looking for recommendations

[luddite]

I have 2 friends from Germany coming into town and was looking for recommendations for nightlife. They are not into dance, electronica or DJ style clubs/music. Are there any low key spots to hear live music? Other suggestions for places "off the standard tourist circuit?"

Hello, you can try Alternativa Teatral it doesn't only have mainstream theater, it also shows indie productions, off theater and other events like live bands. You can filter your choices by category and price range. It's a cool site for alternative nightlife.

Niceto for live bands.....

It is also good to check shows in La trastienda in san telmo.

All you need to know.....

LA BOMBA DE TIEMPO
Centro Konex (Sarmiento 3131)

Mondays, starting at 8pm (get there early to wait in line and get in before they start). Brazilian style percussion, with about 10-15 band members playing various drums, etc. at once.

Great vibe, great energy, great music. HOWEVER, it's not low key. But I'm sure it's an experience they most likely haven't had before.
