House of Blues gets some local ownership
By adamg on Wed, 02/23/2011 - 11:33pm
Live Nation is selling a 50% share of the Lansdowne Street venue to a local investor group that includes Don Law and David Mugar, House of Blues attorney Dennis Quilty told the Boston Licensing Board today.
The board votes tomorrow whether to allow the change, which Quilty said will mean no changes in the daily operations of the facility. City Councilor Mike Ross attended the brief hearing to show his support for the House of Blues.

Will they make it suck less?
The atmosphere inside this HoB seems designed to suck every little bit of pleasure or enjoyment out of your concert-going experience. We just went to see the Decemberists--one of our favorite bands, who we've seen in a wide variety of venues around town ever since the first time they played TTs--and it was just fucking miserable from start to finish. I don't care who plays there, I'm never going back until I hear of significant improvements.
If you on any of the upper levels...
If your on any of the upper levels and havent claimed a railing space then you mind as well wait for a DVD to come out.
First order of business . . .
. . . for the new part owners . . . get the Avett Brothers to come there for another show.
Glad to see local ownership
I always feel like there's more of a commitment when owners are local. I've shot a small engagement session there and loved the vibe.
