- Mesa Luna
-
The Mesa Luna was a Salsa club and restaurant located on West Broadway in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The Mesa Luna is notable for being "Western Canada's only All Age/licensed concert venue."[1] Utilizing a wristband ID system, the club was able to host minors as well as serve alcohol.
Events
On Fridays and Saturdays, the Mesa Luna was host to Salsa dancing nights. Sunday through Thursday, it was available for private booking. Due to the efforts of local concert promoters, these private booking nights were utilized frequently to host local metalcore and post-hardcore shows. Among the many artists who played there were Lights Below, Protest The Hero, Misery Signals, A Textbook Tragedy, Daggermouth, Against Me!, Converge, City and Colour, and Arcade Fire.
Closure
In early May, 2006, the Mesa Luna closed its doors.[2] The closure was a huge loss to the local post-hardcore music scene, and with no other venues like it in the area.
