…nowhere. The local five-piece has the dubious honor of being the first band-booking casualty at the Croc (and the only one of their bill with a working MySpace page), so I fired off a query to see if they’d heard much. Not that I expected the middle-slot band from a Tuesday night gig to get the skinny, but here’s what singer/guitarist Bob Malvestuto sent along:

I just got the word from a bartender who was working there. Apparently, as of yesterday morning, they had already changed the locks on the doors!! We were given no notice, and if I hadn’t heard just by chance, we’d still be thinking that we were playing on Tuesday.

Hadn’t heard about the changed locks, anyway, so I suppose the closure was mighty premeditated—which is interesting, since all accounts claim that it was a shocker. Question, then, is who handled the lock-change process—tenant or landlord?
