Sad news to report, legendary Hoboken, New Jersey venue Maxwell's will be closing its doors at the end of the July. The venue which has played host to many bands including Yo La Tengo, Nirvana, Oasis, The Verve, Titus Andronicus, Screaming Females, Guided By Voices, The Meat Puppets and was the setting to Bruce Springsteen's classic "Glory Days" video will be no longer. The owners said in a statement,"The culture in Hoboken is driven by TV now. A lot of the bars downtown are fighting with each other for who has the most giant TVs. That's what Hoboken nightlife has become."
