TOP 20 FAVORITE SHOWS OF 2014

      2014 was a year of whole new height for Bane Shows. We booked our first 1000 capacity room this year at the main room of The Catalyst. Which we sold out 2 out of 3 main rooms shows this year with Future Islands & Amon Amarth. Very surreal experience working with top tear musicians. We also got to book the long awaited home town show for BL'AST! A very special event for the city of Santa Cruz. We also booked a lot of free shows at Metavinyl year. We got to see some very special and intimate experiences. We hosted Braveyoung's last California show, All Dogs & Burt Palms brought the mosh, and Birdcloud brought down the house. Lastly, booking Thou & Cloud Rat on Record Store Day at Streetlight Records was unbelievable. First and last time mosh pit inside Streetlight. Another new addition to the the Bane Shows family is Santa Cruz based clothing company Thieves as our shows sponsor. So stoked to work with a company that takes pride in the quality of there clothing and connection with the Santa Cruz music scene. Here is a list of our 20 favorite shows of 2014. See you in 2015!!!
