You should.
I will never understand people who come into a venue with a band,
pay a cover and then proceed to chatter on like they're in their living room. Especially at this one very intimate place (yinzers - Club Cafe) I have turned around and told people to be quiet. It's REALLY stupid in this particular case, as there are about 50 ookabillion other bars within literally a step or two where no one is going to care if you talk over the jukebox. The only instance I can think of when conversation is acceptable is a cover band/party band at a huge bar and everyone's dancing.
In the words of one of my favorite facebook groups, "Shut the f^&% up, the band is playing."
