THE ACID LIVING ROOM VENUE (RIP 06-07): IS CLOSED


Last night, February 24th, around 11 pm, a happening at the Acid Living Room (210 Tyne, Murfreesboro) was shut down by the cops for the last time. The home has hosted shows for the past seven months or so (and another nine months prior, at another location). They've hosted such touring artists as Adrian Orange, Stooges saxophone player Steve Mackay, San Francisco's Sic Alps, and Brooklyn's La Otracina, and local acts like Deluxin', Tyler McDaniel, A Poet Named Revolver, the Most Amazing Century of Science, and Bad Friend to name only a few. The house also led to the formation of new bands including The Ascent of Everest, Baby Teeth Thieves, Evil Bebos, and Dead Hippies. The Acid Living Room, along with Grand Palace Records (also recently shut down as a live venue) and a handful of other recently folded house venues, was instrumental in fostering a creative renaissance and a new sense of community in the Murfreesboro indie scene.
In a cruel twist of irony, the event last night was perhaps the home's most communal endeavor to date. Billed as the Noisefest, anyone and everyone was invited to bring any equipment and participate (like a more chaotic version of Nashville's recent Music Picnics). In addition to ending a very good time in a very unpleasant fashion, the cops issued each of the three ALR residents present a $140 noise citation, and harassed those attendants under 21, sure that they had been drinking. Although most present were not drinking, three were arrested for underage consumption.
The shutting down of the Acid Living Room marks a dark day for Murfreesboro. In the sprirt of community created by the ALR, we the concerned citizens of Murfreesboro are already in the process of planning benefit shows in both Nashville and Murfreesboro to help with costs incurred by the residents last night. More information will be sent as it becomes available. Interested parties may write to [email protected]
Thank you.
