The team behind Brooklyn venue Baby's All Right is opening a new music venue at New York's historic Pyramid Club. Night Club 101 will officially open in the East Village early next year, with a preview club night in partnership with Pitchfork on Thursday, December 19. The event is presented by AdHoc and will feature sets from RP Boo, Dazegxd b2b Intimacy Simulator, Anysia Kym, DJ Ess, New York, Alphonse Pierre and Mano. Tickets are available here. Doors open at 9:00pm. EST and the show starts at 10 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
Night Club 101—named after its 101 A Avenue address—will host live performances and DJ sets in a variety of genres, featuring indie-rock, jazz, electronic and experimental artists. The calendar will also include art performances, themed dance nights, interdisciplinary events, community-focused events and more.
Billy Jones and Tom Moore, in association with Knitting Factory Entertainment, headline the new venue, following the success of Baby's All Right and former venues Elvis Guesthouse and the Dance. Jones and Moore intend to honor the rich history of the Pyramid Club, which has been a crucial space for New York's underground art, fashion and queer scenes for decades. Madonna, RuPaul, ANOHNI and countless other artists played early sets at the club.
Of the new venture, Jones said in press materials: “This venue has so much history and we're excited to pay homage to its incredible heritage of course. But at the same time, we always want to promote conversation—creating a space that feels alive, surprising, and refreshingly open to the experimental play that makes New York, New York, and the reason I moved here 23 years ago. “
