Anyone know what happened to "The Muse?"

Locked up and emptied out

The Muse was an ambitious new coffeehouse on Sixth Avenue, with live music on the weekends and open mics on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

This Thursday (yesterday), they were scheduled to have a concert with a couple of national touring acts. We showed up, only to find the place locked down and dark.

Today, I walked by and got a peek inside. Everything is gone ... sound system, seating, everything.

The website says it's "closed for maintenance ... come back again soon."

Anyone know anything? I was hoping to play there, doggone it! Tacoma has precious few paying venues for musicians. It was exciting to see one arrive and disappointing to see it disappear so quickly.

Gone is what they are.

Another one bites the dust
And another one gone
And another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust
