Knitting Factory NEW YORK

About Me

Please visit our website for all things Knitting.

"One of the city's top experimental venues" -URB Magazine
---
"It is rare for a club to act as a magnet for talent, drawing a new scene around itself. But in New York City, where the Knitting Factory has become synonymous with new music, that's precisely what's happening." -Rolling Stone Magazine
---
For a complete listing of all shows (3 rooms, 7 nights a week) and for more information on internships, employment, joining our street team, how to play here, and our life history, please visit our website for all the goods.
Sorry, but we don't reply to MySpace messages.

These are non-paid positions, but our interns get free entrance to shows and excellent references (as long as you're excellent). Send a resume and a paragraph or so about yourself (be creative!) via email with 'intern' as the subject line to:

Congrats to our friends at Pitchfork.tv on the launch! We spent a cozy fall Sunday with them in our offices to help find the perfect Pitchfork VJ - watch it here:

Also, please refrain from posting messages promoting shows at other venues. Thanks!
