If you are a fan of
jazz or cool alternative music, then you have probably been to this
small, legendary club. If you dig Ricky Martin, J Lo or Britney Spears
then you probably shouldn't even bother (nor should you be reading
this page). Filled with dudes with greasy hair, polyester, old Carhart
jackets and some musical sensibility, Knitting Factory has been hosting
intimate rock and jazz shows for years at around $10 a pop. There
are actually two stages (one main, and another even smaller stage
upstairs) that host some bands people have heard of, and others that
people can only hope to discover. Unfortunately the prices on alcohol
are at your typical concert-going levels, but a cool basement space
affords the tongue-studded youngster in you some couches on which
to chill after or before the show. All in all, Knitting Factory is
a great place to see any kind of show in a much more comfortable atmosphere
than Roseland or even Irving Plaza. Go ahead, be daring, take a chance,
it's only $10 to witness what might be your new favorite band. [MF] |
