Support music, support musicians, support clubs, there's till life out there. Has everyone been going out to support the clubs and musicians?Īll I'm saying is yes, things are different, but that's how life goes, sorry. There's a lot of mediocrity but there's also a lot of great music and musicians who are still slugging it out.

before Covid, did all you guys go out regularly? Either to dance clubs or to live music clubs? There are a ton of live music clubs in the East Village and LES and many of them for FREE - Rockwood Stage 1, Parkside, Otto's, Nublu, the Bowery Electric's Map Room and many, many others, and other music clubs that charge. But, to all the people bemoaning the end of the East Village spirit, etc. Hey, Bill Graham decided to close the Fillmore East in 1971, he created it, he ended it.
I started a live music policy at one of his other bars. I knew an owner of the Pyramid 40 years ago, he didn't care about the club, he was only interested in making money. One, the owners probably don't care about the heritage of the club or the East Village or the club or anything, they probably only owned it to make money off it. Just a few quick comments that I know I'm going to get a lot of flak for. So it is a point of extinction in NYC nightlife for the place to disappear. In the last 20 years Pyramid could somewhat successfully pretend to be the edgy underground place on the Avenue, but it was mostly achieved by dint of the brand name and the lack of any updating to the interior, and that pretense was all the Avenue really had left.
Still, the place was an important anchor and icon for the EV and its early heritage of bands and especially the drag scene contribution are rather historic and really the mark of what made NYC a unique place for creativity. It felt like just an extension of your own apartment where you could unselfconsciously lounge and get altered or dance to rarely heard banging vibes among a core group of veteran misfits and in-the-know visitors from around the world. The only real party that achieved the original vibe was the Saturday Defcon industrial party in the basement. The crowds on the main floor were mostly the same as every other bar on the Avenue, well-adjusted consumer culture kids needing a place to act out. The parties since 2000 were running on the fumes of the heyday 1980’s to late ‘90’s. After that give credit to Maria and Quirino, real neighborhood folks, for maintaining the faux-dive bar effect so many other places on the Ave. Like everyplace else in the EV, Pyramid had run its course as an edgy, semi-underground scene by the late ‘90’s.
