The Marburg Hotel [260 Ludlow] was our home and DIY music venue which hosted free concerts and monthly open mic nights, multi-media events and dank dance parties, 2009-11.
Since moving from the Hotel, the Collective facilitates in realizing integral live performances, including hospitable shows for travelling performers, a Monday night event series for primarily local musicians, and record album release shows on behalf of familial Collective projects. Our events have found homes in central Cincinnati venues [namely The Comet]. Please send all booking requests, ideas for show, interesting bits to [email protected] .

..all shows listed were realized at Marburg Hotel [260 Ludlow] unless noted otherwise.
..Open Mind Night was a free range open mic night, unique to Marburg Hotel, apt. 1w. .. "the purpose of the event is sincere, and that is to incite a congregation of creative people [you all] to share in each others creative forthgivings, for the sake of inspiration, motivation, and sanitation [spiritual]. This is a home-style open mic night, and we would love for you to participate." -MC.
..basement shows went down in the basement of the Marburg, apartment shows in apartment 1W. There were a few bedroom bashes which happened in apartment 2W, and a handful of shows which definitely happened some time at the Marburg, but are not listed here.
..SHADOWRAPTR played the final Marburg Show, in apartment 4W. It was a hoot.
..deepest gratitude to anyone who ever came to any show for any reason.
