Sunset Strip's Key Club to Close
Bummer! As much as Sunset blows for trying to go out (parking, ugh!) - and really, why would any of us want to?
But even still, this was a really cool club!Quietly on Sunday night, West Hollywood's Key Club locked its doors. The venue previously had cleared its December calendar, having told bookers and artists to take their shows elsewhere, reports the LA Times.
After the shuttering of Hollywood''s Knitting Factory in October, the closure of the Key Club would seem to raise questions
about the strength of the live-music market in Hollywood and on the Sunset
Strip, but Key Club President Keith Pressman stresses that the move is for the
short-term.
"As far as everyone is concerned we're dead and buried, but
this is just a temporary thing," he said.
He said the club has closed to
make way for a new partner and renovations. It could be operating at full capacity again as early
as February.
Yet even if the Key Club, which opened in 1996 as Billboard
Live, is able to bounce back, other venues continue to struggle -- most owners
and promoters say the downturn is largely because of the economic climate, but
increased competition on the nightlife scene is also a factor.
