Sub-Mission, one of the last remaining truly independent performance venues in probably the whole world, is in danger

Thanks to rent woes and new demands from their landlord, they’ve been forced to launch a GoFundMe campaign.

Capp Street Crap reports:

Txutxo Perez, one of the owners of the gallery and performance space between 17th and 18th Streets, said the landlord has agreed to a new 5-year lease with the condition that they first make the necessary upgrades themselves. Perez said he hoped to have started construction this month but now he doesn’t know when it will happen.

As of April 15, Sub-Mission’s rent will also go up by $3,000. The goal of the fundraising campaign is to raise enough money to help Sub-Mission get through at least until the end of April. But Perez said the situation will be dire if the project is at a standstill when May rolls around.

    Except the people who run that shit are misogynistic a-holes who like to dominate their presence and make people at shows feel uncomfortable and not welcome. I’d be more in support if they personified less of these characteristics.

      Really? – I’ve never seen that type of thing go down. Maybe you had a bad experience with the psycho, but harmless, bouncer who hates smoke? Chucho never says much and they have a female bartender, too. Please explain your POV.
