Sound Factory In New York Shuts Down - Dallas Dance Music - Dallas nightlife, music, tickets, and more

Yesterday on Sunday (7th March) morning at about 6am, the owner and two executives of the Sound Factory at Hell's Kitchen club in New York City were arrested after federal agents and NYPD officers moved in as part of a raid. The trio were charged with promoting and permitting the widespread sale of drugs and face up to 20 years in prison if convicted.

Sound Factory usually draws between 3,000 and 6,000 people to the club, especially at the afterparties that start at around 4am and go on until the afternoon. This is not the first time Sound Factory has suffered problems: In 1999 and 2003 the city filed court actions against Sound Factory and other clubs calling them a public nuisance and tried to shut them down.

"The whole club scene is generally one we want to encourage in the city, but they have to be run legally. The owners and managers of Sound Factory chose dollars over decency," said Mr. David Kelley, the United States attorney for the Southern District of New York.

Sound Factory is closed this weekend and whether or not it reopens is unclear at this time. (03/08/04)

That MTV I'm a clubber was fucking ridiculous. I think that's the type of shit that ruins the scene for everybody. I'm sure that there are plenty of people out there that are really like that, but, when everybody thinks of clubs and the people that are associated with "clubbing" that is the way they perceive the scene. Just my thouhts.....

her snorting k off the kitchen floor was one of the funniest things I have ever seen on tv.

Yeah, what a goofy bitch. I just hate the fact that when people ask what kind of music I listen to, and I tell them dance, they automatically start thinking drugs and glow lights. I bet they put that show out on purpose to try to steer people away from that scene, by showing all of those idiots.

yeah too bad about the sound factory.

now lets get back to MTV

I think MTV is a bunch of shit. All they show is shit about celebrities and stupid ass reality shows. Who gives a fuck about all these celebrities and what they wear and who they're with. They aren't paying my fucking bills and I'm sure they would care less if I didn't have food to eat. Not verybody can be a baller and have 26's on a Range Rover. The media is fucking up everybody's minds. People can't or don't know how to draw the line beween entertainment and reality. Jim Morrison once said, "Whoever controls the media, controls the mind." And he is so very right.

i wish al qaeda would fly some planes into road rules and TRL.
If those shows are even on anymore.

Havent liked MTV since Beavis n Butthead. even some of those were dumb. ok all dumb, but funny to a crazy kid like I

GLopez · 03-08-04, 03:08 PM
