Some of you might remember a post I put up here a few weeks back about since-closed venue called The Building (or simply Building). Apparently, it was largely considered a hip-hop club, but I remember attending some industrial-themed events there. As such, a poster named Alan T. recently unearthed an anecdote about the place on Facebook…
I did sound for Peter Missing of MISSING FOUNDATION there, and it wasn't going over with the glittering industry crowd or whatever. The owner/partner nearest to me said "Cut the mic!!" right in the middle of the show and I refused. Homes don't play that. So the dude reached over my mixer and cut the sound, cut off the show. Missing came up later and yelled "I will destroy you!!" because he thought I cut his mic. I loved him for that, ever since. Within a couple years the place was completely bulldozed, literally made into a parking lot...
Speaking of all things Missing Foundation, while Peter Missing has never not been up to something new, I’ve been hearing rumors of there being some re-releases of older MF albums going on (but have found nothing substantive online to support the notion). I know there’s a new project out by Missing 7 Hazard (Peter’s latest endeavor) featuring compelling song titles like “Frack in Your Pants,” “Missing Invasion” and “I Love New York” (I’m guessing it’s not a cover). Find out more about that here.
The instantly familiar Missing Foundation insignia, however, is now newly appearing not just around the facades of the East Village again, but currently in a more surprising place -– on a new selection of prints and t-shirts marketed by a company called ALIFE. Billing themselves as a “is New York-based, multi-tasking, multi-faceted lifestyle driven company,” ALIFE is partnering with Peter Missing for a selection of original prints (of the MF cocktail glass, see above as captured by newco.nyc) and some fetching t-shirts.

Here, meanwhile, is some vintage Missing Foundation.
