All That Jazz

tickets are on sale for Sonic Youth at Webster Hall on 2/16.

20th anniversary for the Knitting factory tickets are on sale. Sounds kind of cool but it is weird that it is at Town Hall.

"Concert promoter Michael Dorf will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the club he brought to fame, the Knitting Factory, with an all-star benefit at New York’s Town Hall on March 1. The multi-band event will raise money for John Zorn’s artist’s womb, The Stone, and features a number of the Knitting Factory’s most famous alumni. Artists scheduled to appear include Zorn, Lou Reed, Laurie Anderson, MMW, Joe Lovano, Marc Ribot, Lee Ranaldo, Don Byron, and Mike Doughty, the latter of whom once worked the club’s door. The Knitting Factory, which currently has locations in New York and Los Angeles, helped define New York’s downtown music scene and now hosts an eclectic mix of music."
