I was a regular at The Showcase for years, and had the good fortune to see many well known bands as the SubHumans, The BillyBones and 45 Grave to many glorious but well kept secrets like The Casket Salesman and Yakuza. It closed down at the end of April 2008 after 15 wonderful years. Goths, punks, metalheads all had a place to call home, but alas, it as shutdown now by the City of Corona, but will be relocating and opening again soon, we hall hope. The best Mosh pit in the Inland Empire and great acoustics. This place had the ambiance and closeness of the House of Blues, yet was half the price, a typical weekend night was 10 or 12 dollars. So many fun memories, I hope it opens again soon!
Pros: Cheap tickets, great bands, Mosh pit, crowd surf all the way to the stage!
Cons: Now closed down. :(
