"Bowery Presents" In The Spotlight
People have been talking about the upcoming non-ClearChannel "Bowery Presents" LCD Soundsystem show at The Nokia Theater. "Bowery Presents" has been strictly Webster Hall until now.
Last night and tonight the Bowery Presents The New Pornographers with Neko Case at Webster Hall.

Kathryn pointed out this blurb from the newly redesigned Bowery Presents website: "We began in August of 2004 by bringing Sonic Youth to Webster Hall. As an independent promoter, we will continue to bring your favorite bands to larger venues in the New York metropolitan area, such as Webster Hall, Nokia Theatre, Town Hall, Beacon Theater and many more to come, and make sure of the quality of your experience."

Last year the NY Press wrote a good article about Webster Hall & Bowery Presents: "My worries were recently calmed by the unlikeliest source: the Bowery Presents, a new promotion company formed by the people who run Bowery Ballroom and Mercury Lounge. I'm hesitant to praise either of these downtown music clubs—notoriously elusive, often unfriendly, always unhelpful—but it's possible that Bowery Presents may actually undermine the citywide control that Clear Channel seeks."

This week the Village Voice congratulated (and ridiculed) Webster Hall (Bowery Presents) for what the NY Press predicted.

Can anyone at last night's New Porno's show tell me what time Destroyer came on? I'd likes to know what time to get to Webster Hall....

hey gopster, sorry about the tall people. it's always a crapshoot at a show...plus there's that barrier between the front row and the stage, so you can never get as close as you'd like.
the set times last night were: 8:30 immaculate machine, 9:30 destroyer, 10:30 new pornographers. and the new pornographers ran until just after midnight since they did two (TWO!) encores.

goosh i hope bowerypresents goes full time with Nokia Theatre (AEG)
Webster Hall sucks!
about as much as Clear Channel does..
Nokia is already taking much of the biz away from the Beacon.. probably will do the same with Webster from time to time...
