CJW Bund Center closed
I know this is already old news, but for those of you who didn’t know already, the second location of CJW in Shanghai just closed about a month ago. According to musicians who had been working there before the closure, the reason for closing was a sudden massive hike in rent by the landlord when the initial rent contract ended. Apparently it might have been a move to force the club out, which may mean the bund center has some intention of doing something else with the space. In any case, they also indicated that the club will reopen another location in Shanghai as soon as they can. The original CJW at Xintiandi remains open, unaffected by the other club’s closure; as does the newest sister–the location in Beijing.
