Hip Neighborhood Watch: Brooklyn Gets New Music Venue

September 22, 2008 at 10:00 AM | 0 Comments

The list of un-hipster-fied Brooklyn neighborhoods grows shorter seemingly by the day, and gritty Gowanus, wedged between Park Slope and Carroll Gardens, is clearly next on the hit list.

So far, the industrial neighborhood is shaping up to be a focal point for local music. The Bell House, a large new venue from the owners of Park Slope's Union Hall, opened in Gowanus last week. LimeWire has details on the venue's opening night show with secret guests Nada Surf, who were so secret that they didn't even show!

But despite no Nada, The Bell House has lined up an impressive list of indie rockers for their first few months, with Low, Sam Champion and AC Newman coming soon.

At least two more music venues are reportedly on the way nearby in Gowanus: Gothamist has a map of their locations.
