SFBG: "On Tuesday, Aug. 8, approximately 500 bands – more than 2,000 musicians – received notices of eviction from the three-story Downtown Rehearsal complex that since 1992 has been the largest rehearsal space in San Francisco....The shuttering of Downtown is an enormous blow to live music in San Francisco. For many – and perhaps most – of the evicted musicians, there is simply no place left to go. It's the dramatic climax to the rapid demise of the local live-music infrastructure." Yikes.
