The team behind Brooklyn venue Baby’s All Right is opening a new music space within New York’s historic Pyramid Club. Night Club 101 will officially open in the East Village early next year, with a preview club night in partnership with Pitchfork on Thursday, December 19. The event is presented by AdHoc, and will feature sets from RP Boo, Dazegxd b2b Intimacy Simulator, Anysia Kym, DJ Ess, New York, Alphonse Pierre, and Mano. Tickets are available here. Doors open at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time and the show starts at 10 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
Night Club 101—named after its address at 101 Avenue A—will host genre-spanning live performances and DJ sets, featuring indie-rock, jazz, electronic, and experimental artists. The calendar will also include art shows, themed dance nights, multi-disciplinary acts, community-focused events, and more.
Billy Jones and Tom Moore are spearheading the new venue, following the success of Baby’s All Right and former venues Elvis Guesthouse and the Dance. Jones and Moore intend to honor the rich history of the Pyramid Club, which was a crucial space for New York’s underground art, fashion, and queer scenes for decades. Madonna, RuPaul, AHNONI, and countless other artists performed early sets at the club.
Of the new venture, Jones said in press materials: “This space holds so much history, and we’re excited to pay homage to its incredible legacy of course. But at the same time, we always want to push the conversation forward—creating a space that feels alive, surprising, and refreshingly open to the experimentational play that makes New York City, New York City and the reason I moved here 23 years ago.”
