Rally for recording artists Knitting Factory
A lot of musicians are upset with the famous New York club for not paying the artists, refusing to return master tapes and destroying cd's. They used to be so great.
  • We have one here in southern California, too. There's a reason we call it "the shitting factory." Still seen some good shows there, though. Andy Prieboy, Snog, Laibach, Edward Ka-Spel...good times.
  • I notice that John Zorn, who is quoted amongst the disgruntled, is still gigging there on New Years Eve. Get mad, get paid.
  • Hmmm.... well it looks like they settled their differences... As of today, December 15th, 2 pm, the boycott of the Knitting Factory is OFF. The Knitting Factory and takeittothebridge.com have just reached a settlement on our dispute. Watch this site for more details. Thank you all for your support, time and energy; and we'll let you know more when the details are finalized.
  • Ah... the power of Monkeyfilter :)
