Greenpoint's Club Exit has announced their closure after 15 years in business (via a sign on their door... and website). Owner Mariusz Kupiec told the Brooklyn Paper: “We’re just tired with the scene." That scene has become a rowdy one over the years, with regulars even admitting "they’ve come to expect a punch or two thrown by closing time every weekend." Recently those punches have, at times, even escalated into gunfire! Perhaps the next person to take over the space should turn it into a tea lounge or yoga studio. more ›

In their quest to take over New York, Bowery Presents is opening yet another venue! Ask just about anyone (and we have) and they'll say that the Bowery Ballroom is their favorite place to see and/or play music - so who better to open even more spaces than the creators of that one? more ›

been singing extremely off-key lately.) But now it seems like it's safer that we don't have a Bad Boy lifestyle - last night, at a party the former Puff Daddy had for a posthumous Biggie Smalls album, three people were shot and three other people were stabbed. Yup - the police found three men bleeding at a parking garage across from Club Exit, where the party was being held, and then a 911 call alerted them to the fact that three men were stabbed in the Club Exit's VIP lounge. It's unclear why the shootings occured, though the police did see a car with a bullet hole leaving the scene. And the stabbings seem to be motivated by a partygoer upset that he lost "a flashy bracelet." Ah, "flashy bracelet" - the third reason for club violence, after "Skank ho poured beer on my weave" and "What are you doing with my man/woman?" And P. Diddy was only at the club for fifteen minutes, none of them during the crimes (and neither was Shyne!). All six men are recovering at area hospitals.
