“I’ll walk you through it, it’s kind of funny. You know when you pass by a grocery store and there’s this grate that goes into the floor and then there’s this narrow metal staircase that goes down into the basement where they have storage and stuff? It’s like that. First thing we had to do was fit the staircase with these wooden 2 x 4s so people wouldn’t completely die when they went down. So we fixed the staircase, and we built a soundproofing wall in between the space and the street, which was totally remarkable. You couldn’t hear anything from the street–we had a subwoofer going off, and Knyfe Hyts and Sleigh Bells were super loud. I was so happy. It totally dampened the sound and that’s like two layers of 2 x 4’s with insulation in the middle. We cleared everything out of his basement. There’s no stage. In the back we put soundproofing blankets on the door and the door to the bar area. In the back there’s a bar. We built a bathroom in the back so everything’s contained to one floor. We can fit about 125 people comfortably.” [Greg Finch to the Villge Voice]
