About Program Council
Program Council has a history of presenting incredible artists that pass through the Front Range area. The Who, The Rolling Stones, Van Halen and The Grateful Dead all appeared on Folsom Field in the heyday of rock. Paramore, Nirvana, the Foo Fighters and Phish, however, are among the bands that have rocked out in Club 156.
About Club 156
As much as the music and Program Council staff has changed over the years, Club 156 has remained a constant fixture, searching for the cutting edge of new acts, spanning every musical genre, and bringing them right to campus. Just as much as the music is underground, so is the club itself.
Westword describes it as, “a bizarre little world in the bowels of the UMC,” which is about an accurate location description as any. Entering The Connection on the first floor of the central hub on campus, one might be distracted by the pizazz of Boulder’s only bowling alley, but Club 156 is in there too, off to the right, displaying Duran Audio Axys Mini-Arena Loudspeakers and a 32 channel Midas Venice for the front of house. Which means, it might get loud.
Known as Quigley’s until 1991, Club 156 continues a long-standing tradition, much like Program Council itself. Hosting alternative dance parties in the late ’80s with KUCB (now known as Radio 1190/KVCU), the “little venue that could” is looking to bring back something similar with a game plan of bi-weekly electronic DJ sets.
And the best thing: You never know when a band you see in Club 156 will appear in the next big festival or amphitheater.
