Funk nasty.

queens style!!!!!!!!!

biddi bo!

Bad enough I have to go to Brooklyn to see the shows I used to be able to see in Manhattan. Now, I'm going to have to go to Queens?

Can't wait for the Staten Island venues to start popping up.

^^^ yeah... getting to LIC is a real trek.

We don't want you in Queens, anyway, douche.

This looks super lame, even though I live in Queens. They need to open a venue in Astoria or Forest Hills, or an area that doesn't completely suck.

Of course a dick from Queens is named "Wembley" too funny

great. it was only a matter of time before hipsters started infiltrating queens. sigh.

whats a supper club? is this a restarant?

restaurant?

Queens keeps on fakin' it.

thats great, an alternative to bowery presents.

Could be good. I'm interested to see who they get. I have a gut feeling that Jesse Malin will play there a lot, which isn't thrilling to say the least.

are those residential units above? If so... they'll be closed within a month of opening.

Any money saved on the "Queens prices" will be lost when you are forced to take a cab home.

I live in Queens and would never consider walking to the train late night after a show in this part of LIC.

Haters wanna hate
Lovers wanna love
I don't even want
None of the above

I'm curious about safety. I live in LIC and this venue is across the street from the Queensbrige Ouses (PJ's) and I'm really not in the mood for the local hard-rocks getting the idea that it'd be fun to roll music fans on their way home.

You people act like this is 1980. Yeah, if you walk THROUGH the projects at 2 AM you do so at your own risk. But if you are leaving a venue in a mass of people to a subway stop that is one stop from midtown Manhattan, and a few blocks from gentrified condoville LIC, you'll be fine. I'd feel much safer there than by Market Hotel, at any rate. Just be cautious. Or move back to Omaha. Jeez...

"are those residential units above?"

No. According to http://queensbridgetheater.com/blog/2008/01/10/hello-world/ the owner of the building is the developer of the theater and he plans to rent the lofts for commercial use.

i live in LIC and it's not a bad area at all
do you go to shows alone all the time or something?
walking to the subway in this part of town with another person is fine, you must be paranoid.

i'm excited for this, now i don't have to travel far when i go to a show. Hopefully they will get some good shows.

Gangsta hot... I'm gonna make out with you hot chicks there.

-hot stud Nick

White people are so scared of black people.

But I guess you guys like Obama alright...

The Bridge! This is the place where stars are born! I bet the next Roxanne Shante, Big Daddy Kane and Kool G Rap will be SUPA SUPPA CLUBBIN!

"But I guess you guys like Obama alright..."

It's not as much liking Obama as it is HATING McCain.

what a bunch of winers!
OOh a new club is opening i MUST complain!
I have an idea, if you don't want to go somewhere because of where it's located DON'T GO!

i'm sure none of your hipster bands will be playing here anyway.

this is a great thing! woohoo

"do you go to shows alone all the time or something?

Even just one determined mugger working alone would just as soon mug a couple as he would a single person.

I got mugged by Titus Andronicus at McCarren Pool

I'm curious if this new venue will be stroller accessible.

"Even just one determined mugger working alone would just as soon mug a couple as he would a single person."

and guess what?
that can happen anywhere in any borough

the subway is not far at all from this spot
jeez do you ever leave the house?

american-born blacks are scared of foreign-born blacks.

"do you go to shows alone all the time or something?

and what is wrong with this??

Shaddup!!!

I'm just kidding. You are right.

Another music club (sigh).. how depressing.

And a train ride!!! (sigh) ...ughhh ...how depressing.

Will real New Yorkers please come back to New York! Please!

I would like to mug half of you just so that you will leave here and make a "cooler" scene somewhere else.

"do you go to shows alone all the time or something?

and what is wrong with this??"

absolutely nothing at all
but sometimes people are more leary of walking around in certain areas when they are alone.

"but sometimes people are more leary of walking around in certain areas when they are alone."

That's some good clarification, I wasn't aware that anyone ever felt that way, ever. Thanks for the update. One more thing - you clearly implied that you enjoy ridiculing people who attend shows by themselves. Don't try to go back on yourself now. You just sound like the owner of this venue or something.

Whelp...back to work in my home office in my luxury residence in Queensbridge. Really....some people are so paranoid and stupid to think that this area is in any way undesirable.

if you get mugged, you get a free drink next time you come.

(top shelf booze excluded)

"i live in LIC and it's not a bad area at all

i clearly implied nothing of the kind
read my post again and maybe you'll be able to figure it out this time
that statement was posted in the context of walking to the show alone. and i'm not trying to go back on anything.

i am not ridiculing anyone for going to shows alone, as i've done so myself.

What's wrong with going to shows by yourself?

Clearly he is choosing to read what he wants to in that post. I understood what you were saying.
people get so touchy
Noone is saying there is anything wrong with going to shows alone!

sheesh

One rather imagines that most of this site's commenters go to shows alone.

haha
Yeah no kidding considering the uproar about an innocuous comment, that had nothing at all to do with ridiculing people for going to shows alone.

I don't understand - this is called a supper club - but then the article says "The 5,000-square-foot club will run 21 hours a day - from 7 to 4 a.m."

what's wrong with going to shows alone?

Free admission to anyone attending by themselves.

hey great 12:56. I looked over the bands you are "writing about" your taste in music seems to be rather awful

why do people go to a show to hear music with their friends - and then they just spend the whole night talking to their friends. If you want to talk to your friends - just call them or go to a bar.

"One rather imagines that most of this site's commenters go to shows alone."

On rather imagines that Greg is an idiot.

a new venue in the city is not a bad thing.
(even if it is long island city)
most of you complaining probably don't live in new york anyway...and if you do, maybe you're in the wrong place.

that, and going to shows alone is awesome.

Hey "Amber": why are you assuming that 12:37 is male?

ooh who's ridiculing now?

The writing is rather male like in my opinion
But of course it was just a guess.

Amber = Nicole. Lame.

Woohoo LIC!

uh ok dude
whatever you say

oh sweet, i've always wanted to party with guidos now my dream can come true!

i always go to shows alone, pick up some indie slut and fuck the shit out of her.

i always go to shows alone, pick up some indie slut and fuck the shit out of her.

...and that's why i got these scabbies on my dick too.

oh no, i always pick belle & sebastian fans. they're clean.

That's good. Clean sluts are the best.

i doubt this place will be able to book any decent shows. it's pretty funny that everyone has been so quick to waste time complaining about it already though.

^^^^ Amen. What a productive morning. lol

you can go to the chicken joint down the street and fuck a REAL whore.

crabs as big as yer mom's ass.

white people arnt scared of black people just of people who live in projects.

I'd mug that

fuck yes. queen dwellers are immensly thankful and excited

fuck brooklyn. fuck mccarren park. fuck the lower east side. fuck market hotel (gently, gently, and with a french tickler). fuck "east williamsburg". and fuck queens while we're at it, so I don't have to repeat myself in October when you fucklickers infiltrate my borough and replace my corner chicken spot with a fucking faggy organic greek/asian fusion closet gay bar. fuck.

L.I.C = Losers In Condos

Whelp - it's been quite a few months here since this was announced. Has this venue opened? What the hell is going on? Their website was last updated in 2008 talking about some punk rock auction. That's great and all but I thought you were opening up a night/day club with supper, breakfast and dancing.

Anyone who actually lives in Queens or has any sort of "pride" for Queens is not from Hunters Point nor do they hang out there.
