I went there to see the Toxic Reasons which I heard the bass player owns, I think. It is a very nice small club. Looks very new very clean and all the seats are in very good condition!

This is one of my favorite small concert venues in Indy. Limited number of events and select bands. Good sound. Cool bar (from the now defunct downtown ‘Planet Hollywood). Always a fun experience.

Indianapolis has several really cool venues for live music (and a few crap ones). I have a soft place in my heart for Tufty Clough's Radio Radio, a Fountain Square live music spot since 2001 and absolutely one of my favorite places to hear live music in Indy. Radio Radio is a 21 and over, general admission concert venue that offers table and lounge seating on a first-come/first-serve basis with the rest being standing room only (or sitting in my case, eh?). They offer full bar service and have specialty craft cocktails at select shows. Radio Radio is only open during shows with doors opening an hour before the first act is scheduled to play. It's a smoke-free facility, though it's my understanding you can smoke out back. Radio Radio has a really killer vibe with a weaving together of style, substance, retro, and probably a few other things. I don't get to Radio Radio nearly enough, but every time I go I'm like "Man, I need to come here more often."There are free parking lots in various locations around Fountain Square along with street parking in spots. Curb cuts are plentiful in Fountain Square, though it is an older part of the city so there are occasional sidewalk cracks. The front entrance is perfectly accessible and the venue itself is fairly solid, though the "Standing Room Only" shows can be a challenge. My understanding is they'll try to work with you with advance notice, though I have to be honest and say I've never had any difficulties as without exception I've found Radio Radio crowds to be respectful of wheelchair users when they show up. I've always been able to see, though I do typically arrive early just to make sure. Radio Radio's sound system was updated a few years ago and the sound is extremely awesome now. Acts range from local bands to up-and-coming regional and national acts or bands with more of a cult following. Concert capacity is right around 250. There's also this incredibly beautiful winding bar. Employees are friendly and helpful, drink prices are fair (especially for music venues), solid craft beer options, and I just love this entire vibe. It is worth noting that Radio Radio does not do food. If you don't know David "Tufty" Clough, he was the longtime bassist for Toxic Reasons and also for Zero Boys. He was also one of my first artist interviews when I was in college (so, yes. I'm a longtime fan). He also used to own Broad Ripple's Future Shock. This is an awesome venue and one of the better mid-sized options here in Indy. If you've never seen a show, I highly recommend it.

Radio Radio has always been a fantastic place to see live shows in Indianapolis. They support local music, but they bring in touring acts as well. My suggestion is to arrive early enough to grab a small table up front so that you don't end up getting stuck on the wrong side of a pillar. Although sometimes there's no way around it when the bar fills up quickly. Food isn't served here, but there are PLENTY of places nearby within walking distance to enjoy some niblets beforehand. Radio Radio has a solid choice of local craft brews on draft, as well as a full selection of well drinks. I love their lighted bar. It is quite the work of art! I've always had really pleasant service here by all of the bartenders too. One thing I've always loved about this venue is how clean their women's restroom is. It's well-lit, sparkling clean, and always smells fresh. I know it's a simple thing, but it's greatly appreciated. I'm not sure why, but it seems that we go here most when the weather is cold, because most of my memories of this place are ones where I've got my purse, big coat, scarf, hat, and gloves with me. If you're a woman and you've had to manage all of that in a bar bathroom, I know you feel me right now. Radio Radio has hooks on the stall door on which to hang your extras. And if you need to drape something over the stall, it's fine because it's so clean here! If you've never attended a concert in a small, intimate venue, I strongly recommend you do. And Radio Radio is a perfect place to do it.

Radio Radio has always been rad, but the recent upgrade to the sound system has made it one of my favorite places in Indy to see live music. They've also got a great bar with fair prices (not inflated "club" prices!) They also book a lot of great local and national bands, so keep an eye on their website for gigs.
