This one goes all the way back to 2016, but some of you might remember a short series of posts, back then, when I was trying to verify the existence of a short-lived club under Bond Street in NoHo called ‘Downtown.’ Rumors abounded Joey Ramone had a hand in it and that bands like The Lunachicks, White Zombie, Cycle Sluts from Hell, Cronos and Celtic Frost had played there. I remember Killing Joke being slated to play there, but the club closed shop before the gig in question could ever occur.
In any case, here we are in 2025 and – presuming it’s legit – our friend Michael W (whom you might remember from this post) posted the gig poster below, affirming that both the Lunachicks did indeed play there, and that it was indeed at 666 Broadway.
In later years, the space Downtown occupied turned into part of the whole “fitness corridor” plague which I lamented here, although I believe it is currently back to being empty and dormant.
