How'd I miss this? My thanks to you and those who scour for such aural delights.
ReplyDeleteOh, two other items. Congratulations Rob! (on the hundred grand hits). I also meant to thank Will Rigby for his contributions to this blog a little while ago. I sincerely hope he drops back in. There's nothing like the real deal!
My thanks again for the new Letch, Rob. Here's to two hundred thousand hits!

JUST when I thought no one would leave another comment, you come along and restore my faith!
DeleteThanks for the thanks, Oxy.
Like the Cat's Cradle, this is another venue that's moved around a bit over the years.... I can say neither exterior nor interior were looking like that around 1985.... It was a basement space at the time. http://www.flickr.com/photos/rock_creek/3445082168/
ReplyDeleteInteresting! From the looks of that Flickr photo, the former locale was *quite* a contrast to the current location & look of the place. Thanks for the history lesson; I've updated the first photo to show how the exterior of the club might have looked in 1985 when LA played this show...
DeleteThat (top) now looks like the place! Indeed, looks to be hell of a long ways from the other venue by the same name...
DeleteKinda interesting they decided to keep the name, even though the address wasn't "930" anymore. I guess they'd become an institution by the time of the first move...
Delete9:30 Club was at 930 F Street, NW DC from May 1980-December 1995. Moved to much swankier digs at 815 V Street, NW at the beginning of 1996, and has been pretty active ever since. The original room was on the ground floor, and hosted loads of the bands you cover on this site. I saw the Windbreakers there once.
