After The Jump To Present Last Ever Show At KF Tribeca

ATJ, the NYC blogger collective, is set to help present the final show at the legendary, 3 level, Knitting Factory space in Tribeca. This last hurrah just happens to also be New Year's Eve. After the Knitting Factory space was put on the market and sold into condos, the decision was made to move the cutting edge concert space to the smaller scaled Luna Lounge in Williamsburg. The New York Times interviewed owner Jared Hoffman last month about the plans. The final multi level party is sure to be a fabulous event, the kind only fitting for a spot that many NYers (and not so NYers) hold in their hearts & where many amazing acts got their start. Stay tuned for details!
