Contempt moves to a BRAND NEW HOME!
M1-5 was a great venue, right? So why leave?!
Well, in our last years at Remote, the Goth Lounge
on the upper level took on a wonderful life of its own.
We've sincerely missed being able to offer more than one sound environment since
our move to M1-5.
So while we enjoyed our stay there, we knew from the beginning that it was not
ultimately what we were looking for in a long-term home.
We're thrilled to announce that we've finally found a venue that fits the
bill…and you're gonna love it!
Our inaugural event in the new space will be:
Friday, May 16th 2008
@ BLVD
199 Bowery (at Spring St., just north of Delancey) NYC
...and every THIRD FRIDAY OF THE MONTH thereafter...
BLVD is a beautiful, versatile space that will feature the usual
pulsing main dance floor with DJ SUBVERT at the helm as well as the RETURN OF
OUR GOTH LOUNGE featuring the dark stylings of DJ FRANKIE TEARDROP. And the
icing on the cake? The goth lounge will have a dancefloor, too! So all of you
who loved the upstairs room at Remote but wished you had room to dance...your
prayers have been answered!
There's so much more to say about this awesome new place, but there's plenty of
time for details. For now, all you need to know is...
CONTEMPT IS BACK...AND WE'RE BIGGER AND BETTER THAN EVER!!!!
Mark your calendars for our summer dates NOW,
cuz you won't want to miss a beat:

FOUR ROOMS of…bands...art...giveaways...
…and all the swirly and stompy goodness you've come to expect from NYC's
