I saw Deerhoof there in June, and I arrived late - I didn't expect it to be too busy, but shit I couldn't get near the front. At the back there's some nice sofas/seating areas, that are elevated (slightly) from the standing area. But seriously, who the fuck wants to SIT and watch this. Get there early guys..

Sound there has always been good enough for me. I saw Dinosaur Jr there and they were LOUD, same with Mono and Sunn 0))). For a (fairly) small venue, it's got fantastic sound quality, imo.

oh man...only 2 weeks to go!

Are you talking about the ABC2? There are two stages, there is a much bigger one, the ABC1 (with a mirrorball) in the building that's about the same size as the Barrowlands. There's no way they'd be on the smaller stage..
