Keep The Vibe Alive. Support Your Local Music Scene.
First it was Trocaderos. Closed without notice. Last night there was a posting on Twitter that the 400 Bar is closed. Now I’m reading the Pioneer Press and it says that Denny Hecker – you know the car guy with $767 million in DEBT, has connections to The Myth.
It’s complex but according to the Pioneer Press, Hecker owns a company called Myth Financial. In 2007 Myth Financial loaned the Myth Nightclub’s owner $250,000. He, the Myth Nightclub owner, used a house he owns in Scottsdale Arizona as collateral. Coincidentally Hecker also sold him that house. The Pioneer Press article reports that since the loan the owner of the Myth Nightclub has borrowed money elsewhere to pay off the Hecker loan.
Let’s hope so!
The Twin Cities is a great music community – even in a time when the national music community is trying to reinvent itself. We need to support our music venues to keep the vibe alive – especially during a tough economic time! The last thing we need is for The Myth Nightclub to get tangled up in Hecker’s bankruptcy proceedings.
Taste of MN is going on this weekend, with great rock music acts. I’ll be there tonight.
How about the all ages School of Rock All Star Tour which will be in St. Paul July 19 at O’Gara’s Garage?
LIL WYTE is headlining at The Rock on August 1st. (18+ show).
This year marks the 40th Anniversary of Woodstock and there are at least two Tribute Concerts that I know of. Plan to attend one of them…or both.
