"Spice Cafe" on Atwood is now "Pub I.G."

We want to welcome Pub I.G. into the scene. Spearheaded by Ray Matthews a.k.a. Uncle Ray, Pub I.G. stands where Spice Cafe once stood. Many a glorious night took place in the underworld of 328 Atwood St., the main drag in the heart of Oakland. From open mic nights to karaoke, here at Major Triad we remember the countless events that made us feel like rock-stars. All of that stopped when Spice Cafe ceased to exist. The many times we walked up Atwood to find that Spice Cafe's doors were closed brought about a sense nostalgia. This nostalgia is now over! With T.J. Harris a.k.a. DJ Get Nasty as resident DJ, things are going to take a new twist. Breathing life into Pub I.G., Get Nasty's outreach through BC1 Production is about to change the game forever. So let the good times roll, and let's set the roof on fire... Well, not literally -- we NEED places like Pub I.G.

Address: 328 Atwood St. Oakland, Pittsburgh, PA.

BEHIND THE SCENES WITH DAVON MAGWOOD

On Monday, January 14th, 2013, the cold winter breeze brought a much anticipated character to Major Triad. Davon Magwood was looking to record his first EP "ALL MY DREAMS ARE DEAD." The goal was to string together some of his favorite comedy bits into an intelligent, insensitive, yet hilarious performance. After a brief discussion in the office over coffee and cigarettes, Ivan Gabriel, producer at Major Triad, began to warm up the equipment needed for Davon's performance. 3 beers later, Davon was  ready to show the microphone who was boss. The rest was history.
