The Shadow Lounge is located in the bourgeoning East Liberty neighborhood on the corner of Baum & S. Highland. It shares the same block as the very tasty Abay Ethiopian Restaurant, Carnegie-Mellon's experimental restaurant/reality show known as The Waffle Shop, and a shady Taco shop that never seems to be open (perhaps it once belonged to a Mexican man who has long since vanished).
Weekly, the venue serves up wide array of musical genres, sure to please even the most sophisticated of musical palates. Whether you are a fan of hip-hop or bepob, dance or trance, but especially if you are a fan of Eller Music, you should definitely come check it out.
You enter the lounge directly from the outside and come into a narrow rectangular room. A low-set stage sits at the front end, allowing for an intimate concert experience. The audience can get up close and personal with the artists. On the opposite wall is a bar. Sorry kids, alcohol is readily available, making this an over 21 show.
In between the stage and the bar is a viewing area where the patrons can mingle, drink, listen and watch. There's a sprinkling of chairs and even a well-worn couch along the wall for those who need to rest, or kick back and play a game of chess.
If you aren't doing anything on the evening of January 31st, come down to the Shadow Lounge and hear some sweet tunes. It's going to be exactly like that scene from 8 Mile, but way better.
One last thing, when you buy your tickets online you have the opportunity to specify that you are coming to the show to see Eller. This is better for the artist because it lets the Shadow Lounge know that he can draw a crowd. So don't wait to buy your tickets at the door.
