Talk about the Golden Tea House closing its doors to shows have been floating around for a while now, and unfortunately, all that talk has become a reality. Earlier today, the post below appeared on the house’s Facebook page. There are a lot of heavy hearts in the DIY community in Philly and all over right now, but also a lot of fond memories. R.I.P. Golden Tea House.
hey lovelies,
golden tea house is no more. everything we’ve got booked right now will be moving elsewhere, and we won’t be doing any more shows. the why and how aren’t really important but suffice it to say it was one of the more predictable inevitable causes. this whole thing has been an absolute pleasure, and we’ve done so much more than i ever would have predicted. so many absurd, beautiful, brilliant, fun, stupid stupid shows. i can’t help but get sappy and sentimental about something that’s consumed most of my free time for so long, but we want to most of all say thank you to everyone who ever lived here, booked shows here, played here, helped out, or just came out to support what we were doing. I don’t think we did anything that great, and we fucked up more times than i can count, but it was fucking magical nonetheless, and hopefully some of you feel the same. we love you all. keep in touch, we’ll be around.
xoxo
