Seriously, where was I when the Fantastic 4 formed and decided to melt faces on a temporary but supernaturally unbelievable basis? Although it’s a recently established league of musical justice, I have no
Tiger loses wearing Championship Red, A-Rod’s the paragon of clutch and Bernie Williams jams with the Allmans. Wait, that all sounds wrong. But that’s what really happened on the weekend

It’s a strange time for New York music fans. While new rooms like the Gramercy Theater, Highline Ballroom and Fontana’s are sprouting up, legendary havens like Tonic, Sin-E and possibly the Knitting Factory are shutting down as rising real estate prices and property taxes combine to squeeze out “the little guy.”
I’m all for new venues, but this “out with the old” shit is garbage. It’s Roberto Garbaggio. Tonic is one of the best dressed-down rooms in the country with some of the best acoustics taboot. Everyone that’s been there has a great story they can one day tell their illegitimate kids. But such is life, such is gentrification.
Tonic’s April 13th closure comes six days before the Benevento/Russo Duo was slated to kick off the Green Apple Music & Arts Festival with two acoustic performances. Rest assured, the shows will still go off as planned, only they’ve moved to the Knitting Factory, which remains open for at least the foreseeable future (or until the building is actually sold and it predictably gets kicked to the curb, despite the current lease). Apparently neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow, nor club closures will stop the best duo in music history from melting faces.
