“There’s a narrative involved each time you play a venue that feels like home,” Nakamura tells the Appeal. “Trevor Garrod has a long history with Guy [Carson], who booked one of his band’s first shows and Jules of Sea of Bees said Du Nord was one of the first places she played. I certainly felt that I had reached a new level the first time I played there. There was a sense of prestige because I saw so many good shows there. It certainly made me play better.”
-Goh Nakamura via San Francisco Says Goodbye (For Now) To Cafe Du Nord
Sad to hear that Cafe Du Nord is (partially) closing down. It's one of my favorite places to see a show, and it's always felt like home. I'll be at the show tomorrow night (Friday), so if you're in SF come on by and say hi (and goodbye).
