It may not have been the venue's fault that the show started nearly an hour late and that the sound was rather crap. That could be tardy musos not allowing time for proper sound checks.
The venue does however have to take responsibility for combining the policies of not allowing re-entry with allowing smoking absolutely fucking EVERYWHERE. If you have the cheek to pull that shit you should have some pretty shit hot ventilation. Gate does not. It's even possible that Suntory "Taruzume Nama" doesn't taste like dirty dishwater, just that my senses of smell and taste were totally clapped out by the fumes.
Two ladies loos, 50cm stage, good visibility, lighting a bit strobe-happy, capacity 300. Google maps on the website. Coming from Wakayamashi station on the Nankai line head straight forward from the station up a widish street till you get to an intersection with a wider street. There's a pedestrian overpass and a Lawson. Cross the big street and bear left up a smaller street. Keep going until you see a shopping arcade across the road and turn left. It'll be a bit further up on your right. About 10 minutes walk all up. It looks like this from across the street. The signage is pretty subtle. Gate is to the left, in the basement.
