On August 17th, after 16 years functioning as a punk-stylized haven for local and traveling bands, the house hosting It's A Kling Thing! was put up for sale by its landlord. The asking price: $137,900. Though the pandemic put a wrench in the sweaty, shoulder-to-shoulder ethos of most DIY spaces, there's been, after three years, a slight rebound of newer or reshaped venues returning in full force.
After their landlords divulged they were putting Kling's address, and the house next door, up for sale, panic set in for the three musicians, who had helped run the venue for the past six or seven years. So, GoFundMe seemed like a last resort. As of September 6th, the guys have raised $16,585 of the hoped-for $134,000. The faith lies in, Martin explained, banking on raising enough cash to buy the land contract the house sits under. The house would remain in Stewart's name, and Martin and crew would follow a sort of rent-to-own model. "I'm basically being a banker," Stewart said.
