Lengthy article in today's New York Times about the demise (and resuscitation) of First Avenue. The quote in the last paragraph is an interesting public statement for a mayor to make. For those who dislike the free registration thing, I copy and paste--thusly: MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 12 - The notice posted in front of the United States Bankruptcy Court here on Friday seemed to promise a particularly dreary proceeding. "Expedited hearing on motion of trustee for approval of settlement and authorizing trustee to sell certain property free and clear of liens," it read. Advertisement But on the other side of the swinging courtroom doors, it was apparent that the "certain property" was not dreary at all, but part of the bedrock of pop-music history: First Avenue, a legendary club, where both Prince and the Replacements first roared into view. Housed in a former bus depot, the club was shuttered this month after years of squabbling between its principal owners, Allen Fingerhut, an art gallery owner, and his childhood friend and former business manager, Byron Frank. The conflicts that led to this moment were banal, if complicated. Mr. Frank bought the building with some business associates four years ago. During that time, First Avenue struggled against larger trends in the music business and increased local competition, losing hundreds of thousands of dollars along the way. At the beginning of the summer, Mr. Fingerhut, the owner of the club and of its liquor license - the building and the club were owned by different entities - removed the two men who were widely believed to have made it the most important rock venue in town: Stephen McClellan, who booked the bands, and Jack Meyers, who managed the business. The move did not go over well with longtime First Avenue fans. Business continued to deteriorate, and Mr. Fingerhut began to bicker with Mr. Frank. "It became like the Arafat story: was it dead or not?" said Martin Keller, a local scenester. Mr. Fingerhut ran into money problems and after a series of failed negotiations was served with an eviction notice by Mr. Frank. There were several lawsuits and on Nov. 2, First Avenue closed. The tug-of-war was as much about the club's legacy as it was about its future. Who would "own" the memories: The first time U2 came to the bar and confronted a show-me crowd with a performance that knocked them down hard? Or the night that Prince and a few buddies sauntered into the Seventh Street Entry, a smaller bar within the club, and played straight-up blues for an hour? Or when, during a Replacements concert, the Scandinavian-inflected crowd changed a chorus, "We are the sons of nowhere," to a shouted, "We are the sons of Norway"? Who would take credit - or blame - for all the bad coke, bloody noses, vomit and bliss, not to mention the ghosts, like the girl who committed suicide in stall five in the women's room? "There were so many shows with so many transcendental memories, both the good and horrible stuff that happened," said Slim Dunlap, who worked at First Avenue as a janitor and later as a member of the Replacements. "I'd be there cleaning the place eight hours a day and then get plastered all night. I always worried about the place because you knew it hung by a thread, but they did hang in somehow." When it closed, though, the diehards had little to comfort them but a morose tick-tock of what had been lost, from opening night with Joe Cocker in 1970 with dozens of people onstage to the club's lionization in Prince's 1984 movie "Purple Rain." Mayor R. T. Rybak, who once stage dived at First Avenue during a "Rock the Vote" event, compared its importance to that of the Guthrie Theater or the Minneapolis Institute of Art. "Like those other institutions, it shows that Minneapolis is at its best when it doesn't try to imitate anybody else," Mayor Rybak said, sitting at the Grand Bakery in south Minneapolis. There are a few rock clubs in the country with the cultural weight and history of First Avenue: CBGB in Manhattan, Maxwell's in Hoboken, N.J., the Metro in Chicago and the 9:30 Club in Washington come to mind. But there are very few that can lay claim to launching such a diverse wave of indigenous music. It wasn't just Prince who broke in here, but also the Time featuring Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, not just the Replacements, but H|sker D| and Soul Asylum. There was a time in the 1980's when First Avenue made a noise big enough to shake the whole country. But as radio conglomerated and curdled, and live music became a dicey, increasingly competitive business, people stopped going to clubs three or four times a week. Empty nights at First Avenue became desperate ones, and Mr. Fingerhut was behind on insurance, taxes and the rent. Mr. Frank said he had offered to lend Mr. Fingerhut money, but was turned down. But by Mr. Fingerhut's account and according to a document sent by his lawyer, Mr. Frank's final offer was instead a push for complete capitulation that would have left Mr. Fingerhut out of the club and saddled with debts. Advertisement Mr. Fingerhut took the club into bankruptcy on Nov. 2. "I got beat out of my bar fair and square, but I don't want to be attacked anymore," he said. "How can I be the bad guy in all of this? I lost $800,000 and half my hearing keeping this place going as long as I did." Regardless of who did what to whom - bar fights are rarely pretty - 130 employees ended up out of work and bands with scheduled gigs had to scramble. Music fans in the Twin Cities area and across the nation began to worry that First Avenue would never return. Even when word circulated that Mr. Frank had approached Mr. McClellan and Mr. Meyers about running the club again, some here worried that he would sell the building. "I was born here and raised here," Mr. Frank said, sitting in the office of his lawyer. "I raised my kids here as well, and they would kill me if that place doesn't stay a music room. This has been a music room for 30 years. What Steve McClellan has accomplished is mind-boggling and deserves to continue." And it seems it will. In that courtroom high above the city on Friday, a simple agreement was reached: Mr. Frank, along with Mr. McClellan, Mr. Meyers and a trust made up of members of the Fingerhut family - but not Mr. Fingerhut - would be allowed to buy the First Avenue business, lock, stock and punk rock, for $100,220. Judge Robert J. Kressel was presiding, and he not only approved the offer, with a few minor tweaks, but waived the traditional stay of 10 days, because, as he noted, "I gather there is some urgency to the situation." For Minneapolis rock fans, there certainly is. Mr. McClellan arrived at the court after the proceedings were completed and seemed anxious to get to work. But he remained concerned about the prospects for a business that has had its share of trouble no matter who was running it. "Did we get the keys?" he asked his lawyer. Not quite. But later that day, the group headed by Mr. Frank, which called itself F-Troop, received the keys, the history and the challenge of making the club work in a complicated age. The Ave., as it is locally known, will very likely be open on Friday night, featuring Gwar, a band whose bloody mayhem could serve as a neat metaphor for the contretemps that closed the club. For some, like Dan Murphy, a guitarist for Soul Asylum, the reopening cannot come soon enough. "When I was 19 and our band was still called Loud Fast Rules, they let us open for the Ramones in the main room," he said. "I figured whatever happened after that was going to be cake." But Billy Batson, the singer in the Mighty Mofos and the fearless sound man for the Seventh Street Entry, said it will not be a cakewalk. "It ain't punk rockers anymore," he said of the audience. "It's a finicky little bunch of sheep that will go to any club they think is hot." Mayor Rybak has promised to reprise his stage dive on opening night. The club, he said, still has some advantages over other, shinier places in town, although he stressed that the people who wept when it closed needed to show up and spend some money. "There is something that happens in that room," he said. "At a certain time in the night, it hits a tipping point, like a kind of gravity, that makes people do insane things." ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 15 Nov 2004 20:37:53 +1300 From: James Dignan Subject: Re: fegmaniax-digest V13 #327 > Today's Subjects: > ----------------- > Robyn at Southpaw-Brooklyn Sat.

