First Ave Removes Historic Stars From Facade
Yep. Prince And The Revolution, The Time, George Clinton, Sly Stone, Tiny Tim and all your favorites that have played First Avenue over the years are having their silver and black stars whitewashed over.
The plan is to repaint the exterior walls and replace certain stars. Many of them will be gone forever, as they are going to put fewer stars back up and some will be filled by newer acts.
Here's the deal: You can vote/add your two cents as to what you would like to see makes the cut by going to First Ave's site: http://www.first-
First Avenue repainting stars, asking for input from fans
http://blogs.
First Avenue is in the midst of a few different renovations this summer, with their new restaurant, the Depot, slated to open next week, a new women's bathroom in the Entry (!), and the exterior wall getting a bit of a facelift. We received a few panicked emails over the weekend asking if the famed stars on First Ave's exterior were going away for good, but we've received assurance from marketing and promotions director Machen Davis that the stars will be back soon -- with new additions.
"We are indeed repainting," Machen says. "Haven't selected the new bands just yet, but compiling a poll on our website as well as our Facebook and Twitter accounts."
We were curious whether the repainting would coincide with the opening of the Depot, perhaps giving them the space to continue the stars further down the block, but Machen says that they aren't planning on having the stars continue onto the Depot's walls as of right now.
With the addition of the new stars, "I believe some of the stars are going to fade out," Machen says.
To voice your opinion about who should receive the new stars, head over to First Ave's site and leave a comment on the Who deserves a First Ave star? thread.
