Boa relocation

To relieve a nasty bout of boredom this morning, I checked out the Boa-Redux message board. Turns out the new location for the club is to be 360 Adelaide Street.

That's just down the road from its old spot on Spadina, but it will be strange to now have it surrounded by the Richmond dross. I hope it's not set to become a watered down version of its excellent old self as a result.

It did used to be a bit dodgy - you had to go through a metal detector before you could enter - but that was all part of its charm! It was an alternative club which played the good stuff.

I for one am going to miss dancing away in a disused theatre and hope it manages to cling on to its underground vibe at its new home.

Wow! Incredible news! I would have hands-down given Boa the title for "best sound system in Toronto", however a lot of it was due to how their Dynacord sound system resonated within the room space. Take into consideration that System Soundbar and The Docks have the same type of sound system now.. but it sounds completely different in all of the venues. Part of what WORKED for Boa was the interior specifically... not to mention they just spent a ton of money getting an indoor smoking room... so I'm really curious about this move. I suspect there's more to the story other than simply "needing a change of location".
