Wildhearts – Brooklyn 19th Oct – Change of Venue
By Kris | October 13, 2007
The Wildhearts gig at the Hook in Brooklyn on Friday 19th October has had to be moved to another venue (Club Exit) due to the original venue (The Hook) unexpectedly closing. The full info from the promoter is below:
Hey guys – this is for everybody who bought tickets to the Wildhearts gig at the Hook. If you know anybody else who was planning on coming to this show, we HIGHLY recommend forwarding this along.
SO. Ha. We’re in a little bit of a tight spot. We’d booked this phenomenal show at the Hook, where we’ve held so many ridiculously awesome shows in the past, and then the Hook CLOSED. We still want to have the show, obviously, so we’ve simply moved it to Club Exit. It’s still in Brooklyn, right off the G in Greenpoint, not terribly difficult to get to and still fairly awesome. The Wildhearts are coming all the way from ENGLAND; there was no way we were cancelling this gig. We’re still bringing along all the openers – Generals & Majors, Children of the Unicorn, the Matt Truman Ego Trip, et al. We’d never let you guys down.
So let everybody you know in on this – Wildhearts at Club Exit on Friday the 19th – and then join us for a second night with Ginger and the boys aboard the Temptress on Saturday.
Address for Club Exit is
Club Exit
149 Greenpoint Ave
(between McGuinness and Manhattan Aves)
Brooklyn, NY 11222
