The VIP Room is now The Record Room!

 

First Avenue is excited to announce that we will be transforming the VIP Room into The Record Room. In addition to the name change, the space will also be getting a makeover as local artist Greg Gossel will be installing a massive mural in the room. Rest assured, it will still be the home to some of the best local and national DJs and dance nights. Join us on Sunday, April 4, 2010 at 10pm when we will be celebrating the renovation with a Passion Pit after party featuring DJ sets from Passion Pit, The Moon Goons, Famuel, Ricky Biggs and Upgrayde.
