Three Bands Split One Mission Street Bill
Dutch Melrose, Benny Mayne, and Pretty Havoc share a Thursday bill at Brick and Mortar Music Hall.
🎫 A Thursday on Mission
🎼 Three Sets, One Night
Three acts split the night rather than one headliner taking most of it. Dutch Melrose, Benny Mayne, and Pretty Havoc each play a full set, with changeovers running short between them. Brick and Mortar books this format regularly for bands still building an audience in the city. A shared bill means the room turns over between sets rather than emptying at the end, which changes who you end up standing next to. Nobody plays for more than an hour.
🍸 The Room Itself
Brick and Mortar holds a few hundred people with a bar running the length of one wall and a low stage at the far end. You show a ticket at the Mission Street door and walk straight in. The floor stays open, and people drift toward the bar between sets. A neon sign behind the stage lights the whole room on its own, which is why phone photos here come out red. Sound runs loud for a room this size.
🚏 Getting There and Fit
The music starts at 8 in the evening on Thursday, September 17, at 1710 Mission Street. The 14 and 49 buses stop within a block, and Van Ness station sits a short walk away. Arrive for the first set if you want to see all three bands. Tickets for a three band bill cost less than most single headliner shows, worth knowing on a school night. It suits anyone who likes finding a band before the room does. If you came for one act only, this is not that.
