Bowery Ballroom

The auction will benefit 9:30 Club, Bowery Ballroom, EXIT/IN, First Avenue, The Independent, Mohawk, The Metro, Neumos, Tipitina's, and The Troubador

Bowery Ballroom, United Palace, Town Hall, Baby's All Right, Elsewhere, City Winery, Le Poisson Rouge, Saint Vitus, Joe's Pub and Union Pool are just a few of the NYC venues part of NYIVA which seeks aid for independent venues that have been closed during COVID-19.

”Independent venues exist in every state across the country; they were the first to be closed, they will be the last to open,” a statement from the National Independent Venue Association reads.

Like musicians and bands, who are suffering financially while their tours get cancelled, venue staff from bartenders, bouncers, sound technicians and beyond are also going without paychecks while the places they work are closed.

Carnegie Hall, Brooklyn Bowl, Town Hall, Public Records, The Shed, House of Yes, Knockdown Center, and Basement are among the venues temporarily shuttering to help stop the spread of coronavirus.

It was Cave In's first NYC show since Caleb Scofield passed away (with Converge's Nate Newton in his place), and Caleb's spirit was felt all night...

Two of NYC’s finest rising indie rock bands, Active Bird Community and Wild Pink, teamed for a hometown show at Bowery Ballroom this past Saturday...

Openers at Bowery were the The Type O Negative related project Silvertomb, and Vessel of Light (members of Ancient VVisdom and Hades) who were playing their first-ever live show. Speaking of firsts, these new shows will be the first time Sick of It All and LOA share a stage.

Online ticketing service Ticketfly is still down, more than 24 hours since announcing they were the "target of a cyber incident." It's staying down as they investigate and "don’t have a specific timeline to share right now. We deeply regret the inconvenience caused by this incident and are working around the clock to resolve the issue and get all Ticketfly systems back up and running."

Both acts channel a different type of country music, and both sounded excellent at Bowery Ballroom on Wednesday (4/11).
