THOUGHTS FROM FRIENDS OF MO'S

 

I'm so sad to hear this. I love your venue/restaurant. I have had many enjoyable sunday brunches in your care and heard lots of new music I would never have know otherwise. Thank you for the good times and best of luck to all of you. You have run Mo's successfully for a long time, so you can do it again. I wish you all the best.
-Sincerely, Liz

I know we haven't been in contact much this year, because I've been touring a bunch to support the CD I released in March at a party at Mo's. I had so been looking forward to coming back and doing another show, and I'm just heartbroken that I won't be able to do that. I just wanted to let you and the crew at Mo's know that I'm going to miss your venue very, very much, both as a performer and as a fan.
-all my best, Lara


oh no! so sad to hear - I played there just two weeks ago with Rob Kendt... :( we'll be there on the 19th for the Klezmer Brass blow-out.
-Warmest, Ljova


Thanks for helping musicians find replacements for their night at Mo's - we haven't decided on a venue yet, but definitely appreciate your getting the word out to other venues around town. More importantly, I hope I can learn as a musician and audience member how to help keep great clubs like Mo's up and running in this town. These places are vital to the culture and community and I want to show my support. In my 6 years living here, several fantastic places have disappeared including The Bottom Line and The Fez. My first-hand experiences with Mo's, both as a band leader and side person for Nadine, were always positive. I felt respected and cared-for as an artist there and I knew my audience would be comfortable and happy too. Mo's was definitely NOT the busking-style, thrust on and off stage in 45 minutes gig one often encounters as a song writer in NYC! Hope to hear from you soon. I am sending my heartfelt sympathy about the unfortunate news.
-Best wishes, Anna


I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say how sorry and sad I am to hear that Mo's will be closing. We have truly enjoyed having Rachael and our events there and are looking forward to one last hoorah next week. Thank you for giving us the space and opportunity to do so. We look forward to working with you in the future at another fabulous and supportive space as Mo's was.
Cheers! Jojo Gentry - Label Manager, MPress Records - The Muscle Behind the Glitter

Man, what a bummer. We really enjoyed the space and are sorry to see it go. I hope whoever walks in next will recognize the vibe that Phil and Jesse created and try to keep it going. Hope to stay in touch and work together again at other locations down the road.
-Andy Laird


I just wanted to wish you the very best from myself, TM Stevens and my band Trystette. Thanks so much for the bookings over the time at Mo's and I really hope you find a good new home after this sad and memorable farewell. I am sure wherever you go you will be appreciated for your hard work and great support to the arts. TM is away on tour but I will come down before closing, tip my hat and say a farewell prayer.
-With love, Carrie

I’m so sorry I haven’t responded until now but I’m so sad about Mo’s closing! It has been such a great venue/bar/hang out and I’ll really miss it and everyone there. Please keep in touch and tell me where you go next! Looking forward to seeing you at the farewell show and at the party.

Sorry to hear it.
-Jeff

-Adrien


I just want to express my condolences re Mo Pitin's. My son, David Slone, appeared with Evan Lawrence at the club. As a MAC Award winner and former manager and booker of a cabaret (in the early 80s) my heart breaks to see such a warm, well run club close. I know the cycle will turn again. I just hope it's soon. Mo Pitkin’s was very special.
-Best regards, Bobbie H


I am so sad about Mo's. I actually remember when my friend was helping to open it for soo long-literallly painting,building, all that. I am honored to have played there,enjoyed myself there-all that. Thank you for sharing that

Mo Pitkins closing thats fucked up,

I'm really sorry to hear about the closing, such a great space. I saw a show at Mo's two springs ago and said "I'd love to play here with Grimis." I'm glad we got to do it once. Tell the owners best of luck and hopefully something else will come along for everyone!
-Sincerely, David


That sucks. Sorry to hear it.
-Hank


I'm so sorry to hear this news. DAMN! No fundraiser would fix it, I guess? Well, it's been an honor to be both a performer and a patron of Mo Pitkins and it is with sadness that I witness its closing. I will look forward, however, to your next move and Mo's new incarnation... Hope to see you next week- I'm happy to say I'll get one more chance to play on the 6th. Best to you and all you do,
-Natalia


I'm really sorry to hear this. We were so excited about playing at Mo's. Thanks again. And good luck to you.

-Sean


Hopefully you guys know how grateful I am to Mo's for giving the anti-slam a home when it had none. Mo's has been my fave place to hang out and do shows for the past two years and I am gonna miss it so much. I am sad that it's closing, but happy that it's not closing as soon as I'd heard. Does this mean I can do my show right up till the 17th? That date will mark the 12-year anniversary of my open mike, which I'll be retiring after that. I can guarantee it will be the party of the decade.
-Rev.


