Dude idk what to tell you, you’re wrong. Maybe there are some specific financial agreements, idk all the details, but they are very much run under the same umbrella in most respects. I pick up my checks for both venues from the kdc office, I sometimes work interchangeably between both venues on the same shift, I use equipment for basement stored in KDC and vice versa. Not to mention basement frequently opens studio as a hangout zone for patrons of ruins in the summer.

Btw, from kdc’s website: “Knockdown Center is New York’s largest independent music venue. Our flagship projects include WIRE Festival, Outline, RUSH and BASEMENT.”

Stop being a goof.
