What a great time! Get there before the band starts(I think they started at 10) to get in on the front row action and be prepared to defend your spot at all costs! My friends and I snagged a spot up front and center and had the time of our lives. The karaōke singers got to live like rock stars and everyone in the crowd treated them as such while they sang! We all had a great time!

I’m the first to review Metalsome Karaōke on 10 High Club’s Unilocal page. There are some reviews of it on the Darkhorse page, but that is a separate club upstairs, and the reviews should be here. Metalsome is your chance to sing with a live band. It is not limited to «metal» songs, but all of the songs are rock. The band itself is awesome. I didn’t hear them make one mistake during the 4+ hours I was there. I do think they could make the vocals louder, because sometimes the band out-sounds the inexperienced singers like myself. You will be able to see the words to the song you’re signing, but unlike traditional karaōke, there is no indication of when you are supposed to sign them. You therefore have to be VERY familiar with the song. Your first song is free. If you want to sing a duet or a second song, you have to pay $ 20. One rule they don’t list on their website is that guys can’t sing girl songs, which I find to be sexist and lame, because it doesn’t apply the other way around. My biggest criticisms would be(1) it’s really smoky,(2) it gets extremely crowded and there seems to be no effort at crowd control, and(3) no one comes around to bus empty drinks, so they are scattered everywhere. Otherwise, I had a blast!
