NoFun — Local services in Troy

At no fun I've seen local avant garde comedy, new wave industrial goth, blistering blue grass, violin loop epics reminiscent of a scene from eyes wide shut. I've seen astrology disco parties(with a rotating astrological themes and costumes), I've seen local thrash metal bands cutting their teeth, I've seen anime bimbo parties(exactly how it sounds), I've seen couples two step the night away to straight laced country stylings, I've seen psychedelic rock bands from Japan, a Woodstock 99 cover show(yea, that one), I've seen Zardoz(yea that one), I've had a beer in a quiet space with dear friends. I've seen a band called cumgirl8, one called 'a place to bury strangers', and i've seen the medicine singers hammer rhythms into deer skin drums they tanned themselves. Ive seen afro beat, yung fredo, folk punk, glitch core, butt rock, neu metal, soft folk, blues, soul, funk, and weirdly enough a magician once. I've seen locals take the stage and take the plunge and risk baring their soul before the town. I've seen suuns rise in honey and moons come up in wine. I saw death become of light and life become of fire. I saw it from my hiding place within the quagmire.

I forgot my vax card and the door guy was very helpful and took the time in signing me up for the online version so I could still attend the concert! I didn’t know what to drink and the bartender gave me two different options that were perfectly curated to the interests I shared. The acoustics are great, the speakers are loud, and there is exactly the right amount of grunge you would hope to experience in this music haven. They also have events not related to music—follow their Instagram to be fully involved! Thanks, No Fun,...

No Fun is a really great little venue who seem to book a variety of different genres. If you're into craft brew there's plenty of that to experience as well. Everyone was nice and the venue was perfect for what it is. My issue is the atrocious parking situation in Troy that never seems to be addressed. I drove around for 45 minutes looking for somewhere to park and still walked halfway to the shire to get to the venue. Overall a fine experience but have a parking plan...
