Wow, Jenn, yer getting old like me.
It was Katina's (no "r"). Saw a lot of good bands there, too bad for the Umass crowd it's gone!

I used to go to hardcore shows in a huge gym in Auburn. Unfortunately I can't remember the name. It definately had the capacity you're looking for.

argh! I guess Auburn is around 50 minutes from Holyoke so maybe it's not ideal.

Googled western mass hardcore and found this location. no idea on capacity.

Cabot Street Pub WMHC
66 Cabot St. Chicopee MA 01013

You might also want to check the Boston Pheonix. I think they list western, ma venues
