Sin-é
Encyclopedia : S : SI : SIN : Sin-é
Sin-é (pronounced "shin-ay", Irish Gaelic for "that's it") is the name of a current music venue in New York City, as well as the name of a previously existing venue which was important in exposing many New Yorkers to vital talent in the early 1990s.
The original Sin-é
The original Sin-é was located on St. Mark's Place in the East Village. Sin-é allowed performers such as Katell Keineg, Jeff Buckley (with an album recorded live "Live at Sin-é"), and David Gray to take their first steps in the music business. The informal atmosphere and devoted regular audience were instrumental in creating a fertile musical scene that flourished until Sin-é closed its doors in the mid-90's.The current Sin-é
Located at 150 Attorney Street, at the corner of Stanton Street, on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the new Sin-é was built to be the "epicenter" of New York musical venues [link]. Sin-é was named Best New Venue in NY Magazine's Best of New York Issue (March 2003). On its first birthday, Sin-é was awarded "Best Place to See a Local Band's First Gig" by NY Magazine (March 2004) for helping nurture acts like The Seconds and The Secret Machines.References
