No Age's Randy Randall talks to SFStation.com about the significance of being both an audience member and performer at the Smell and other all-ages venues.
Randy says, "It was a huge influence. Just being there as an audience member, I saw so many great local and touring bands. As my time there as an audience member grew, I got to know the people who ran it. It is all volunteers who run it, and we’re like a community. If you want to see something happen, you just have to kind of suggest it. It’s just a matter of saying it and putting the show together -- Xeroxing flyers, or whatever. It taught me everything I really know about being in a band and it gave us an opportunity to get onstage."
