Hanger 13 ..

Luke Ory :

" Historic rock venue Hangar 13 caught fire on may 11th 2014, and burned to the ground. It happened mere hours after hosting one of its biggest concerts to date. We were the last group to perform on Hangar 13's legendary stage, and being the venues most frequent performing Metal band, we are devastated.
    The New Orleans’ premier concert venue is an old one.  “Hangar 13″ (Previously “The Hangar” and “Rendon Music Hall”) has had a colored history of being one of New Orleans’ renowned concert venues, having hosted many huge national acts (Including Marilyn Manson, Nirvana, Down, NIN, etc.). And now its gone.

    The Rock scene in New Orleans has been struggling lately. And now, with Hangar 13 destroyed, it suffers even more. It was one of the ONLY places left in the Big Easy for ANY Rock band to play. Local and National. Except that the National bands get to move on to the next city and rock out, while we wait, and hope, that Hangar 13 rises from the grave." - Luke Ory, guitars, vocals, song writer, front man of Headspill.
