Last night at the Knitting Factory, David Banner taught us that being a perfect gentleman means giving lots of enormous bear hugs. He also taught us about how the Government is bullshit (dude, obvi) and how to properly fashion our belts into whips (dubious). Mostly though, he tore the stage apart. Banner played with a live band, and his energy was undeniable as usual—there’s no question that he knows...

The venue largely known for its punk and indie rock scene is scheduled to move out of the trendy (and expensive) downtown NYC area and into a smaller spot located in the (equally as trendy but slightly cheaper) Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, NY. For a long stretch of time, the Knitting Factory was dead as [...]

Jared Hoffman has a vision for the Knitting Factory: smaller, leaner and outside of Manhattan. Far outside. The Knitting Factory's Jared Hoffman says the club's future is no longer in Manhattan. For 21 years the nightclub has been a symbol of downtown New York music, gaining an international reputation for an eclectic, finger-on-the-pulse aesthetic. At the Knitting Factory's original location on East...

On Thursday, the Hollywood music venue, Knitting Factory, will be at a morning hearing that could revoke the Conditional Use Permit that allows the space to operate. The hearing was prompted by a petition circulated by an employee of the neighboring Scientology building and signed by a total of 31 people, according to a Knitting Factory spokesman. The two complaints listed say that the venue is a...

It's near impossible to be the only one enjoying anything in New York. There's an exposing article devoted to every sublime sandwich shop housed in the back of a Vietnamese electronics store, and supposedly secret sales have lines two days before they open their doors. It's might be even tougher to be the only correspondent reporting back from a worthwhile cultural happening. Bands who couldn't fill...

WILLIAMSBURG — It was reported last month that the Knitting Factory would be moving into the old Luna Lounge space on Metropolitan Ave., but the Times brings word that they've finally been okayed by the community to make the move: "In TriBeCa the Knitting Factory has three performances spaces, the largest holding 400 people, but in Brooklyn it will have only one room, for 300 or fewer..."

Word has come in via The NY Times that the Knitting Factory will officially make the move to Brooklyn... and Boise ? Jared Hoffman, who took over the good ship Knit five years ago, announced that both the Idaho and a new Spokane, WA venue have already hung up signs -- something that Brooklyn may see soon as well, as the venue has just received the borough's approval. The Times reports they "won community...

Enjoy it while it lasts. Photo: Andrew Karcie According to a Times article, the Knitting Factory secured permission to move to the former Luna Lounge this week (ah, the irony — a Lower East Side institution moves to Brooklyn, only to be replaced by a Tribeca institution moving to Brooklyn). When the new one-room space opens, in four to nine months, it’ll be smaller than the current triplex — and bankrolled,...

Well, not all the Sluts are on vacation... Last Tuesday, I saw Norwegian Grammy award winner Sissy Wish at The Knitting Factory. After seeing her short, but riveting, performance at SXSW this year, I couldn't miss my chance to see her debut New York tour. Once again, Sissy did not disappoint, giving as commanding a performance as her album Beauties Never Die demands. With a sound perhaps better suited...

I am very aware of the Knitting Factory these days because The Mighty Handful have played there a bunch of times. Back in the 1980's when we were East Village dwellers we made frequent trips to the Houston Street Knitting Factory to hear John Zorn, Joel Forrester, the Microscopic Quintet, Jonathan Richman, and Zeena Parkins (pictured left). That's my version of the Knitting Factory. Yesterday my dad...
