I have one question as I walked into The 54 club on South Tacoma Way. Well, two thoughts, actually. One is where the hell is the kitchen equipment, booze and sound equipment? The more important question is â€" will the Weekly Volcano still be sponsoring the (hed) PE show at The 54 June 2?

Concert promoter Joey G â€" who books shows at The 54 through his company The Show Media â€"  told the Weekly Volcano:

Mid-week The 54 owner Robert Spinden backed up a U-Haul to the back door of the bar and loaded kitchen equipment, the safe, and most everything else in the club.

While this was all taking place at midnight the sound guy discovered what was going down and secured his equipment, too.

Concert promoter Joey G indicated that even though the 54 was making a profit, Spinden broke his five-year lease, leaving Joey holding the bag for several bands and concerts scheduled for the summer.  Joey is scrambling to help the landlord find someone else to lease the building so they can fulfill the contracts they have with the bands.

Joey G has also posted information on his Web site. â€" Brad Allen
