Talk:P.A.'s Lounge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Regarding notability ("a topic is notable if it has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, reliable published works, whose sources are independent of the subject itself"), a number of news items specifically on PA's have appeared, as its emergence as a music venue has brought a lot of people to the neighborhood who would almost certainly never go there otherwise. Given the current business/cultural/demographic shifts mounting in the square, this is not insignificant. One example:

• Morse, Steve. "Union Square Wakes Up At Night." Boston Globe, July 25, 2002. Solely deals with PA's as new venue in local music circuit.

"The latest club to join Union Square's live entertainment scene is PA's Lounge, a funky, non-upscale spot right up the street from Tir na nOg and not far from the more chic Independent," etc.

I'll post more when I find them, but they do appear with some regularity.

There is more that can be said as well, as currents in venues have a great impact on the state of the local rock 'n' roll community. The emergence of smaller venues such as the Abbey Lounge, Great Scott, and PA's has filled a certain void for smaller, unsigned acts incapable or unwilling to endeavor to fill rooms like the Middle East.

Is this too narrow a scope in which to judge notability? Massachusetts 20:15, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

I think P.A.'s certainly is notable enough to qualify for inclusion. It has very recently become a much talked about underground venue for acts both legendary and new. If bookings continue as they are much more will be heard about P.A.'s. Inoculatedcities 00:49, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
