Starting tonight, the performance space — Knitting Factory New York at Baker Falls — will ramp up with the first of many concerts to come... Sunflower Bean (below) headlines a bill with GIFT and Slow Fiction. 
Steve Gunn (and friends!) performs on Friday... and there's an all-ages matinee on Sunday featuring a handful of bands, including EVG favorite Jade Tourniquet (photo below by Stacie Joy)...
Other upcoming shows include cumgirl8 on July 28...
There are several bands — local, national and international — a week on the calendar now. Check it out here.
These select shows at Knitting Factory New York at Baker Falls are curated by Knitting Factory Talent Buyer Carson Ehlert with support from Senior Talent Buyer James Irvine. The duo is reprising their roles from Knitting Factory Brooklyn in Williamsburg, which closed last August.
As previously reported, East Village resident Nick Bodor, whose past and current establishments have included the Library bar, alt.coffee and the Cake Shop music venue, serves as the managing partner and creative director of Baker Falls.
In the weeks ahead, you can expect a coffee shop, all-day cafe, bar and community events at the two-level space between Sixth Street and Seventh Street.

ReplyDeleteThis is super exciting, more live music in the EV please! Modern English is there in September, talk about a blast from the past!
ReplyDeleteMrNiceGuy,
ReplyDeleteThanks. Meant to give them a shout-out too. Not sure what their setlist looks like... their debut album, Mesh & Lace, is quite good... and probably under-appreciated after the mega-success of "I Melt With You."
Wha???
ReplyDeleteHow they going to accommodate capacity for a show like that? This is still the Pyramid, right?
The press materials from Knitting Factory at Baker Falls listed the capacity at 298.
ReplyDeleteHmmm maybe a titsdickass show soon too. TDA forever
ReplyDeleteModern English is always touring, and visiting NY pretty often. I think Sony Hall might have been the venue on a couple of occasions, and I seem to recall one Merc Lounge gig too.
ReplyDeleteLSV and Marnie Stern is an exciting addition to the calendar.
$35 for Sunflower Bean was too much, to this avid concertgoer opinion.
ReplyDelete298 in the old Pyramid ground floor space? As someone who used to go there a lot, that number is about 100 high. It would be terrifying to be packed in there with that many; breathing would be by mutual consent.
ReplyDeleteNico lived on the 2nd floor in the '60s. Let's call it the Nico Lounge.
ReplyDeleteI'm with ya Bill @ 7:35am - Nico Lounge it is !
