Saddle Creek Records Opens Omaha Venue

Via Filter: *Saddle Creek Records executives Robb Nansel and Jason Kulbel will open a 470-capacity live music venue in downtown Omaha later this month. The Slowdown venue (named after the band) is part of a multimillion-dollar, mixed-use development that will include apartments, an art-house theater, retail stores, and a restaurant. Nansel and Kulbel own the entire complex and will essentially be landlords.

Slowdown features a balcony that hovers 14 feet above the stage, a retractable glass wall that can separate the bar from the stage, a green room with showers and a washer-dryer, a photo booth, and a free jukebox which is surely stocked with a boat load of Saddle Creek releases. It's almost enough to make an indie-rock fan wanna move to Nebraska. Almost.*
