Boston Nightclub News
House of Blues Opening on Lansdowne Street
Thank you!
House of Blues is back. Woo Hoo ?
Well just as the nightlife community saw The
Lyons Group close the doors of the last big room in Boston ( Sorry Roxy ) we
are left with a venue that couldn’t make a go of it in Cambridge. Lansdowne
suddenly has all the makings of a true tourist trap; Patrick is there still room
for a Planet Hollywood?
That leaves the nightlife community with less is
more?
More niche
locations that unfortunately are beginning to look and feel more and more like
the same niche…
Some venues
have surfaced – we are all thirsty for more though; Beehive, Revolution, Lobby,
and the handful of 28 Degree and Match clones are great but where is the next
world class and legendary venue? The fact that we basically close at 2am and
don’t allow the 18 – 20 culture to factor into the nightscape is bad enough;
Avalon closing hurt the perception on Boston as a world class destination for
nightlife.
We can all
look forward to Live Nation giving us the same they roll out at the other dozen
or so HOB locations – and here we were thinking that Gates had a
monopoly…whatever the name, Clear Channel – Live Nation – the grip they have
around our culture is no longer tolerable – when does too much control finally
begin to feel like too much control for all of us?
On the upside;
with a 2500 seat or so venue Live Nation will get acts to perform in Boston that
may not have had a venue to play prior to the re-up of HOB.
The Lyons
group will focus on opening its restaurant under the bleachers at Fenway Park
slated for the coming season. -
