If they wanted a small but excellent venue in Brighton then the Prince Albert would have been my choice.
This is the NME, so I'm guessing they mean if it holds less than 60% of Kanye West's audience it's considered a pisshole.
Definitely agree about the King Albert. I've been to the Concorde 2 countless times because, a) it's right on my doorstep, and b) they always seem to draw the best acts, but I don't know what it is about that place but the acoustics do tend to sound a bit washed-out for some reason unbeknownst to my sonically-ignorant self.
Out of Brighton, I'd vote for the Blind Tiger Club.
I think I preferred the Blind Tiger when the stage was at the front. It's a bit more tricky now to get to the bar or the gents...
Just come back from The Orb feat percussive/yelpy/dancey Ghanaian dewds and I'm with you now. Plus it feels like stepping into a rainforest when the place is semi-full. Open a couple of windows, guyze! Still, not gonna stop me from catching Jeffrey Lewis & Peter Stampfel there on Tuesday.
EDIT: Also finally noticed my "King Albert" slip-up. Dunce's hat time.