This is so sad, I hate change like this. I hope you're doing well in the midst of the madness. Thanks and shana tova,
-Alyssa


Roslyn and I are very sorry to hear about this. It's a sad day when another great downtown performance space has to shut its doors. Ros and I had a blast performing there. We always felt welcome. Best of luck to everyone!
-Nick and Roslyn


Thats a shame Brice...MAGGES really enjoyed playing at Mo's and watching the staff freak out as we and our crowd did ouzo shots on stage! the venue will be missed...
-Chuck.


What a shame, that was my favorite place to play in the city.
-Athena


We’re definitely disappointed to hear about this as you can imagine! Good luck to you in future ventures.
-Thanks again and good luck. Brian


I'm really saddened to hear the news abour Mo P's closing... What's UP with this city??? Pity... Where am I gonna get fried mac and cheese now???--- not to mention all the cool music that happened there....
-Pam

So sad to hear this, but it's been a pleasure to perform at Mo's! Thanks for the opportunity. -Best to you, Steph

I'm so sorry to hear that Mo's is closing. We really enjoyed playing there, and I was literally just about to email you asking if we could play there on a more steady basis, oh well. I just wanted to say thanks for always thowing gigs our way there.
-All the best, Jake


Thank you for helping the Blowout Lounge and myself. I really appreciate it. We will miss performing at Mo's. I hope we still have opportunities to work together. I wish you the best, please take care and keep in touch.
-Sincerely, Renee


Sorry to hear that Mo's is closing. I am very happy that I will get to do two last shows there. I have enjoyed doing many shows upstairs there for the last couple of years. The vibe reminded me of the old fez which as we know also closed. I am getting tired of all the good clubs closing. People are just not coming out to see live music the way they used to. Back in the late 90's, early 2000's when I worked with The Strokes shows were packed and every band was friendly with each other. Thanks again for all the shows you helped me get at Mo's
-Take Care, Kerri


Sorry to hear the news--hope things go well for the next couple of weeks. As I said before, the band made sure to tell me what good vibes they got from everyone at Mo's.
-as always--thanks Leo


thanks, Brice. very sad to hear the news. thank you for all the hard work you put into bringing cool music to Mo’s. it was a great venue that I’ll miss as a performer and patron. hope everything is good with you guys. look forward to running into you one of these days.
-best, pb


Thanks for your email. I'm so sad about Mo's...I really am! Such good people...and so many memories.

-Best to you, Jenny R


We are sorry to hear that Mo's is closing.
-Kabir


It is so sad and awful. Too much of this going on. But I especially loved being a guest and an artist at Mo’s. Thanks for everything.
-Talk soon. Josie

Sad about Mo's closing. Thanks for booking me. I appreciate it. Good luck in your new ventures.
-Cheers, Zoe L


Ohmigoodness, I'm so sad to hear this. It is such a fantastic and charming space, and you have booked such high-quality, interesting music! I am really sorry to hear that the club's financial woes have won. Oh man, it seems like this is happening to all the good clubs that feature creative, local talent. Well, I loved playing there the times that I did, it's such a great space.
-Good luck, Jody R

I am so sad about Mo's. It is a great loss to the perfoming community. Lady Rizo and the Assettes will always hold it dear to our bossoms and butts. I couldn't find Jesse's email in my book so please send my sentiments along to him.
-xo Amelia


Wow. I don't know what to say. I'm so sorry! I LOVE that place. Thanks anyway for your help and good luck!
-Lee


That's a shame that Mo's is closing.Thank's for your time and consideration in booking me.

So sad to hear this news! Hope that all is well with you, though, and that I'll see you soon.
Best, Nadine


This is indeed very sad -- such a great place. A shame we couldn't do another Peacock's Penny Arcade show, but at least I'll be playing with Camphor tonight.

David Ingle from _The Georgia Review_ here. I'm so sorry to hear about the demise of Mo's! I suppose that's the way of the world. We really appreciated the courtesy you showed us when we had our event up there in the spring. Thanks again for our night at Mo's. Onward and upward!
-Best, David


sorry to hear about Mo's.
-Jim


Jason Liebman here. I just wanted to email and let you know how sorry I am to hear about Mo Pitkin's closing. I was looking forward to establishing a relationship with you and the venue and trying to play there regularly as I really enjoyed the vibe. It's very unfortunate that more really nice venues can't seem to stay open in Manhattan. Thank you so much and good luck to you and all the Mo's staff!
-Kindest regards, Jason


Was very sorry to read your announcement last week. Everyone I represent loves playing there.
-William
