"Purple Rain" club closes
First Avenue, the club featured in Prince's 1983 "Purple Rain," has closed its doors after the club's current owner filed for bankruptcy.
It is unclear as to whether the club will be reopened. Shows scheduled for First Avenue, including a November 24th Urge Overkill show, are being moved to other venues.
