The Cameo is a new music venue in Williamsburg?

The Cameo

“Not much information is available yet, but the unfortunately named The Cameo “is a venue in the heart of Williamsburg that functions as a visual art gallery by day, and a music venue by night. A cross between Pianos and the Mercury Lounge, the Cameo is booking some of New York and Brooklyn’s most promising musical talent. With several bands per night, the rich sound and provocative wall art create a sensory experience not to be missed. Attached to N. 6th Street’s Lovin Cup Cafe, the building offers a prime destination spot. Catch a show in the back Cameo space, and enjoy a late night burger served up at the Lovin Cup.”

The space will be 150-capacity with 30-foot ceilings, and we’ve [Gothamist] heard some promising things about the sound and atmosphere. Hopefully it’ll be able to last on the sonically saturated stretch of the street (The Music Hall of Williamsburg and Public Assembly are nearby). Doesn’t look like the space will be ready until early ’09, so stay tuned…” [Gothamist]
