A wide range of genres perform at Showcase Live, so there is something to keep everyone happy. But, this is Within Rocking Distance dammit, so we’re here to share that Showcase has been the head banging host to some 80s metal acts recently. Recent rockers to swing through have been W.A.S.P., Adler’s Appetite, and the Triple Threat Tour, which joined the sleazy forces of Faster Pussycat, Tracii Guns’ version of L.A. Guns, and John Corabi. The venue lends itself to these kinds of rock bands well, due to its modest size and top-notch sound. So, to all you rockers, keep your watchful eye on their schedule!
Now that we’ve covered the most important aspect of Showcase, let’s move on to the second most…booze, naturally. (Metal and alcohol just go hand-in-hand, don’t they?) Showcase Live boasts a decent bar, with a tasty menu of signature drinks and top-notch liquors, as well as beer and wine choices. Though a bit pricy, you get what you pay for. In that vein, Showcase offers a dinner menu to those who score a table, though I can’t comment on the grub – too much rock happening to waste time eating. However, it is yet another option for show-goers and is what helps set this venue apart from many others. Additionally, if being seated is your thing, you can call ahead (or log onto Ticketmaster) and reserve a large VIP booth for a party of 4.

Other perks of Showcase Live include free (!) parking, located next to Patriot Place [translation: shopping, more restaurants & bars, blah blah blah], private event bookings, and, oh, how could I forget to mention...most of the bands we’ve seen come through here host a meet-n-greet after the show in the lobby. Yeah, how about that?!
Showcase Live is located at 23 Patriot Place, Foxborough, MA 02035.
