Clear Channel... Already in DC??

Forget about The House of Blues… Aren't The Rock and Roll Hotel and The Red and The Black ALREADY owned by Clear Channel??

i haven't heard anything to that effect. i'm curious, what have you heard and from who/where? LiveNation has started producing shows at the RnR Hotel, but that doesn't mean they own and operate it.

heh. a little bird told me. come on you guys - someone write this up for the City Paper / DCist… Put on yer investigative reporter hat(s)

No, the Red and the Black is owned by the DC9 guys.

LiveNation does own the Warner Theatre, however.

And they produce most of the music-based shows at mci/verizon/whatever that shithole is being called this week.

Bryan here from DC9, The Red and The Black and The Rock and Roll Hotel, setting the record straight. LiveNation has no ownership in any of our clubs, they sometimes produce shows at our venues like they do at many other music establishments in the metro area!

Hey Bryan!! You guys are the bomb. Saw Bill at SxSW and thought it would have been a great trip for the "live music" half of DC9 as well. You must go next year!!
