Terrible News For Local Music Fans

6PM ON 21/10/2008
BY Matthew Lawrence

Word on the street Facebook is The Living Room’s closing after thirty-four years in various locations throughout the city.  No word on what’s happening with the remainder of the shows that were booked there.  (Sorry, Toadies fans!)

In a Myspace blog, Aaron Jaehnig and Gregory Rourke explain:

The current staff of The Living Room has taken an enormous amount of pride and put a lot of hard work into keeping [original owner] Randy [Hein]’s dream alive. It is with heavy hearts and for reasons outside of our control that we will be unable to continue hosting shows at The Living Room. We sincerely apologize to any bands with shows booked that will not be able to take place. Please look for further announcements about shows that are being moved to other venues. We would also like to thank every single person that ever performed, drank, fought, danced, puked, sang along, worked or dared to dream within the walls of that club, or the two locations that preceded it.

On the bright side, I guess, the Century Lounge is re-open.  I was never a huge fan of the place, although I did see a kick-ass Raveonettes show there once.  Unfortunately, the calendar on their website doesn’t look very promising, though.