Under the influence of alcohol he fell from the first floor landing, hitting his head on the floor some 15ft below. Peter/Sleazy who was in the front room heard the noise, came out investigate and found him unconscious, though still breathing. Balance was rushed to hospital, where his condition deteriorated, and he died soon after, without ever regaining consciousness. There is no suggestion that this event was in any way deliberate, in fact, anything other than a tragic accident. Unusually, Balance had been cheerful during the day, and was looking forward to seeing Ian at the weekend, and working on new recordings this week. [Jhonn Balance was the leader of Coil. I'm not especially familiar with Coil, but I did hear some interesting stuff by this group years ago, circa Horse Rotorvator. And at least they didn't totally suck like Skinny Puppy. -- Eb] ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 15 Nov 2004 12:13:55 -0800 (PST) From: Benjamin Lukoff Subject: RE: Sadies (official poorly written review) On Mon, 15 Nov 2004, Bachman, Michael wrote: > >Otherwise, fine playing and nice atmosphere.

I bet they'd really like to be able to record an all-instrumental album if they could. They kick ass as Neko Case's backing band on "The Tigers Have Spoken."

Yes, I believe the story I read was that he jumped into a recording session because they needed a bassist, so he took the righty bass that was there, I think turned upside down, and played really well. > Bastards.

Fender is better than most I guess about making lefty versions, though it does piss me off that it's only the Mexican ones. Yamaha is good about that, but my first bass was the cheapest lefty Yamaha, and it really sucks to play compared to the Fender. - -Ken ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V13 #328 ********************************
