Very cool, vibey Rock space in the heart of Hell's Kitchen in New York

About the Space

Very cool, vibey rock space in the heart of Hell's Kitchen... use for small event, photo/film shoot, pop up, podcast, gallery, client meetings, biz event, etc. The space is located in the world famous “Music Building”, former musical home of Madonna, Blondie, Billy Idol, Interpol and Metallica to name a few. The soundproofed space was used as a Rock Music School since 2009, so it has memorabilia, posters, X-Mas lights as the main lighting, no windows, and the lived-in authentic feel of an old school NYC Rock club. Before that, the space was the practice space for the band The Strokes, and dating back to the 80's it was a jam room for the whole building, where the likes of Peter Tosh and Keith Richards jammed. So there is a lot of good Rock mojo in the space. The main room is 400 square feet, but there are two small "lobby" areas, with couches/chairs for additional seating.

The space comes as is, and guests are fully responsible for clean-up. PA is available for all events, with connector for smart-phone/laptop/DJ equip, etc. Full backline (drums, amps, keys) are broken down for events to allow for more space for the event, but are available at an additional $30/hr fee if requested (NOTE: backline must be rented for full duration of event). The space is located on 8th Ave bet 38/39 St, in the heart of Hell's Kitchen/Midtown West and therefore does not have any street parking, but there are plenty of parking garages/lots in the area. The space is one flight up from the ground floor, accessible via one set of stairs. We hire someone to be on hand and on-call for all events in the space, and is included in the fee. They will help on-site, with questions about the space and rules, guests, and any issues that might arise during the event, to help make it a successful event. GUEST RULES: * Please note that event time booked INCLUDES SET-UP AND CLEAN-UP. * Guest who booked the event is solely responsible for the space during event and clean-up. The space must be left in the exact same condition/layout as it was at the start of the event or a clean-up fee will be issued. * Guest who booked the event must be present for the entire event and is in charge of all guests and their conduct, and let them know of the space rules. If someone abuses the space in any way, or becomes an issue or liability, they must be removed from the building, and the person on-call for the event notified. HOUSE RULES: - NO SMOKING in any area of the space (but there is a smoking area on the floor above space). - GUESTS MUST STAY WITHIN SPACE (unless using the bathroom/smoking area) and are absolutely not allowed on any other floor of the building. - NO BEVERAGES ON ANY OF THE EQUIPMENT in the space. - Event must be 21+ if alcohol is provided. - Person on duty for the event is there to ensure safety, and therefore has the right to remove anyone who might become an issue or liability, as well as cap the event if it goes beyond capacity. - IF GUEST NEEDS SOMETHING MOVED in the space, Superintendent must be asked to move item(s) to ensure no damage to the space. - X-mas lights in main room must all remain as is and not partially unplugged. If Guest prefers to have them all off, they can, but must provide lighting. - Everything on walls must remain as is and not removed or damaged. - No confetti or decorations that might cause damage to the space. - No smoke machine use in the space. AFTER EVENT: - Must throw out all garbage in provided trash bag, then take all trash downstairs to the lobby and leave next to main trash can. Make sure there are NO LIQUIDS OR HALF-FILLED BEVERAGES THROWN OUT IN TRASH BAG, or you will be charged for clean-up. - Room must be left completely clean and in the same condition it was found in. There is a vacuum available if needed.

Yes, I would book again.

Chris was a great host. He allowed me to view the space before booking. I loved this space, he was very accommodating to me after losing a few hours of filming due to issues. This place looks great on camera as well.

Santhiago D. booked an event for 5 people

Chris was incredibly responsive and accomodating. The space actually appeared better than advertised, there is a very special Mojo going on there. We used the space for a special Quarantine Livestream and Chris even sent his sound guy (John) to help us.

The space looked exactly as depicted in the photos and description. Location, size, everything was great and exactly what we needed for the size and type of event I was hosting. Communication was clear, responsibilities were clearly delineated, I am very satisfied, we had a great party and Chris and JP were easy to work with. I would recommend this space.
