Grand Opening

I just got an fb message for an invite to the grand opening on Dec. 10th. ummm on the flyer its says.... "National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (The EMMYS)" .... with no explanation of why or how the EMMYS are related to this....

the lineup sounds like a bunch of random non edm generic DJs..

There was a party with Colette, Heather and Sleepy & Boo this past friday. It looks like there will be more of these in the future. NYC needed a new venue

I went to that. After almost not being let in because it was a "private party" (not true), I discovered the worst-sounding club I had ever been in, in any city. It's basically a giant brick warehouse with 30 foot walls, and you get no bass whatsoever unless you're sitting down. I will never go back for any DJ.

Ah, so it's basically the same sound as when it was Sol, then.

Oh well. Let's see how everything plays out in the next weeks, they had an open call on Monday and Tuesday, so they're still staffing and working out the kinks, I'm sure.

I just hope they've installed the new sound system at Amnesia by now.

We were kind of more lending a hand to Rob Rewind on this party...the real sound system wasnt in yet and the space wasn't quite finished.

I think it'll be great if they put a real quality sound system in there since its a great space, and a nice big, open room. It has a lot of potential for that.

So let's see what shakes out sound wise.

Hi Chaska!

Hi Chaska!

A better system would be nice. Someone sent me a vid they took from the party and it wasn't good. I heard they moved the bar too for more space. Is that permanent because that would be good?

Yes they moved the bar, its not in the middle, so thats much better.

The sound system they had when we played there was the old Sol sound system, with more subs.

The DJ booth is really high up through - you cant really see the DJ unless you're standing all the way in the back of the room. That's a little bit of a bummer because I feel like the DJ needs to connect with the crowd.

I dunno, I hope they improve some of these things.

Good I didn't go, better to wait for the changes. Yeah, I like seeing DJs do their thing. It sounds a lot like Arena to me with the set up and the meh system.

Thanks for your plus one on my post Dozer....

Now guys I�m not one to moan and whine but if we don�t make a stink about this now (I�m sure management reads this forum) things will not start off correctly.

Why would anyone want to go to a club that closes at 4 Am... It�s just not how things work in Manhattan. Most people I know (I know a lot of people I used to be a big time promoter ) would never step foot in the place unless they stayed open till at leas 6 am.

People... feel free to chime in ...

maybe they dont want to attract that certain type of afterhours crowd?
i mean a few years ago that whole area was soooo hot and crawling with cops shutting venue's down and busting balls

they might just want to have a few dj's come in, set up a few tables and make the best of it till 4am to aviod the nypd and the city

Establishments must stop serving at 4AM by law.

Cielo closes at 4, and they definitely make things work in Manhattan.
Some venues obviously close later, but they rely on cover revenue and basic beverages to hold them up in revenue since liquor can't be served until early morning.

the big room nyc nightlife has been kinda dead for the past few years imo....yea pacha brings in alot of big talent, but the club itself is nothing special i dont care how many awards it won, its the same layout as sf except for pachita which is a good room imo

alot of more smaller and underground parties seem to be better these days (cielo,love,sullivan room,resolute parties etc etc)

with the state of the city and how it feels towards nightlife plus the economy i dont really forsee a big change in the nyc big clubs nightlife anytime soon

So what's the deal with this place? It's been a year now and I haven't heard a thing and now suddenly they have Gary Beck coming on the 20th

Posted by Neonbeats on Jan-26-2011 00:20:

Nice big space. Questionable sound. Generic club though and I think this is just a one-off booking by the promoter. I wouldnt get excited.
