The capital of the public concerned about the news of the closure important for the music industry places, “mummy Troll Music Bar”, Powerhouse and “16 tons”. Boris Barabanov decided to find out, needless to say about the fall of an entire market segment and at the same time to find out how things work in St. Petersburg.”Mumiy Troll Music Bar” located in the Central Telegraph building on Tverskaya, 7,— near to the Kremlin relatively affordable place with food and music and even with the name of the famous group the doors. The Vladivostok team opened her own club at home in 2011, and in 2015 opened its Metropolitan counterpart. On the poster were the concerts a wide genre spectrum, and the menu — far Eastern cuisine. May 22, in social networks there was a message: “Friends, “Mumiy Troll Music Bar” ceases to exist at the old address on Tver, 7. Yesterday we were informed that all tenants of our beloved building Telegraph shall vacate the premises until August 15″.At the same time CYANOGEN has reported the leasing of the premises at the address: Goncharnaya, 7/4, p. 1. In the photo accompanying the ad— the interiors of the club Powerhouse. For six years under the brand Powerhouse worked a restaurant, a bar, a concert hall and music Studio. In March, the virus has deprived the club of the ability to host. The platform called for the regulars to get online records, Souvenirs and certificates for future dinners.At concert club and pub “16 tons”, which operates since 1996, sparked a financial conflict between a group of bartenders and club management. Shortly before the crisis “16 tons” was opened on the Arbat concert bar. Leadership, all the forces which were aimed at promotion of a new place, had to do more and resolve the conflict.All three institutions — the audience favorite places, where they could try their hand young artists and well-known of the group ran in to the audience their new program. Musicians could count on clear and with the right approach to advertising very substantial earnings. 100-150 thousand rubles for the concert — not the stadium fee, but for many it is more than the revenue from streaming, or CD sales.Alas, the fate of the “Mumiy Troll Music Bar” was a foregone conclusion even before the quarantine. New development company Vos hod created a major player in the real estate sector RT&I, bought 55 thousand sq m of space in the house on Tver, 7. From the perspective of the “Mumiy Troll Music Bar”, rental rate, established by the new owners for the club was overwhelming. “Pandemic only accelerated the process,— said “Kommersant” in the club. Easier, taking advantage of the situation, to find a new location with adequate rent”. Until September 1 the owners of the site plan to resolve the issue with the new location and after five or six months to open again.According to the founder of Powerhouse Andrew Algorithmics, about Zachritie club it is not. Realtors every six months, place an ad on rent for CYANOGEN to understand the market demand. Now premises Powerhouse live-streamed online concerts. From 1 June will begin construction of summer veranda.Art Director of “16 tons” Paul Kamakin told “Kommersant” that the internal conflict is settled, the new venue on the Arbat is waiting for “start low” when you can be open, the kitchen is open takeaway. Mr Kamakin is in the final stages of negotiations to open a site in the format of the drive-in (concerts for motorists under the open sky). “But the next month of downtime hurt hurt,” says Mr. Kamakin.Simple wound sites, but more and more artists who used to act on them, sometimes several times a year. The usual schedule of concerts that helm over the years, no, and no one knows when it will appear again.The autumn schedule in the city on the Neva is very dense: a lot of concerts postponed for six months. The current period sites are experiencing, for example, arranging online lectures as a Social Club on Rubinstein street. “We were lucky, we got the project initially was designed for online concerts,— says art Director of the cultural center “Heart” Leonid Novikov.— Some groups during the performances of “into the hat” distribute the amounts comparable with their regular earnings.”Leaders of the St. Petersburg club industry, like Muscovites, more than a negative Outlook, concerned about the uncertainty. “The event is necessary to prepare at least two months,— tells art-the Director of club “Morse” Denis Rubin.— If we knew that all will be revealed no earlier than 2021, that would be crazy bad, but we would understand: now make something different and not trying to cook a complicated event in September. And so there is a danger of the reverse situation: decide that while nothing will happen, and suddenly on 1 September to announce that everything is possible. And nothing and no.”
