Bowery Presents takes in Boston

The Bowery Present kind-of own live music in NYC (and Montclair, New Jersey). They've put on some shows in other cities, but now they're opening their first club outside the tri-state area.

The Bowery Presents, the company that puts on concerts at the Bowery Ballroom, Terminal 5 and other spaces in New York, has signed a long-term deal with the Royale club in Boston to be the exclusive presenter of live music there. The Royale — which until recently was called the Roxy — is a 1,000-capacity space on Tremont Street with an open floor and a U-shaped balcony. Known to Boston clubgoers as a late-night dance haunt, the Royale will be outfitted for live music and have about 100 concerts a year, said Jim Glancy, a partner in The Bowery Presents.

The Royale will be the company’s first space outside the New York area. (It also helps run the Wellmont Theater in Montclair, N.J.) The Bowery will open a small office in Boston to run the Royale shows and book events for larger spaces. “It’s a fantastic market,” Mr. Glancy said. “The type of music we book totally lends itself to Boston.” That music is mainly rock, but as at Webster Hall in New York, the Royale will continue to put on its own dance events independently of the rock shows. (After renovations, the Royale will have its official reopening on Saturday, a dance night.)

The first announced concert booking for the Royale is the reunited Public Image Limited on May 4 and 5, but Mr. Glancy and another Bowery partner, John Moore, said they expected to book others in April.
