Nublu is the eclectic and unassuming East Village venue that remains the epicenter of a unique fusion of diverse musical elements. This has attracted the admiration of many people and it's been touted anywhere from the New York Times to Paper Magazine. I's no surprise to come across Lou Reed at the bar, Kevin Spacey checking out the bands, or Norah Jones dancing to Forro. Late last year, Jovanotti the Italian superstar chose Nublu as the place for his residency, and it was filled over capacity for eight straight weeks. Legendary artists like Gilberto Gil and David Byrne did secret shows and Moby said the he quickly realized he that he "had more fun DJing records for 75 people at Nublu than going on tour and performing in front of 10,000 people a night" XLR8R Magazine (2008). As one of the most unique venues in New York City, Nublu presents 800+ diverse shows annually, becoming an important part of the music community in New York.
