B.S. and we had 40 people there to see us play!! You are gonna throw away all the revenue from drinks for a few people to be there for hip hop!? Needless to say, we were aggrivated, and more so for the people that had come to see us and got 3 songs for their $8 or $10. So, this company, AFTON productions is a complete scam! They've got a bad rap all over the internet for their "pay to play" scheme. We had to sell our own tickets and promote our show for those a$$ clowns to get paid! So, we weren't able to get the money back for our fans, but were gonna do something to rectify this situation. What I'm asking is for people to e-mail the hell out of AFTON productions at aftonlive. It's actually so shady that you can't contact them directly, but they contact you. I know we can't blame the club completely, but the fact that they booked 2 shows in one night is pretty stupid, and I don't wanna be an a$$hole, but DJ Adrenaline is a douche anyway. He is in an Alice in Chains tribute band and he can't sing Layne Staley worth a damn! The guy was amazing, and you put him to shame you no-talent butthole So now I'm just going off, but I'm completely amazed by Big Fish Pub's lack of booking savvy and their production company's complete retardedness. I want to make this right for all the people that have come to see us time after time. You guys are the reason we book these shows!!! We'll do what we can, and we apologize to the utmost for the total disaster that took place Saturday night..
- Pros: Friendly bartenders
- Cons: Production company booked 2 shows in one night
