That new venue on Degraw Street that was first reported in July by our friends at Brownstoner, has been fleshed out in detail by Gothamist and by Bumpershine after a press release started circulating. The venue, which will be located at 622 Degraw, will be called Littlefield. There’s a new website (which is just a flash placeholder for the time being) and there’s a Blair Witch/Cloverfield-type of promo vid which is one of the more bizarre videos for a venue we’ve seen (which could be the point). Per the press release:

littlefield is a new performance and art space opening this November in Brooklyn’s Gowanus neighborhood nestled between Park Slope and Carroll Gardens. Housed in an old, 6200-square foot warehouse, littlefield will merge the Gowanus’ industrial past with an organic, eco-friendly future. Green elements include a landscaped interior courtyard, sound walls formed from recycled rubber tires, and a bar constructed of salvaged bowling alley lanes. Coupled with an industrial/green aesthetic will be a state-of-the-art sound system designed for live music, film screenings, and art installations. The main system will be based around the latest 3-way loudspeaker arrays by EAW, powered by QSC amplifiers, and digitally controlled via networked Rane processors. The talent buyers will use the sound system’s flexibility to book various events, with live music being lit tlefield’s most prominent feature.

To further maximize sound and still maintain an intimate setting, a moveable partition is designed to separate the main performance space from the bar/courtyard. When the partition is fully closed, the performance space can accommodate up to 200 people while the bar/courtyard can hold up to 100. For larger performances, the partition can be moved to one side and the warehouse can accommodate up to 300 people.

Now, about that video…
