Jake Rosenthal's job is institutional fun. As (former) co-owner of the beloved (and former) Glasslands Gallery(RIP) and current co-owner of PopGun Presents and Elsewhere, Jake and his partners run NYC's most established independent music booking company and Brooklyn's largest independent venue. PopGun, and, by extension, Glasslands, are known for booking acts just at the cusp of international popularity. Just by way of eg, as the list is long, Glasslands, a room with ~300 capacity, hosted MGMT, Yeasayer, Lana Del Ray, Disclosure, Icona Pop, Deerhunter, Tame Impala, Haim, and Jay Reatard, most of them for their first NYC shows.  In this interview, we talk about third party security, building "as legal as possible", inspectors, service to a community, working with emerging artists, growing while staying independent, being a purist in an art business, the commercial support infrastructure for touring artists, running a music venue bar vs a normal bar, being music venue history nerds, and getting that tot money.

04: Jake Rosenthal, Co-Owner, Elsewhere and PopGun Presents

Rami Haykal

Another XXL episode of No Effects. This week, I spoke with Rami Haykal and Jake Rosenthal, the co-owners of Glasslands, a very special music venue here in Brooklyn. Glasslands will sadly be closing at the end of this year, so I thought I would try to capture some of what made it special and say goodbye in this episode. Along the way, you will hear some truly depressing stories of terrible shows my bands have played (and one great one), as well as learning about where Rami and Jake come from, what they care about, and why they are the good kind of club owner. Thanks dudes! Good luck in whatever comes next. Also, everyone else: happy new year!
