The Riot Room rose from the ashes of the Hurricane. Booking some of the hottest names in local music, the scaled-down, cleaned-up spot at 4048 Broadway has quickly re-earned its cred as Westport’s rock-and-roll institution. Dimly lit and loud, the Riot Room can be intimidating — or a godsend for those who are comfortable with the debauchery of the midtown scene. Claiming that it’s “bringing wasted back in style,” the Riot Room has a reverse happy hour at midnight. But early in the evening is when some of the area’s most ubiquitous drinking musicians can be found at the circular bar.

Re: “The Noise FM, Capybara, Full Bloods, the Photo Atlas, Everyday/Everynight, Archie Powell and the Exports”

Howler has dropped off the bill. The Noise FM, Fullbloods, Archie Powell & The Exports, Photo Atlas show originally scheduled at Czar Bar has been moved to Riot Room and combined with Everyday/Everynight and Capybara.
That's a pretty sweet lineup.
