The club can hold approximately 250 people and has and excellent sound system.
In the past we have hosted such bands as, Bleach, The Chariot, Cool Hand Luke, Downtown Singapore, Disciple, Sophomore, Crimson Addict, He Is Legend, Far-less, Number One Gun, The Chemistry, Mourning September, Bastian, and many more.
We are also open on special week nights for national touring bands. We have the ability to use The Granada Theater which is located next door and can accommodate 2000 for larger shows.

Well, last night was the last show and I must say, I never thought I'd live to see it. I am glad I was able to be a part of such a great place. I'll never forget the memories and people. I cried a little as most everyone did. It felt like a piece of me died last night. But, as people say, it's okay and we're just moving on to bigger and better things. The Granada is going to be big, bad, sweaty, attractive, and fun like we'll all remember the Living Room was. =] Thank you for everything.
well. tonight was the last one in my favorite little hot sweaty building with sweat stained carpets and the slight hint of blood. haha. but i sure did love that place. and i cryed a little tonight after the show was done. i didnt want to leave. i love you guys. i love the place. i really love the atmospher. ill be there when you start up things in the granada and ill never forget the fun times. thanks for always givin me a place to esceape =)
Tanks for the living room a ton tom, it always gave me somethn to do on the weekends and it was always a great place to hang out and make friends, ive also seen alot of good quality bands there that i mite not be able to see again n a long while, thx for your establishment and hard work
I know that I speak for a lot of people when I say that the Living Room is synonymous with coming of age in Mt. Vernon and that the memories of times shared there will last a lifetime. Thank you for all the hard work you put in over the years, no one else could have done it.
Hey Tom I only got to go to your place once and it was very cool it is a shame that you are closing I really hope you open back up because places like yours kept kids off drugs. our place in salem will hopefully give the kids a place to go still while your closed and keep them safe. god bless man and best of luck.
Tom, Since everyone else is leaving their final thoughts on here, I thought I should do so as well. I just wanted to thank you for providing all of us kids somewhere that we can all fit in, meet new people, and listen to great music in such a safe environment. I've been a part of the Living Room family for 8 years and I wish it could've lasted longer. Thanks to you, a lot of kids have been away from parties and stupid crap that could hurt us. You care about all of us and I couldn't thank you enough for all that you've done. I've met so many amazing people and bands and have had so many unforgettable memories. Thank you for all that you've done. I'm praying for the Living Room and hoping that there'll be another opportunity to have a new location. If it wasn't for you, I would've never met Shane Burtch. And if it wasn't for Shane, I wouldn't have known what I wanted to go to college for. So, thank you once again for everything. Thank you for being a second father and providing me a home away from home.
hey tom, i really apreciate what you have done for us kids with the living room. im sry ppl have to be ignorante and litter. i hope whatever you decide to do next comes out good =]
Hey Tom, thanks so much for having the living room. it is my favorite place to be. im soo sad that its shutting down. last night when you told me bye i really wanted to come give you a hug but i was a little scared i would cry. well i guess thats all i wanted to say. thank you.. and i'll really miss you and the living room. :) love, Alex.
