Megafun performs the first set on the main stage on the final night of the Knitting Factory in Manhattan.
The Knitting Factory has been celebrating noise and eclecticism since it opened on East Houston Street in 1987, and in its earlier days the club gained a wide reputation as a defining stage of downtown music, that clamorous and unclassifiable New York amalgam of jazz, punk, art-rock and experimental new music.
