Laundry Bar GRAND FINALE Sunday August 31st

That's right folks... Laundry Bar is closing down for renovations after Labor Day Weekend and will reopen a few weeks later under a new name. No... it's not another club biting the dust... it's actually the opposite. Owner sees promise... so it's time to update the place and its image for what will definitely be a HOT SEASON.

So I made sure to grab the last available date at the club that has treated Miami to some of the most amazing nights of underground dance music in recent history. THIS will be a barnstormer of a finale... featuring San Francisco's NIKOLA BAYTALA and Miami's very own MICHAEL LOUIS.

RIP LB.

Looking forward to V 2.0. Big ups the LB crew!

+ jojoflores x 2 (once unannounced) thanks for both gigs! That joint screams underground movement...hope they're able to keep that aspect in V.2.0

Good that they're being candid about their plans, and giving somewhat of a timetable on their re-opening. Too many clubs "close for renovations", and are never heard from again.

I understand using the shorthand for texting but can't we actually type out the whole word when using the big-boy keyboard?

Is the new LB going to be a laundramat as well or will 2.0 be exclusively a nightclub?

What's happening with Suite/Snatch? They supposedly "closed for renovations"

I've probably forgotten a few, so forgive me if that is you. Also, this list doesn't include any of the excellent local djs we have in Miami who have come and rocked the spot. South Florida is ripe with talent and it shows.

We'll keep bringing this kind of talent because these kinds of music are what I love to hear. I've been doing it for about 8 years now here in Miami. Big thanks to the people who have helped us put together some of these parties.

Last but not least, thank you to all the people who come out to enjoy our events, you all are the reason we have been successful and we can't thank you enough.
