Kress Live

Security guys are nice. That’s the only reason they received a star.
Spent extra money on a «VIP ticket» — with no VIP service. In fact, anyone could go upstairs to the VIP section because there was no bouncer upstairs, no bartender, pretty much nothing that was promised when purchasing a VIP ticket. Should have been informed that there was only GA at this show. They basically robbed so many people who spent extra money to purchase VIP. Ridiculous.
The bartenders were extremely short with me. I was never rude. Waited on men twice before me after I had been standing there longer. First off, I was there first. Second, I’m a female and you just look past me? Wow.
I really have nothing good to say about this place except I love the band who played there.
I would really appreciate it if you gave back to the «VIP ticket» holders which you basically robbed. Thanks

I had never heard of this place until my friend asks me to with her to a show. I figure ‘why not?’ as she and I would be on guest list and VIP so we wouldn’t have to spend any money. So I look up the club online. The pictures looked great! Nice interior of the club, good use for color and lights. Has art all over the walls, two stories, 3 bars… Ok, cool.
Then we get there. The front of the club is lit with bright fluorescent lights. The door staff we’re not friendly and I don’t think I saw a bouncer. We get told there is no VIP for tonight. Ok, still have free tickets. So we head into the club itself.
We went to see Kristian Nairn. Yeah, the guy who plays Hodor. I was really excited for him. The DJ that was on while we walked in was good. Nothing amazing, but he played stuff that people were dancing to. The second DJ sucked. Completely killed the night. And while we waited for Mr Nairn, we realized that it’s getting late. It was 1:30 and he still hadn’t started his set. We learned from a promoter (who was very nice) that the club couldn’t pay the other half of his CASH only contract. Uh… Ok. So at 1:50 we went down the street for 15 minutes, and the promoter told us he finally went on stage. So we rush back.
By this time we’re really pissed. But in the end, we did get to see him play and we got meet and greets.
TL;DR: The owners and publicity guys for this place suck. Why sign a contract when you can’t afford to pay the guy? And don’t put crap DJs up there to torture us for 4 hours.
The crowd was meh. There a few people who were alright but it was mostly military guys under the age of 21 on leave. I didn’t buy any alcohol, but they charged $ 1 for tap water in a cup. REALLY?
Mississippi has no EDM scene.

I am on a little weekend trip to Biloxi from Nola, and my Airbnb host recommend we try this new music venue. When I heard Grayson Capps was playing …“drink a little poison ‘for you die…” I had to go. The venue is huge and they have some more awesome acts coming up. Insane clown posse… very well done inside. Gen adm $ 10/​VIP &45, and the drinks are poured heavy handed for $ 6. Grayson was awesome as was the opening band that played with him too, Sugarcane Jane. Highly recommend. It’s a sleeper right now.
