Having Fun in a Live House
The first live house started in Kyoto, Japan – in an old sake house. The concept of featuring live music, usually folk music, blues, jazz, or rock, in a small venue like a bar soon caught on. China, Taiwan, South Korea, and other Asian countries soon established their own live houses.
Today, you can find a live housealmost anywhere. People have taken to the concept like the proverbial duck to water. For what is there not to love about a live music venue?
You can have a cocktail in the bar – or even dinner with the entire family, and listen to a local live band playing a variety of music, including rap and indie rock. Some venues even encourage the audience to jam with the band. If you are a frustrated rock star wannabe, visit a live music bar and indulge your own little flight of the imagination.
Some live music venues feature both live music and dancing. You have a choice of listening to the band and watching people do R&B, reggae, or swing – or you can step right up and put on your dancing shoes.
Are you feeling down in the dumps? Is the work stress getting to you? Do you need a break from your everyday routine? Go to a live housewith your friends.
Research shows that music, laughter, and being with friends are some of the best ways to reduce stress. You have all three when you go to a live music venue.
You’ll soon feel like part of the crowd – erupting in song or tapping your heels to the music of the live band. The energy, the ambiance, the music and lights, the inviting sound of guitars – all these are guaranteed to boost your adrenaline and make you feel that life is amazing.
It is not surprising that live houses everywhere continue to draw an increasing number of patrons.
