Re: East coast loop-friendly venues?



Matt the Stone seems tighter than Fort Knox so to speak.  It seems to be an extension of where Tonic had been going meaning a monthly rotational curator and about the only way to connect was to go there and 'hang' as they say which is something that frustrates me with a lot of the 'scene' here when time is so limited at least for me.

There is also a similiar place in Brooklyn where I am that's called Issue Project Room.  They atleast provide their contacts though it too is rather tight though a couple on this list have played there so perhaps they can reflect to you.

Are you playing the Red Room I think it's called in Baltimore?  We tried to get Chinapainting there, it's supposed to be the cat's meow down there.

If you haven't checked out places in Williamsburg (Brooklyn) there are a few.  One that is a neat place, open to a lot of diff stuff but unfortunately doesn't do well with walk in traffic is a place called the Stain.  Zebulon is also good but harder to get in.

More if you need but rushing for now.

Luck with it all...

Just following up on this moribund thread - Does anyone happen to know
who is curating at The Stone (NYC) in July? I'd hate to find out after
the fact that it's someone I know.

In other news, my tour now has a simple little skeleton. I'm in
Columbus, OH on 7.16 and Baltimore, MD on 7.18. I then have 10 days to
get from Baltimore to Boston, so it's looking like I'm going to be
focusing pretty heavily on the east coast.

Any loop-friendly/experimental/space-music/*very* abstract ambient
venues or performance opportunities in that area would be much
appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion - I'd love to play The Stone, but the last I
knew, they didn't accept booking requests. I think you have to know
the person who is curating that particular month. It's an odd system -
even if I happen to know the person, I wouldn't know that they're
curating, and they wouldn't necessarily know that I'm planning to be
in NYC.

On the other hand, if they did accept submissions, the scale of them
would probably be maddening.
