No, it’s not a new venue. It’s a music program for young people. (Sorry, club goers.) The email we saw about it said:

In case you hadn’t heard, I’m starting a rock school out here in Brooklyn with Tracy Bonham, Peter Brown, Tomas Marsh, and James Joughin. If you or anyone you know has a kid between the ages of 8 to 16, we’re running a 3-day intensive camp (July 22 -24) to kick off the school culminating with a performance on the evening of July 24th.

Group lessons run to $35 per student per one-hour class. It would appear from the website that the studio where lessons take place is actually in…gasp…Prospect Heights at 227 St. Marks Place.

Here’s a bit more info about the club:

GOWANUS MUSIC CLUB strives to give kids, ages 8 to 16, an opportunity outside of the classroom to play music together in a friendly, safe and productive environment. We instruct kids both individually and as a group on their chosen instruments. Our goal is to help students develop ear training, write songs, and “rock out” together as a band. Beyond that, GMC strives to foster the kind of confidence in kids that inspires them to make positive choices, build strong creative expression, and seek collaborative relationships.

There you have it.
